Am I a little confused about what season it is here?  No, I just had an extra can of pumpkin left over from last autumn that I have been itching to use, so I finally put it to good use this afternoon.  It was a good day to bake because it has been pouring down rain most of the day. 

  Yesterday's weather was vastly different.  Mr. Sun was shining on us strongly here and the girls and I went over to the neighbors so they could play in the sprinkler with their friend and I could sun and talk with their mom.  I wore a bathing suit (very, very, rare for me!) which I would not do if the yards in our neighborhood were not as private.  The sun felt really good and my shoulders got a little red.  It was a fun change from the routine!

  Now the girls are making dough from a recipe for Christmas tree decorations (maybe are confused about the seasons), another indoor activity.  I am curious to see what they will make out of it. 

Gotta go drive my youngest to the dentist!
