On the last sunny Friday, I was happy to volunteer at Zilker Park with the Entrepreneurs Foundation. It was so nice to spend the day outside using my muscles, rather than sitting inside at my desk. We helped rebuild the steps by the Nature Center. So if you are ever visiting the blind birds, and take a walk down the trail, please watch your step!
Was sitting on the wire before it is cool. (new in the Little Amaryllis shop)
The pumpkins are carved, so all we need now is the pumpkin pie! (and some candy of course.) We went with a bat theme this year: bat trio and a cat bat.
Yellow hipster birds only bathe in organic, fair trade water. (new in the Little Amaryllis shop)
My soul is soothed by most molasses/ginger based cookies. The smell of baking cookies reminds me to feel very grateful for being warm and cozy, and to pray for those that are not so much. (recipe here)
I have already made pumpkin donuts this season. I wanted to make something else that was still fall themed, and I found these apple doughnuts with caramel drizzle. But then, I took out all the things in the recipe name, and made pear donuts instead. I love a good pear, and it was torture for me to wait for the pear to be ripe, and then save it for the recipe. I tried to make them for breakfast, but I had bad timing, so I had to make them for dessert. They were so good fresh from the oven. I think they would make really good muffins too, since they weren’t too sweet.
My ma got me this little pumpkin pattern. I haven’t followed an actual pattern in a while. Patterns are such a science and art. I think the little pumpkin turned out really cute, and fits right in with the little gourd and candy arrangements. It is nice to come home to his smiling face.
Spending the weekend before Halloween eating treats and watching movies with my boy. (card from here)
…this was my actual job title. (found at this etsy shop)
We finally got a doormat. Which means we can finally let people who just walked through mud into our home. Thank goodness.
