Crispy Leaves and Apple Pie

A past pie I baked
The loud cow
Our house from the back

Yep it's Fall. I love it. Cooler weather, Apple stands, Colorful leaves. I drove to the Springs today and since I had my Birthday 25% off coupon for Borders, I bought a new book "SAVE ME FROM MYSELF" It is by Brian"Head"Welch, who use to be the lead guitarist of the group Korn. He went from the life of drugs, etc, to finding God in a big way. It's even autographed by him. I also knew the Borders had a big one day sale, so I got a new Deluxe Scrabble game. The one that has a turn table. I can't wait to play it. On the way home I stopped at 'Third Street Apples' here in town, and got enough apples to bake a pie. YUM. I bought a greenish/red apple. A Jonathan cross. Very juicy. The pie turned out great! I would have a picture of it, but I left my camera at work. Duh. I also made a (mostly) home made pizza for dinner. I used a Boboli crust. It was good also. I love the cool weather, its fun to bake again. I do not want to turn on the furnace yet. Maybe just the small heater. :) It snowed on Pikes Peak today.

Thursday of this past week, my landlords separated a momma cow from her baby. OH Man! She mooed, and mooed, and mooed all night. They want to wean her so she can have another calf . Between the mooing cow and the stupid roosters crowing, I really feel like I'm a farm woman. The five baby chicks are doing well. I do wish Bob was here to do the chicken things. I have no idea, when I will even see Bob again. He is in Texas, and then going to Kansas for training on the new job. Maybe I'll be moving there someday. Me and Toto. Ha ha. So I'll say bye for now and Karen Pelka, congrats on your new grandson JACK!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL......Gail
