I hope everyone had a wonderful October weekend! Mine started off with the chill in the air, some crafty mama time with friends, a smidge of homecoming time, and a Sunday of herbal work, going to the fleas, and some late afternoon tea party time!
The turnips were surprisingly easy to carve on Friday night, I think because mine was soft a little to start off. It was a glorious smell of pumpkins, turnips, and squash being carved amongst the laughter, mead and lovely release ceremony at the end of the evening. Our bonfire was a small candle but it was great to be in the company of such wonderful women as we prepare to move into the dark months of the year!
The boys and I decided also now that the days are getting shorter we wanted to do more late afternoon teas to plan out our learning time at home! We got down our mismatched China, made a pot of tea and sipped and enjoyed a fresh batch of lemon balm sugar leaves and apples. We flavored our tea with the lemon balm sugar- oh my so good- big thanks to Kristine for such a wonderful zine each month that we get to explore!
I am just starting to explore this lovely cookbook called Long Nights and Log Fires Warming Comfort Food for Family and Friends, that truly gets my taste buds and cuddle side all content- I am bookmarking my favorites to show hubby to make for us this fall/winter!
Here are a few pictures from the weekend- seriously there is nothing cuter than a clip on tie for tea! Be sure to check back after 5 for our last Monster Monday!
