Honeycrisp_1via Not Martha:

Interview with a Honeycrisp Apple.

I first noticed these babies in the grocery store a few weeks ago. I am always on the hunt for the perfect apple. For me crispness is crucial and until the Honeycrisp entered my life, Macoun were my favorites with Granny Smith running a close second. These are the best apples I’ve ever eaten.

take a sweet bite of fall!

Things I should be doing:

1. raking leaves
2. organizing drawers
3. vaccuuming
4. washing bird crap off the living room window
5. running downed tree limbs through the chipper shredder

Things I would rather be doing:

1. watching a movie
2. knitting
3. zipping around town in Onslow

who knows how this will play out?

and now here’s a little seasonal quiz – I think my result speaks volumes……

Keeping up Appearances

I missed the Spinning Guild Meeting last night.

I was not without spinning wheels, however!! I proudly present Onslow, our newest family member ….

We picked our Mini Cooper up yesterday afternoon and spent the remainder of the day putting 100 miles on it as we zipped all over the place. I even took a few turns behind the wheel!

Darlings, please remember that Onslow is a six speed manual transmission and it was long ago, and far away that I have driven a stick shift. I am pleased to report that I didn’t do all that badly. I will admit to a few stalls, but hasten to add that these all occured when the pressure was on – someone behind me at a stop sign, or making a left hand turn on a major road with people in back. I attribute it all to stage fright and am confident I will work out any jitters.

If Boar and I ever separate, Onslow will be the only things we fight over for custody!!
