Chill wind is blowing outside my door and the aspen leaves are dancing in the glory of golden spangles. Life has been so very busy that I have hardly had time to take in the beauty, changing color and to breathe in this lovely fall weather.
So, today, I am putting aside duty and deadlines to sit and sip hot cider, to sit in my “cozy” chair and read a story and to celebrate a fall tea time with my sweet daughter, Sarah.
To not recognize this day and the beauty He has crafted for my soul is to not worship and be grateful and to notice His masterpieces.
And so today, I take time to breathe in the beauty, that I may adequately turn my heart of thanksgiving to Him who took the time to make it for my comfort.
What for tea time?
Knobby Apple Cake or
Squirrel Nutkin Cake, as Joy renamed it!
Have a lovely day with Sarah!
Hope to try your cake soon! 
Yum! I have to try this. So happy to hear you having a lovely day to be still awhile. Otherwise autumn will have passed without a moment of awe and wonder.
Hehehe, some of our recipes have unusual names, too. Stephanie used to call my No Peek Stew by the name Peek-a-boo Stew when she was a preschooler. That is how it is known all these years later.
Oh fun the kids will love to try the “Nutkin” cake! Thanks for the inspiration to enjoy fall.
We adore hot apple cider on crisp autumn days! Enjoy yours today. And thanks for the cake recipe…it sounds delicious! xo
Would anyone be able to send me your favorite fall recipe? I LOVE trying out new recipes! Let me know when you use them, either a thanksgiving tradition etc…I also love adding on more family traditions! Thank you!
Quick question…is the extra 1/2 cup already included in your measurement? I am not high altitude. Thanks!
