Trick or Treat!

Everyone knows thrift stores are a great resource for Halloween costumes, but during a recent trip to New York City, I stopped into the Goodwill on 23rd Street and saw this...

(Yes, some people go to the Statue of Liberty when they visit New York City.  I go to Goodwill.)

I've always wanted to try one of these.

And it was only $2!

I found the perfect pumpkin at the farm,

and got to work.

It was easy!

And the end result is...

Spooky

Can't wait to see what Lemons & Chambray found this month!

Next Month:  Thankful!

Mill Creek Farms

When I finally decided to leave New York City, I asked a friend if I could work for him on his farm.

He wrote back "Yes, you're hired!  We need you!".

The problem was, they couldn't actually pay me.

So, I got a "real" job.

But I still spend quite a bit of time here...

I'm so lucky!

Let Them Eat Cake

I love to bake, and have been waiting for an excuse to make this cake, as seen on Posie Gets Cozy.

Well, yesterday was my friend HP's birthday, so...

My cake

doesn't quite look like hers.

But, it was good!!!  (And very symbolic!)

HP owns a small farm...

with a Farmall tractor

and a pumpkin patch

some Indian corn

and a frog, rescued from my basement (ewww!)

The cake was delicious (even though I forgot to add the teaspoon of vanilla to the frosting), so why wait for an excuse?

Enjoy!
