Las Chicas et tortillas
Our friend Jasmine was on her way back to Mexico and decided to school us in authentic tortilla making. No measuring cups, no recipe, just 25 years experience of finding the right blend of masa, flour, and water. We laughed a lot, and maybe she was laughing at us. And although I can't really say my Spanish got any better, my tortilla making sure did! Thanks Yaz!!

Our First Real Snow
It's hard to believe that 5 days earlier it was 75 degrees. Both my kids inhaled their breakfast while I was out digging in the garage for their snow clothes. They were out the door by 8:15am and I didn't see them again until almost lunch. Be the end of the day we had accumulated 10 inches. Hopefully the snow thrower has gas......

One Last Hike
We got in one last hike before the snow fell 5 days later. We usually hike home from the falls a couple times in the summer, but we were so busy this year that this was actually our first time this season. It was fun to see the difference a year makes. Spencer made it the whole way (3 1/2 miles) without a complaint while taking good care of his little sister along the way. He told me it was because he has 5 year old legs now. Of course! Why didn't I think of that?

Yo...Birthday Boy!
Five. Cinco. Cinq. 5. Really? How did that happen?
I asked Spencer what he wanted for his birthday? And his calm and cool reply was "a snow leopard cake". Well here you have it. Martha Stewart I am not, but that cake is made with pure love. Happy Birthday buddy....I love you.

Chanterelles Baby!
So Paul says, "I am addicted to mushrooms" as he heads down the property with Sahalie and a brown paper bag in hand. I ask, "Why the HUGE paper bag?"
Paul says, "I'm hopeful".
Well, here's to being hopeful...three nights in a row of chanterelle feasts. Mushroom omelets, mushroom pizza, and mushroom barley soup. I love fall!
