now that I have access to the waffle maker, I keep wanting to make other things in it… and with the colder weather, I want warmer things to eat;-)…

I found a recipe online for an omelette, so I decided to give it a try…

it was simple, yay, which made me happy…

I did wonder about using three eggs, but decided that for this first time I would try to follow the directions, lol…

it had a breakfast sausage, but I just used half of it… it also called for red pepper, but I didn’t have any so used extra onion instead… and I used more or less the amount of cheese mentioned…

hmmmm, maybe I did change it quite a bit, oopsie…

as I poured the concoction into the waffle maker, I realized I had been right, two eggs would have been much better… there was some leaking at the edges…

it came out pretty good, but I think using less egg would have helped it cook better… so I am going to make it again tomorrow;-)…

yesterday, I set up pumpkins with lights in them, and put a witch’s hat on the larger one…

I filled a bowl with chocolate bars and set it by the door…

we had twenty kids, about average for our neighbourhood… this was a good number considering how cold it was… I was surprised at how quiet they were – many of them just rang the doorbell, lol…

two of them were from Sturgeon Heights collecting non-perishable items for Christmas hampers… last week there was a flyer in the mailbox advising they would be coming so I had gathered a few items to donate… made sure they got candy too;-)…

the house looked good with the ghost on the steps and pumpkins in the window;-)…

had a bit of fun tidying up the corner cupboard…

had to get out the step stool to reach the top shelf…

didn’t take too long and reminded me of how much tea I have up there, yikes…

now it is organized nicely, with the items I use least located on the top shelf…

happy that I got one of my little projects completed;-)..

Wednesday was a slow and bit of a downer day…

had a sore arm and felt kind of achy and just bleh… no doubt the result of the two needles in my arm the previous day…

wasn’t able to sleep and eventually spent time on the deck, wrapped in a blanket, reading…

even had a snack, which was a treat as I’ve been steering clear of extras for a while…

because it was another gorgeous day, our Monday gathering took place on the deck for one last time…

I moved the furniture, swept all the leaves off, cleaned the glass table, and put cushion covers on the chairs…

as I was sweeping the lower deck, it occurred to me that I could have used the leaf blower, lol… oh well, good exercise, lol…

and, we were treated to a freshly baked Bundt cake;-)… yum…

the sun shone and it did cool off a little, but we were very comfortable… what a treat in the middle of October…

had a great time on Monday, when I met with my BS buddies at the Park Cafe for a celebration lunch…

it was amazing because it was the birthday person’s birthday, lol… we don’t often have the celebration on their actual day…

we were there for a few hours…

the restaurant wasn’t too full, we had a lovely waitperson, the meal with very tasty, and we had lots of laughs and conversation (as always)…

these women have been my lifeline for over thirty-five years…

ordered a second arch a week or so ago when I noticed it was on sale for half price…

it arrived a few days ago and sat there staring at me, lol…

Wednesday afternoon, as the weather was nice, I finally spent the time to put it together… feel like a pro now, after the springtime attempt to put it together;-)…

my grandson managed to set it in place right next to the other one…

next year I will focus on beans, cucumbers, and peas, as well as a ton of morning glories to grow right over it;-)…

between the bits of rain yesterday, I went out and picked the last of the beans…

well, I think it was the last of them… I’ve thought that a few times, lol…

cut them and boiled them up for supper… they were delicious, even if they were a little on the overgrown side…

it has been rather cool in the mornings, so I have been watching a bit of tv as I eat my breakfast…

I had to put cushions over a piece of glass on the desk, because the sun was reflecting right into my eyes, lol…

made zucchini fritters with two lovely zucchinis I got from Jonathan’s Farm…

grated them and wrapped them in a towel to wring out extra moisture…

after they were mixed with egg, cheese, and breadcrumbs, added them to the waffle maker…

came out nicely, although they could have used a bit of flour, which I decided to leave out…

I will make these again;-)…
