These last few weeks have been the most peaceful of my life, not that they have been problem free-but amidst the difficulties, peace. As strange as it may sound, I believe this to be the result of people praying for me.
One of the highlights of the week is related to this blog. As you probably remember, I was involved in a vehicle fire over a year ago and one of the casualties was all of the pictures from my travels and adventures (I prefer this explanation for the last couple years of my life) anyway, as it turns out the pictures I posted on this blog I was able to retrieve. There weren't many of them, but they are most welcome. Considering that I thought all of them lost, twenty is quite a find.
In the meantime, my van-affectionately called the Turtle, is limping along and in dire need of multiple repairs or replacement. The Turtle did not consult with me or my budget, so I am now grounded. It could be worse, my home is comfy and I have what I need, I just can't get very far.
As the back porch receives its finishing touches and the front porch awaits its first, things continue to move along at a snail's pace. It's all good, since I really can't go anywhere anyway and besides, it's finally raining and what could be better than being warm, safe and dry? Perhaps someone to keep me company...

Baking In The Fall
The heater turned on for the first time yesterday, and although a warm weekend is predicted, the autumn has arrived. My tomato plant has one small fruit and I wonder if it will ripen before it frosts?
The summer here in Colorado Springs has been quite pleasant and I freely admit that I did not miss the scorching summers of California. We had some very hot days, but the house stayed cool with the doors and windows closed and the evenings always cooled off comfortably. I really enjoyed sitting on the back porch looking at the stars before going to bed.
The fall seems to require baking, and I have a batch of brownies cooling on the stove top. I probably shouldn't indulge this habit unless I'm having guests but there is something about baking that is just right. Perhaps you should come over for a cuppa and a brownie?
