Greetings everyone, Autumn is my favorite season, and although it dose not officially start for another week, It certainly feels as if it has arrived. It has been very cool here in the Ozarks, and as you can see from some of today's pictures we are already seeing some color. There are also many flowers blooming, such as Golden Rod and Aster. Today I watched as a big red squirrel stored acorns from our Oak trees in the front yard. He worked very diligently, running up the tree getting an acorn, then running down the tree and selecting and digging a spot for his one little acorn. Then back up the tree, over and over again. Today was overcast and rainy as the last few days have been, so I did what a rainy day calls for. I made stock. Chicken stock, I dug carrots and onions from the garden, gathered herbs and took out two chicken carcasses I had stored in the freezer. As a nod to the season I also included some mushrooms and a cob of corn, it is still simmering as I write this. There is a cool breeze whispering through the windows, the candles are glowing and the house smells wonderful.
