Sunday, October 24, 2021Tonight's picture was taken in October of 2004. I remember this day as if it were yesterday. Mattie was enrolled in a Montessori preschool in Washington, DC. He lasted at that school for about two months and then was asked to leave. It was a terrible match for Mattie! Before he was asked to leave, we went on a school field trip to a pumpkin patch. Because I did not trust the school's director, I invited myself along as a chaperone. It was a rainy damp day but Mattie loved the hay wagon ride and the fact that he got to pick out his own pumpkin. The only good thing about that preschool was that it introduced us to Butler's Orchard in Maryland.
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 45,442,006
- Number of people who died from the virus: 735,930
Tomorrow I am having my friend Margy's daughter and husband over for lunch. My friend died in March of this year from ovarian cancer. It is a huge loss for her family and friends and it is unfortunate that Margy isn't joining us tomorrow. But I know she is with me in spirit. While deciding on tomorrow's menu, a cardinal came right up to my window and was staring at me. I took that as a sign. I have to admit I have never cooked anything gluten free ever! But one of my guests tomorrow is gluten free. So I decided to purchase gluten free flour and yeast and made rolls. In fact everything I am cooking for tomorrow is gluten free, including gluten free brownies. I honestly can't imagine how this will taste, but staying open minded. It was another busy day on the farm. One chore or task after the other. We did finish hanging all of Peter's photography in his office. I have to get a photo during the day light hours. But we have done everything from hanging new blinds to even inflating this pumpkin today. My mother in law sent us this for Halloween and will we put it outside this week. In our 27 years of marriage, this will be our first time actually visited by trick or treaters. Peter went outside tonight and luckily did not step on this HUGE toad! How do you like this?
