Bountiful

 

Pumpkins, green beans, tomatoes - oh my! And apples...apple cake (K's), apple muffins (mine), apple butter - and also caramel apple butter (which are both mine andmy daughter's - and also, so you know, 'caranel apple butter' is apparently what you get when you substitute a half c. of brown sugar for the regular kind, then cook it all in the crockpot overnight. Many shades darker than the regular apple butter - which was the first batch, pictured here, which was also good...But the caramel-y batch? So dark, but mm, so good...). Oh, and apple pie, which is Second Grandgirl's first pie-making (collaboration).

All that, and in so many other ways, it's been a bountiful harvest, this year - from our tiny garden, messy kitchen, loving and beloved family and friends....

Lots and lots to be thankful for...and I am...I am so very thankful. Thankful for all of this, all of them - all of you. Hope you have plenty too. Blessings to you and yours'~ xo

p,s. Blogger continues to be a booger towards me, so please forgive me for what looks like months and months now, of not commenting on your Blogger blogs/...at last count, there are two Blogger blogs that I know of, which  still allow me to post comments - and their comments appear to be set up a little differently, than most. Have tried changing settings, etc, et ceterm to no avail. This has been putting a major crimp in my blogitude, as it were, though trying to snap out of it...Anyway, just wanted to say, I'm especially thankful to those of you who continue to stop by, despite the utter lack of commenting on my part, not to mention the snail's pace of posting, around here. Will continue to work on figuring out this latest glitch...and will try to dust things off around here, a little more. Meanwhile, thanks for hanging in there with me. 

p.s.s. I'm not sure, but I think that postscript may be longer than the post it's attached to...Maybe when I'm stumped, I should just try writing postcripts? Hmm...

Hello dear Twinkly Tinker friend,
It makes me happy to read about your bountiful Thanksgiving with your family in the messy kitchen together!! What a warm heart and kitchen you have filled with love and laughter and delicious smells are wafting all the way to my studio in Texas.
Why I am grateful is for how you took the time to care about me when I was going through this time!!
Love,
Constance

Oh yum, all that apple stuff!

Thanks, everyone - the yumminess was truly a family collaboration. And I almost forgot to mention my oldest grandgirl collaborated with me on the sugar & spice leaf cookies, for which I'm so grateful.
Constance: I'm not sure if they so much Approve of the Lilliputians, as much as they are fascinated... Hard to tell with cats, for sure, though. They like to play it cool, you know ;-) xo
Gemma: I definitely count your friendship among my blessings!
Janet: If you make some let me know how yours' turns out!
Judie: Wish I could share the yumminess with you. Most of it is just sweet memories now ;) Hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving! xox
