Cider donuts and quotes
Imagine my excitement when I got this message from my son and daughter-in-law! Every fall they go to Edwards Apple Orchard in Illinois and get freshly made cider donuts. This year Keith packed up a dozen on Saturday and they arrived still fresh on my doorstep on Monday. I finished the last one today, dunking it in my coffee.
Outside, the lengthening morning shadows in my yard indicate that we're tilting toward winter and the dark, rainy season. I must make the most of every sunny, crisp fall day.
Now for some quotes. I'm working hard at these first two in the ongoing creation of my new life as a single woman.
But I think I need to incorporate this last one into my plan.
Heavy quotes...but good to have them for inspiration!!!! Love the donuts! I actually went to our orchard about 2 miles from the house but only bought apples to make a pie! Guess I might have to make another visit!
Definitely enjoy every moment of sunlight while you can! And I love your quotes, and the delicious humor of the last one. What a lovely "care" package you got! Bet they tasted yummy...
I have always said I hate the fall and I hate winter. But guess what, every single year those two seasons come again. What does that MEAN?? I guess it means that I can't control every aspect of my life but I do the best I can. I guess my thinking goes along with the first meme. The last one made me smile. One thing I can tell you is that I have been married for 48 years and I am too naive to every want to deal with spending time with another man.
Nice for you to get those donuts!! I don't really eat donuts. But I love cookies!!
Glad you got that yummy care package. Such a thoughtful son! Love the quotes especially the first one which I remember using at a difficult time in my life. Also, love the last one with the humor!
I am a quilt artist and journalist living in Tucson, AZ, after 12 years in the Pacific Northwest preceded by shorter stints all around the country. I started this blog as a way to keep in touch with other fabric artists but soon started weaving in threads about colorful places, people, food, wildlife and anything else that might bring color to your world. Your blog comments are most welcome. Thank you for visiting.
