Happy October! It is beginning to really feel like fall, the leaves on the neighbor's maple tree have started to change color. Last year, we made these cookies using a
butter cookie recipe and
carrot juice and confectioner's sugar to make the frosting
naturally orange. We got that maple leaf cookie cutter 5 years ago while in Vermont. We gathered some acorns, black walnuts, green and brown sweet gum spikey seed pods, leaves of various colours from around our neighborhood...
If I didn't have a runny nose and sore throat, I'd make a batch of cookies today. Over the weekend, Hannah peeled and chopped 6 apples up to make an apple pie. She is 11 and I'm so happy that she is such a good little baker. Maybe she'll bake some cookies? This morning, I sipped some Traditional Medicines throat coat tea with Ell Farm honey in it. I'm feeling a bit better.
Rob is trying to fix the washing machine right now. Hannah and Olivia are working on their homeschooling lessons...and I will see if they need any help and work on the alphabet cross stitch.
