Baby Clay around age 2.
Can't believe he's headed to kindergarten this week!
This week's Homekeeper's Journal is all about thoughts of Autumn.
Autumn in my kitchen means ……. A crockpot of chili using local, grass-fed beef. Then settling down to the table for a bowl of chili topped with sour cream and shredded raw cheddar cheese with homemade cornbread on the side.
Autumn in my home brings …….My birthday!
I bring Autumn indoors by ……..Incorporating items from nature - pine cones, bare branches, colorful leaves, pumpkins, gourds, Indian corn. Also decorating with colors that bring to mind warmth - browns, reds, and oranges.
A few favorite Autumn activities for my family are …….The NC State Fair is an absolute MUST for us during Fall! I love the sights, the sounds, the FOOD! Funnel cakes - yum! We also enjoy heading out to one of the local farms to pick our pumpkins for carving.
Two favorite Autumn recipes are …….My Chili using local, grass-fed beef and Pumpkin Muffins with Cream Cheese (can substitute sweet potatoes - another Fall favorite!).
This Autumn I would like to ………Go apple picking!

I am so ready for fall/autumn. Can't wait to make chili, maybe even this weekend. I think it will at least not be in the 90s, with much lower humidities.
