I just finished killing the fatted pumpkin today and decided to share this oldie but goodie post from the past. If you have never tasted fresh pumpkin you don’t know what you’re missing — it’s different from canned. I’ve also added this post to the Sugar and Spice Link Party.

Apple Pickin’
Bob and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary today. Believe it or not, over the last 25 years driving as far as 60 miles to an orchard to buy apples has more than once been our anniversary celebration.
Have you ever been to an orchard where apples are grown? Check to see if there is an orchard that sells direct to the public in your area. Whether you pick your own or buy already picked this a good way to teach children about where their food comes from.
But the best part is eating the apples. Buy a box or two and make applesauce, your favorite apple cake or pie or how about freezing some apple slices for pie later? Don’t forget a plain old fresh apple makes a great healthy dessert or snack.

Thought for Today
Whoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything come in season.
—Heraklietos of Ephesos
Thought for Today
“Avoid the bad habit of domesticating the prophet of your choice, turning him into a cheerleader for your way of thinking and way of life. Remember that all the great prophets were courageous and outrageous folks who railed against the powers-that-be, challenged self-satisfied piosity, threatened the prevailing social order, and would find you falling short in some significant ways.” — Parker J. Palmer
