October!

It's the first day of October ... a gorgeous, sunny, cool day with the mountains sharply outlined against the blue Virginia sky. We are looking forward to a busy weekend with family as we celebrate SWAC Daughter's birthday and autumn and dancing with the mountains. SWAC Niece is coming to visit!

SWAC Husband stacked wood on the back porch preparing for this weekend's first cold snap if the forecast predicting overnight lows in the 30s holds up. I'm heading into the kitchen to get the chili pot going and to peel apples for homemade apple pies, to marinate chicken tenders and wash up asparagus and baking potatoes to throw on the grill.


It's autumn in the Shenandoah Valley....
