Well now we are starting to get the tale tale signs of Fall. The little trees in the fence rows are turning orange and red and that never happens till the first of October or late September at the earliest. Makes me wonder if we are going to have an early winter too.
Here are some shots of life here in the MO Zone this month.
My brother Sam planted a bunch of seeds I bought a couple of years ago. Well the grew!
I can't wait. I can smell baked squash with butter and salt, pumpkin custard, pie, bread, and muffins. I think our skin is going to turn orange from all the pupkinness that is going to happen around here.
The garden as also yielded a bumper crop of Zucchini this Summer, as usual, so I looked up some recipes and made a tasty zucchini quiche. I used Joyful Adobe's recipe and added some onion and ham.
We have had the most rain this summer that I can remember in 20 years. This is a picture that my 10 year old daughter took after a big storm last week.
With all the rain this year it has been the year of Frog and Toad. We have seen at least 100 of these this summer. Who knows how many we didn't see around the house.
This is another of Caroline's photographs.
School started this month too.
Isn't that Cherry Red truck of my neighbor's the sweetest ride ever! He used to have it painted yellow with purple trim. It looked pretty fabulous then but now I have to admit that my heart skips a beat when I see that truck.
With school back in full swing come early breakfasts and home lunches. These are our favorite breakfast muffins. They are banana oatmeal muffins. They are super tasty and they fill you up. We have set a breakfast schedule for the week to help cut down on the chaos in the morning. I have a hard time thinking of what to fix and so now each day of the week has an assigned breakfast to help us cope with the morning rush. Muffins is one of them. I will have to post the schedule for you and the recipes that go with it. There are several things that I bake and freeze in advance to make the week run smoothly. It is really helping us get a good start to the day and get on our way on time.

Oh, please post your breakfast plan! Breakfast is the meal I struggle with for the family.
I've been following your blog for a while now and love all of the great posts!
What great photos. Our weather here in Crete has been a lot cooler aswell. August is usually red hot and we had rain in July. Think the world is a bit mixed up. The pumpkins look great I grew some but not as many as that.
Those breakfast muffins look yummy, must have a go at making those.
Thank you!
I will post the Breakfast plan next week. I have some baking to do and need to get a battery for my camera and I can post pictures and recipes to make breakfast for the busy mom a snap.
Love the pumpkin picture. Nice time of year isn't it.
Our neighbor had a 1955 red and white corvet convertable. Man was it sweet. Good things came about in 1955.
These pictures are fabulous! They make me super homesick for anything green. I look forward to the day we live somewhere in the country and are surrounded by beauty, as you are.
