I think doing more baking is a sure sign of Fall and cooler days. I had bananas that were very ripe and needed using so when we came home from our walk I mixed up a batch of Chocolate Chip Banana muffins adding cocoa to make them even better!!
While on our walk I noticed a tree which is blooming now. I'm not good at identifying trees and would like to know what this one is. DH broke off a twig and we brought it home but I didn't manage to find out anything from my book on B.C. trees and flowers. The tree is quite large. If I remember I'll take a picture of it tomorrow.
When Shannon was over on Thursday we took a stroll around the back garden and she noticed a grasshopper. She sent me the picture of it ( we don't see many grasshoppers here in town.)
Thanks for visiting
Lovely illustration. Cute grasshopper. Your muffins look delicious 😋
ReplyDeleteChocolate makes everything better. :-)
ReplyDeleteYour tree might be a white Crape Myrtle.
I do enjoy your baking photos. I have cut back on baking because it's just not good for my diabetic hubby, but I sure miss it!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say that tree might be a Crape Myrtle.’ Life is delightfully slow’….lovely!!! Enjoy your day, Virginia
ReplyDeleteOh my those muffins look delicious, I'd love to have one.
ReplyDeleteSorry can't help with in identification.
Forgot to answer your question, what is the blue thing by the cabin. It's a water tank. Collected rain water.
DeleteLife is delightfully slow - I love this sentence!!! I always feel inspired following your fine activities, decorating your house, baking delicious cakes and muffins and looking full of feeling after the flowers in your beautiful garden or on other places . The hay-hopper is precious!
ReplyDeleteI'm with the other commenters, admiring the phrase 'delightfully slow'.
ReplyDeleteThe close up of the grasshopper is amazing. I never realised they had those bright green markings.
Banana and chocolate goes well together
ReplyDeleteAnd are delicious. I love grasshoppers but nowadays even in the country we don’t see them anymore.
I could always use a few muffins!
ReplyDeleteYour muffins look delish! The twig from the tree is pretty! Sorry I haven't been reading blogs lately...hubby had triple bypass and can't seem to get much better....first he had fluid retention and now low blood pressure. Oh dear, what next? diane in northern wis
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look awesome!
ReplyDeleteI thought I left you a comment yesterday, but I don't see it, so will try again. Your muffins look delicious and I like that branch from the tree. Haven't been on blogs much lately, as my husband had open heart surgery. He seems to be slowly recovering...thank the Lord. Thanks Granny for your always great posts!
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking muffins. I, too, like the phrase "delightfully slow".
