• Rain, rain go away

  After a fairly dry and nice summer, we've had a couple of weeks with what seems like endless rain. I know that is an exaggeration, but we've had more days of clouds and rain than days of sun.  I told Brad this morning that I don't care if it's warm, I just want to see the sun.  It definitely feels like fall around here and I've been craving things like pumpkin bread.  It has also been a window into winter with the kids in the house more than outside.  It may be a long winter, especially for Augustin and I.  He has so much energy to get out and there is just no way after spending entire days outside this summer, that he can do that in any good way in the house.  I'm hoping he enjoys the snow this winter because he is going to have to go outside every day.

  I picked up 4 more pumpkins yesterday at the local orchard to bake and turn into pie/bread filling.  I am going to start cooking those down today and I may actually use one batch to make bread rather than freeze.  I think pumpkin bread would be a great addition to our rainy day.  Tomorrow is the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, so I also have cupcakes to bake for our cupcake rosary.  Nothing like a little baking to warm up the kitchen.
