An Autumn Saturday

We woke up to another cool day here today. I turned the furnace on and set it to 23.5C yesterday. I needed to warm it up as I was . minding the dampness. Today it feels much better, and the sun is shining on and off which makes a real difference. I was up and out for groceries early. I have some broccoli soup on the stove currently. We will have some with deli meats on whole wheat wraps for lunch together. I do not think that I will need to cook supper. We are going to a friend's birthday party late this afternoon, which will have lots of goodies to eat. I was asked to bring cherry cheesecake dip with graham crackers. Yummy. What's on your agenda for this Saturday? ~Photo is mine

I am so glad you feel better and the sun shines. It rained all day here. I woke up with a headache, but it went away without the need of pain killers. The Cherry cheesecake must be delicious

@LadyDuck I thought of you at the party last evening. One of the younger parents made a Swiss roll cake. It was purple, as that is Melody's favorite colour. It was only the third time that she made it and she did a wonderful job.

@Juliaacv - The sciatic nerve is very painful, as well as the piriformis nerve, I hope the sun will help to heal quickly. I am not a fan of cakes with cherries, I like simple cakes usually. Chocolates are always a nice present.

I love that photo, I wish I had a tree here that turned colors like the bright reddish one on the background. I'm so glad it's still warm enough here not to need a heater yet. As soon as my motivation shows up I'm going to make a tater soup.

Sounds beautiful, I wish we had more trees here but that would change our desert to something else and I really like this desert I'm in.

@rebelann It is the warm days and the cool nights that cause the leaves to change colour.

Thank you, it is so bright and colourful here right now. I was admiring the beauty of the many trees as I drove home from the grocery store this morning. Our city is nicknamed the 'Forest City' and we have alot of tree cover. We really only need the heat on occasionally at night here. I made soup this morning and with the stove being on and the sun being out it heated up to 25C inside, we shut off the furnace and opened a window. Have fun making your soup later on.

It sounds like you have a lovely day in store. I’m just catching up on things I normally would have done yesterday while I was at my sister’s. Honestly, I’m shocked I slept so long this morning. I never do that.

I'm happy for you that you slept late. I was up super early because my slipped disc is bothering my sciatic nerve and I was uncomfortable and thought I should get up and allow my hubs to get some peaceful sleep.

We ordered Chinese on Thursday night. There is a new Asian grocery store not far from here and our son went just before supper one day last week and he told me that they had a hot food case, and he got enough for the 4 of them, and he said it was really quite good, and much more reasonable than the restaurant. Enjoy the Chinese later on.

@Juliaacv Thanks I never shopped in an Asian store, but I think it would be enlightening. BTW, how is your potential cold have you tried echinacea?

@snowy22315 Well I can tell you that they have a huge selection of fresh fish and seafood and lots of premade, frozen spring rolls. I picked some spring rolls up there and we have them on occasion for a meal.

I hope that they fix it. It was a cherry cheesecake dip, just 3 ingredients, and it went over so well.

I am not a fan of the cherry cheesecake dip, it is too rich for my taste, but the lady having the birthday party asked me to bring it as she loves it. We will have alot of Philippine food at the party.

That seems to be a great fun day. I will be running the weekend chores and have a couple of them as the month end is approaching. Got few things from the grocery in the evening. Had to purchase a few other things and had food cooked at home. Was learning a few thigs online and well also working on my website and both these activities were time taking. I also had to make plans for the week as it is going to be a busy week and lot of acivities to be completed as well. I did miss a few parties last week and do not think there is one anytime soon. You have a great time ahead!

You have a busy weekend. We had a great time at the party. We always leave her place so full, we all brought something and had more than enough food. Today I will go to our son's place and watch the twins while our son and his wife straighten up the garage as they have to bring in the girl's outdoor summer toys to store until spring.

It was a great party. The host has a smoker, and he is really good at doing brisket and ribs on it. I ate far too much tonight.

Broccoli is my favorite veggies. I'll bet the soup was delicious. I'm glad you're feeling better. Cherry cheesecake dip sounds yummy too. Yesterday I was really tired and slept in bits and pieces. Every once and a while I catch up on my lack of sleep. Today we will go visit my hubby. Have a good day.
