This and That






                 Touches of Fall have been appearing early this year in our home.





Morning Glories that grew from seed dropped last year have covered the post near the water hose.



DH helped me and together we made muffins... Bakewell and Morning Glory Muffins. The recipe for the Bakewell muffins is on The English Kitchen blog. She has a handy search bar so one can look up any recipe. The Morning Glory muffins are your basic carrot muffins with the addition of grated apple to add moistness. DH grated the carrots and apples for me which I appreciated. I tend to grate my knuckles too.


Last of all, here is my latest addition to my family of 'stuffies'. She's not Fall-ish but so cute I, of course, couldn't resist her. 


Thanks for stopping by,

  3. The fall arrangement on your table is absolutely stunning, as is the basket one! Just lovely!

    And aren't those Bakewell muffins SO yummy? I can't make those too often here because we like them way too well. :-) I've made the morning glory muffins also and they are good...but my favorite would be the Bakewell ones. :)

  8. And you have beautiful morning glories from seen that dropped last year. I sowed morning glory seeds this spring and you should see the pitiful little vine that grew.It has two pitiful little flowers. Maybe I will do a post on the ugliest flower bed. Nothing I planted, grew in the new bed. Your new bear is so cute!

  10. Morning glories always remind me of my mom. She loved them; I've never had a lot of luck growing them. ;)
    Yummy muffins! Enjoy your fall decorating. Summer went fast!

  12. I have yet to make a Bakewell Tart, but I just watched a video of how to do it, and the man made it seem very easy, even if you do add too much water to the pastry, etc etc. He didn't do a very tidy job with any of it, actually! ;-) Maybe I will be more likely to think of it now, when I want to make something nice.

    I certainly would eat a tart or muffin or anything Bakewell if someone handed it to me. My daughter and I drove through the town of Bakewell when we were in England and that surely would have been the place to partake ! but I hadn't even heard of the dessert at that point.
