I've got split pea soup with Smoked ham hocks in the slow cooker, and a Winter Spice vanilla latte made with Twining's tea to sip on. Yum!

What are you up to on this snowy afternoon?

I just got my copy today of "Gathered". Does anyone else have this?

Is anyone using iNaturalist that wants to follow each other? I'm just getting into using it more, and don't have any friends on there yet. I thought it might also help for identification of observations.

My user name is: jen_r3

Thanks!

Getting the rust off, playing 9 ball pool ... Scott has "won" though he wasn't shooting well until, of course, the 9 ball.

Feels like 2 weeks in the dog house for him ........ 😂

34°, morning coffee in a cabin on the river, and a Fronie girl. What more could we want?

What I didn't expect when coming to Grayling for a fall getaway - was peak colors! It's 47 degrees F, raining / sun on and off, and absolutely beautiful. We had a nice hike enjoying the colors. Tomorrow, we'll forage some things to make tea.

This is going in the oven for dinner. It's a great healthy autumn dinner - Roasted Chicken and Acorn Squash with Sumac Brown Butter. It's pretty, too!

The new porch remodel is *almost* done. We ran out of balusters today, so the very end piece (not shown) will be finished this week.

Mew lights have been installed on the porch & garage.

We're old and sore, now. I can feel every bend I did all day, LOL :) Sigh.

Foraging autumn olive this afternoon from the end of our rental cabin driveway. It was sunny and breezy, and you can hear the wind. But such a pretty day!

Dessert and cocktails coming soon...

Dinner tonight at The Boathouse in Traverse City, MI. They never disappoint. Locally sourced and ethical, as well as amazing flavor. The circled items are what we had, along with a Sancerre and wonderful views of Lake Michigan!

The wildlife sightings have been amazing this trip. Today, while hiking, I saw a large brownish blur fly a short distance in the trees, silent as can be. I said to Scott "I wonder if hawks have the silent feather "design" like owls ... and he said he wasn't sure, but that he loves owls ...

Porcupine we saw in the woods that wasn't too sure about us - it kept pausing to look back as it waddled away :) So cute 🦔

Progress on the porch project! Decking & new step are in. Tomorrow will be the rails and balusters. We've got to make trim for around the uprights, and at some point, bleach that concrete sidewalk ... glider has to go, too.

Look at that sweet Fronie puppy ❤️

Hubs found some Hypsizygus ulmarius (elm oyster) on this lunch walk - I must have trained him right! 🤣🤣

Homemade Mushroom Bouillon!

Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporous sulpherous) mushroom "chicken" bouillon. It's the perfect time to harvest some COW, dehydrate, and turn it into "chicken" bouillon! 🧵1/2
