Rainy Days
The weeks are seeming shorter and shorter, every one flies by faster than the one before. Didn't I just ask how it could be Friday already? And here we are at the next one. I guess that's how the years fly by leaving us with the question, "Where did the time go?" Next week my youngest son will celebrate his 21st birthday. I honestly don't know where the years have gone.
Yesterday and today have been cold and rainy. November is settling in and I am grateful for the days I was able to spend outside this week. Autumn winds always leave me struggling with allergies but I don't think I would really want to trade fall for eternal summer. I love autumn too much.
The gray day and Ben's birthday gathering tomorrow evening will find me peeling apples and building pies today. (He made a request for both apple and pumpkin.) Tomorrow I will get out my fancy mixer and make pizza dough because I think it's time for another party. Maybe, just maybe if I keep gathering them all back every so often, my kids won't ever disappear completely.

Lovely pies! Yum! Lauren's favorite is apple and I think I'll bake one for Thanksgiving, which is not my normal tradition. Maybe it will turn into one!
ReplyDeleteI do find great pleasure in baking for my kids...especially the ones that only eat here once a week. Last week, Taylor saw his favorite ginger cookies and said, "I'm especially excited to see those cookies on the table!" Aw...loved that. :)
Fall really is wonderful...the food, smells, colors, even the bluer than blue sky.
I love fall. It's really the most beautiful time of all.
DeleteAnd grown up kids, they bring great heartache and great satisfaction. I wouldn't trade them for anything.
