Winter's Footsteps...

 Yesterday...
As I walked this chilly 

last-day-of-October morning..

and listened to the leaves fall...

 I remembered reading somewhere

a long time ago...

That the sound of falling leaves

are winter's footsteps...

This morning...I can believe it...

with temps. in the low 30s 

and the possibility of snow

in the forecast for Sunday...

Poor Joshua...

He's down at the salt pond

digging "seed" clams this chilly mornin'

This past Saturday...

While the men worked on

patching rust spots on Daniel's car...

Joanna and I had a lovely time together

making "pumpkin candies"...

These no-bake treats are so easy!

Thought I'd share the recipe with you

this chilly fall morning...

Use red koolaid instead and make apples!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup soft butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tsp. orange flavor koolaid
1/2 cup granulated sugar
mini pretzel sticks
a small amount of green frosting for leaves

(I just mixed some powdered sugar

 and milk together)

Combine butter and corn syrup together in a small bowl. Add 2 cups powdered sugar and koolaid and mix with beater. Stir in another cup of powdered sugar. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on a cutting board and knead mixture until smooth. Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in granulated sugar. Flatten gently with a fork. Gently press one pretzel stick into the top of the pumpkin while pressing up the bottom with a second pretzel stick. Repeat for all candies. Add a dab of green frosting for a leaf.
Let candies stand, uncovered, overnight and then store in a container.
