I had to run outside the other day at work to get a shot of these pretty white puffy clouds.

Living with our decisions

I've had a difficult week. On Monday, I had to make a very hard decision about one of my animals. I have been struggling with this decision for some time now. I'm telling you about this with a heavy heart. I decided to put one of my animals to sleep. He has been sick for some time now. He's been having seizers for about 2 years, and had started having accidents in the house and refusing to use the cat box. I won't go into much detail about this, but after he pooped on my daughters bed in the spring, he spent the rest of the summer outside. Since we've had some colder weather, he wanted in the house. ...... This week after cleaning up after him several times. I came to the decision, I could not go though the same thing as last winter ....... I'm feeling so bad.

Fall Color

I can't remember what this bush is called, but, I love the little thing that come out in the fall and stay all winter.

They open up and look like this. Aren't they neat!

Salad

I've been feeling fat for a couple of weeks. It may have something to do with our beach trip. hehe,

I need to eat more of this.

Until Tomorrow,

Fall Color

I do love fall color!

Until Tomorrow,

Apple Butter, Yumm!

I'll continue with my four legged friends later this week.

I wanted to share with you what I made this weekend. A friend brought us some homemade apple butter and biscuits in to work on Thusday, " It was so yummy." I wanted to try to make it myself. I had never tried this recipe before.

I'm sharing just in case you want to try some yourself.

Crock Pot Apple Butter

8 cups apples - sliced and unpeeled ( I used Wine saps)

4 cups sugar

4 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. allspice

2 tsp. nutmeg

2 tsp. cloves

Stir all ingredients together. Place in crock pot; uncovered, cook on high for 8 to 10 hours. It isn't necessary to stir. Put in sterilized jars and seal in water. Bath 10 minutes. May also kept in refrigerator or freeze. Should make about 12 (8oz.) jars.

I did stir mine, several time ... just couldn't leave it alone. I put mine in the freezer, in little bags. Didn't have any small jars, but, I love that idea , they would make great gifts.

I ran mine through the blender to make it smoother. It was a little lumpy.

enjoy!
