By the Hearth on Sunday: Savoring the Autumn Season

Maria (Angie) B.

By the Hearth on Sunday is my little time to just share…anything. From things I am loving to things that catch my attention. Because somedays life does not fit into a perfect little bucket. I hope you come along and also share some of the things filling your cup.

Things I am Thankful For

  • Silent mornings in the word by the fire, while cuddling the doggie

  • 15-minute walk breaks

  • A healthcare professional FINALLY giving me answers

  • The support of my husband

  • Choosing new flooring for the casa and getting rid of the ugly nasty carpet. Y’all have no idea how I could cry as I write this. It’s finally happening! LOL.

  • Last but not least— AUTUMN! Here in Minnesota, it was a slow go at first, probably because of the drought we had, and then last week… boom! And I have to say that this is the most brilliant autumn since I moved here 8 years ago.

Books I am Reading

  • Flowers of Provence by Jamie Beck

  • The Ranch Table by Elizabeth Poett

Things I am Not Loving

  • Winter has arrived to my part of Minnesota

  • I am questioning my life choices of all the tropical plants I had in the front porch. Now that they need to come in, I do not have space for them! My office looks like a jungle.

  • My Wheaten Terrier, Riley, turning 10 years old. Where did time go?

Food I am Loving

  • Nutella Babka— I tried making this for the first time and fell in love with it. Recipe coming soon.

  • Homemade No-Knead Bread— when the temperatures drop, I want to bake all the bread.

  • Homemade Apple Sauce— having an apple orchard on my way to and from work, is wonderful, and I have been able to get freshly picked apples of many varieties. And nothing beats sugarless homemade apple sauce. Ripe apples will make sure your apple sauce is sweet and delicious.
