284/365 Onion Rings

Sometimes you get tired of counting grams of fibre and protein and just want some greasy onion rings! 

My stomach was mildly burning for about 6 hours. 

 283/365 Fall

 282/365 Hydrangeas

They have been cut and sent to the big compost at the back of the yard. So amazed with how long we enjoyed these beauties this summer. Until next June.....

 281/365 Meatballs

We made 98 of them but likely only about 50 will make it into the freezer. Between snacking and tonights supper they are disappearing quickly! 

 280/365 Squirrel

I have been watching this squirrel and his friends slowly store away the dark brown shiny nuts from the Ohio Buckeye in our front yard. They have been very busy retrieving the large leathery capsules from the tree, breaking them open to get the nuts and then carrying them to the backyard for storage.There are nut shells all over the driveway. I have found several of these hard dark nuts in my planters when cleaning them out. Silly squirrels. 

The nuts look very much like a chestnut. but they are VERY poisonous! 

I waited for the best morning light to get a photo of this fellow.

 275/365 Sweater

This is an Aunt Heather original handed down from the cousins. It was made for Tanis who is now 17 so probably made about 15 years ago. And it remains in perfect condition. I believe Emma is the fourth grandchild to wear it. Pretty sweet! Perhaps Ella (Tanis' baby sister) will wear it one day.
