AUTUMN....

HI, YA'LL
I sure hope your days are as beautiful as the autumn days here on the Plains of West Texas.  It seems each day is prettier than the one before. Such a pleasure to be outside.

Well, I woke up this morning, wanting a homemade biscuit...
there's just not much I enjoy as much for breakfast than BISCUITS...:))

so...out came the ingredients and away I went.

My cousin made that small rolling pin for me so many years ago,

I can't even remember.

It's just the perfect size.....

.....and the cutters in the background were my mama's.

Three different sizes and I use them to cut out COOKIES, too.

I added SOUR CREAM to my biscuit recipe this morning
and those
biscuits were so light, they almost
floated off.

Boy, I sure do love adding sour cream to just about any baked goods.......awesome....
A.W.E.S.O.M.E.
in cake batter. WHEW....so good.

I can't find it in my decorating heart to use antlers INSIDE the house,

but they look pretty cool OUTSIDE. :))

See that LITTLE BITTY biscuit?

My mama ALWAYS made a tiny biscuit for my brother and I...

 Is it silly that I get comfort from a little biscuit every time?
Can a tiny biscuit be called
a comfort food...? I think it can.

Actually, there's so many of my memories connected to foods.....




"By all these lovely tokens September days are here, With summer's best of weather And autumn's best of cheer."

Helen Hunt Jackson

 A weathered piece of wood, fall leaves, hot biscuits in a CAST IRON skillet

makes me think of CHUCK WAGONS.

Throw in a bunch of BRANDS and I can almost smell the 

cattle  and hear the cowboys whistling and hollering to the herd.

Mr. Sweet makes custom 

branding irons and "brands" a section of our fence with ea one he makes.

Truly a COOL fence.

"Falling leaves hide the path so quietly"

I love fall! Fall is exciting. It's apples and cider. It's an airborne spider. It's pumpkins in bins. It's burrs on dog's chins. It's wind blowing leaves. It's chilly red knees. It's nuts on the ground. It's a crisp dry sound. It's green leaves turning And the smell of them burning. It's clouds in the sky. It's fall. That's why... I love fall.

FAUX Autumn leaves...

Our leaves out here in West Texas are still GREEN....

the lawns are still GREEN...

and it's still pretty DRY out here on the plains.

The foliage has been losing its freshness through the month of August, and here and there a yellow leaf shows itself like the first gray hair amidst the locks of a beauty who has seen one season too many.
