Last Hurrah!

 Autumn has given us her last hurrah.  It was a lovely one too.

This photo was taken at the end of October.  Now that treeline is bare.

The first few days of November have been gorgeous and warm.  This trend is not to last.  By Friday we will see cooler temps and rain coming our way.  Also there are whispers Saturday and Sunday might bring a winter mix.

Early this morning I grabbed my camera and caught the full moon.  It was even more magnificent last evening.  Unfortunately didn't get a chance to take a photo.

Butternut squash is a perfect fall dish.  I baked this at 425 degrees for approx. 1 hour.  That makes the shell so soft and one can cut it in half easily.

 Then scoop out the seeds...

Add some butter, salt and pepper, or sprinkle a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon and you have a delicious dish.

It makes a great substitute for recipes that call for pumpkin such as pie, bread or muffins.  I can never tell the difference.

Well sweet friends I hope all of you are enjoying autumn's last hurrah!  Have a wonderful end to your week.

Hugs  Debbie

May Happenings

 Here are just a few of May happenings.

Yes Mrs. Hummer has returned.  She and her friends are keeping me quite busy with  the making of sweet nectar.

That sliver of orange is a our Baltimore Oriole.  He likes to visit not only his feeder but the Hummers as well.

The bunny cart got filled this weekend with some favorite annuals.  She had been looking kind of lonely but now she has some company.

Snap Dragons and violas don't mind if a night turns chilly.  In fact they seem to prefer cooler weather.

Skies at dusk this time of the year are delightful.  I never tire of "looking up".

Speaking of looking up, one could not miss this full moon.   

Well these are just a few of May happenings at Harmony Hills.

I will be stopping by to visit each of you and find out what might be happening in your part of the world.

Hugs

Debbie

P.S. Will not be here next week because we will be involved in a special event...our nephew is getting married.   God willing - will return in two weeks.    Have a lovely end of the month.
