HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
Woke this morn to hot house, opened all doors & windows to let in cool change . . . and I could smell smoke. From yesterday’s fires on Yorke Peninsula; one still dangerous. warnings for to “leave now” near Yorketown. Too early to assess but 3 houses gone. There were fires across the state, with Port Lincoln having power cuts to prevent wires causing more. Today NSW will be on high alert as weather moves east. PAT, have you heard from your friend?
After 45 years I have retired our 6-foot Xmas tree as it took too much time putting the 55 branchlets together & packing it away. I bought a small tree that is in 2 pieces. I can also decrease the decorations. I have offered some to Dau; must sort them before I see her again.
Last week instead of nanny duty Dau invited me to join her & Trio when after school they visited a miniature Xmas pageant. 60 floats with Xmas or nursery rhyme themes. Each of Trio chose their favourite & mummy took their photo with it. All made by volunteer, his 18th year, donations to charity.
Elves workshop featured lots of tiny toys – books, balls, bears, trains, skittles, sweets & more.

Annette: Here is some Indiana Pumpkin Ice Cream for you, to make you feel better. It's an autumn favorite. And...here is some Indiana Persimmon Pudding with Whipped Cream! Made with wild Indiana persimmons harvested in the autumn. It's divine.
Rural folks all have their secret wild persimmon tree in the woods, and they don't divulge the location to anyone. LOL
