Minnow loves to cook.  He watches hubby and I cook and now whenever one of us is in the kitchen cooking he has to get out his own pan and needs a spoon, a spatula and a wisk.  Today he desperately wanted something inside of his pan to stir as daddy was making his sunshine potatoes  (that’s what we call them in our house–don’t ask).   

We went out today, taking advantage of this amazing fall weather we have been having.  I know that very soon the weather will turn cruel and going outside to even get the newspaper will suck.  I have also been wanting to get out and take some photos of the beautiful fall foliage that we have.  It is a bad year for the colors but there are some bright spots.  This is my favorite time of year and the one I missed most when I lived in Santa Barbara.  That and the fact there concrete is everywhere and the number of parks was minimal.  I love living in the midwest where there are lots of green spaces and lots of parks that are more than a patch of grass and a playground. 

 A great way to end a beautiful weekend.
