Homekeepers Journal - August 24th


Baby Clay around age 2. 
Can't believe he's headed to kindergarten this week!

This week's Homekeeper's Journal is all about thoughts of Autumn.

Autumn in my kitchen means ……. A crockpot of chili using local, grass-fed beef.  Then settling down to the table for a bowl of chili topped with sour cream and shredded raw cheddar cheese with homemade cornbread on the side.

Autumn in my home brings …….My birthday! 

I bring Autumn indoors by ……..Incorporating items from nature - pine cones, bare branches, colorful leaves, pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn.  Also decorating with colors that bring to mind warmth - browns, reds, and oranges.

A few favorite Autumn activities for my family are …….The NC State Fair is an absolute MUST for us during Fall!  I love the sights, the sounds, the FOOD!  Funnel cakes - yum!  We also enjoy heading out to one of the local farms to pick our pumpkins for carving.

Two favorite Autumn recipes are …….My Chili using local, grass-fed beef and Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese (can substitute sweet potatoes - another Fall favorite!).

This Autumn I would like to ………Go apple picking!
