I've never made it, as buying a couple of boxes from Camp Courageous every year satisfies my taste for it and helps a worthy cause. <br /><br />I hear you on the relief that for now the garden is giving you a break. I'm a bit envious, I'd rather my tired (and crabby?) were from preserving garden produce instead of 3 weeks of nearly daily tree cleanup. The derecho laid my garden flat and destroyed or damaged so many of our trees. A few garden things are coming back though. Even firewood people are being picky about what they'll work on right now. I guess I should be happy I don't have much to can - I can't find just the lids in stores. Either I'd need to buy jars to get lids or the expensive re-usable ones and even those are in short supply.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-6514941900119841212020-08-31T16:05:31.064-05:002020-08-31T16:05:31.064-05:00I should never read blogs when I'm hungry!

I get up in the night sometimes like last night but I don't eat. I just stay in bed and read until I start getting sleepy again. Enjoy your fall and I can't wait till it gets really chilly here.....I'll probably have to wait until November!

I've never spent so much money on groceries in my life. That makes it all the more important for us to grow everything we possibly can. That's not any easier, but more necessary! Thanks for commenting.<br /><br />Nancy - Seems we have to go along with whatever changes (and they don't all seem to be for the better, that's certain) are made on the Internet. It's frustrating at best. I wouldn't want to lose the ability to blog though, as I know you wouldn't either. :o\<br /><br />Leigh - Do you get a sense that so very much coming out these days as "new and improved" isn't effective? Don't they have the capabilities of testing anymore before declaring all manner of things "better" let alone SAFE?? Ooops, didn't mean to climb on this horse this morning. ;o)<br /><br />Rosalea - We've even had yellow leaves falling from the trees. And a temp of only 51° this morning! (Wait, wait! I have things in the garden that won't mature at that temp!) Oh, the first apple pie of the season . . . from your own trees. Be still, my heart! :o)Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-27211918019580558622020-08-30T05:33:31.434-05:002020-08-30T05:33:31.434-05:00You have been busy!

There is a different colour of green in the tree leaves, as well as a few flashes of coloured ones here and there, and nights are cooling down. <br />It rained all day yesterday, but today has dawned clear. Hubby brought in a selection of apples off of the most flavourful trees and asked me to 'do something with them'. So..a batch of pastry and apple pie is on my to do list.Rosaleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09403965807770816977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-86600426458096564792020-08-30T03:25:48.529-05:002020-08-30T03:25:48.529-05:00I got some goodies in the mail the other day and w...I got some goodies in the mail the other day and was thinking about making a fruit cake, so yours is timely and I'll have to look up that recipe. I know what you mean about fresh blueberries for those special pies. Only once a year!<br /><br />I reverted back to legacy blogger for as long as they'll let me. The new interface is just too clunky, for one thing. Now everyone seems to be having problems. Be sure to send them feedback about it! This seems to be an extremely ill-prepared change on their part and they need to know what's going on!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-79168597865955784932020-08-29T23:20:48.616-05:002020-08-29T23:20:48.616-05:00That pie looks great!

I make it every year during the holidays it's called the Williamsburg Queens cake and it's amazing! Yes I know the new blogger has some glitches and I've been reporting them from using the older version for now as long as possible. I found you can't put any HTML code in to put a little snippet to go to a link to Amazon. Oh well it's free that's about all I can sayNancy In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749272217529362089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-46536097890921777472020-08-29T21:06:02.607-05:002020-08-29T21:06:02.607-05:00Looks delicious...

Can't find a fix so my apologies. What's with the color changes in the printing? And for anyone trying to find the past posts I've referred to, entering the names of the posts in the Search box does work, but you have to scroll through some other posts to find the one you want.
