MarkGetSetGO!

After the lazy days of summer, fall sure knows how to kick it into gear... Between Pinocchio rehearsals (Winona), gymnastics classes (Jez), quilting classes (Julie), Halloween festivities (all), and trying to keep good food on the table, we're going to work and school and getting sleep where we can get it!


It's possible that it's all making us a little crazy. 

In an effort to balance life with only half of my thyroid, I'm finding that gluten has to go. I've done lots of research and experimenting and I can't deny it, so I'm diving into Gluten Free living, and feeling a huge change... It's a lot of time in the kitchen, but sometimes it really pays off in spades. This GF pumpkin pie with a coconut almond crust was one of the best desserts I've ever made/tasted!  

Lots of rice and veggies: delicatas stuffed with wild rice with nuts, pomegranate seeds, olives, celery, etc. pictured here. I took this picture to send to my friend who made us the beautiful handblown glass pumpkin! 
                                                 

 My Rotary Club hosts a Dia de los Muertos party at a couple of schools every year-- Winnie was my date this past week; the whole family will go to the one this coming week. No pictures, but Jez and I went to the Y Halloween Party last night (she was a ballerina; I was a gypsy) and had a great time... let the spooky festivities begin!! 

Today was my third and final quilting class. Here's the "top"-- still have to finish it, but I'm really glad to be learning these skills. I've been a bit of a "guerrilla" sewer-- making stuff up as I go along. This has been a good lesson in learning how to do things properly... and taking the time to do so. :)

Here's what I, Bodhi, have been doing. Fall is cold.

And we're taking great joy in the nights we have when all we have to do is this...

So Far From February

 The idea of "catching up" on this blog has been far too daunting... and paralyzed me for far too long! So, with many gaps in ...
