This morning, we had a beautiful day, rising and shining :) a Hint of Fall Season Weather, with the temperatures in the 50's here :) a wonderful cool morning :) a very special friday tradition i love very much, is wishing my family, Holly, and friends a happy baking friday, and i share with my family and Holly, your sweet happy baking friday wishes :) awww! :) Thank you angel friends, so very much! :) You all are very nice, and sweet :) We've been looking forward to our super fun baking friday adventure :) our first adventure of September :) i was up early this morning ,enjoying some nice time here on DS, writing to friends, and getting ready for my early morning nature walk :) we noticed the sun's position in the sky, is much different, than it was a month ago, in our kitchen window, it's rising more to the right side of our window, which is sign of fall season approaching :) i gathered a big bowl of goodies, and went outside into the golden september sunrise sunshine, for my nature walk :) as soon as i went outside, i noticed the very cooler weather, it feels September crisp and cool :) it was in the low 50's this morning, very refreshing cool air :) i love seeing the sunrise sunshine glowing upon our trees :) it's a wonderful time of the year, as fall season approaches :) i heard lots of bluejays around our neighborhood :) They visit more, during this time of the year :) i put lots of goodies in our backyard, bird sanctuary area for our nature friends :) They love their baking friday breakfast feasts :) awww! :)

Our plants are doing well :) We have lots of tomatoes ripening, peppers growing, and popcorn cobs that will be ready to harvest later on this month :) our flowers, roses, morning glory flowers, marigolds, snowball bush flowers, zinnia's, cosmos, sunflowers, and lots more flowers, are glowing all around :) We love our beautiful flowers, and garden :) We're enjoying these golden days of the gardening season, lots of nice harvesting :) Pear Tree update. during the evening yesterday, my dad and i worked on helping our pear tee, that began to uproot, and was leaning. We cut some heavy brances off the tree, that were full of pears, and my dad and i used rope, to brace our pear tree with our granny smith apple tree that's next to it, and we then used a step ladder, to help brace the trunk of the tree. the tree is straighter. We're going to fill some soil into the area where the tree was uprooting, and we're gonna put some bags of garden rocks on top of the soil, to help stabilize the tree's roots. we were very surprised, to see the tree leaning yesterday. the heavy rain, along with gusty winds, and weight of the pears, made the tree lean. We're hoping the tree will be ok, it's alive, and looks ok, we'll definitely continue to give the tree, extra care, and hoping the tree will continue to be alright :) i'll keep everyone updated :) our snowball bush was glowing this morning, from the sunshine ,it was so neat to see :) a wonderful nature start to the day :)

It was a sweet spirited September morning :) we enjoyed our breakfast, and had some water, hot tea, iced coffee, and gatorade :) i began to gather our baking friday supplies, and decorations, and went out into our kitchen ,to begin setting up and decorating our kitchen, for our super fun adventure :) it's so much fun decorating :) Today, i decorated with a happy september, and countdown to fall season theme :) our kitchen looked great! :) Some of our baking friday supplies today, are from our fruit trees :) we're using some of our apples, to bake today's apple cinnamon muffins :) we love using fruits, and vegetables from our garden,to bake and cook :) as the morning was going on, we put some sports radio on, lots of football talk, with the upcoming football season :) We enjoyed another nature walk around late morning :) around mid-day, we enjoyed a nice lunch :) i cooked butternut squash, and drizzled some melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon top of the squash, and baked i tin the oven with some sweet potatoes, and a regular potato :) lunch was delicious! :) during the early afternoon, i enjoyed some nice time here on DS, writing to friends :)

Around 3pm, my mom and dad picked the kids up from school, they are helping Alyssa and Aj, with their work schedules, they help pick up the kids for them :) Jenn and Mikey, Hunter, and Carter came over too :) it's definitely a really good step forward to everyone :) The kids are doing great, with their first week of school, and adapting to the new school year :)We're very proud of the kids :) They've been very excited, for the arrival of friday and the weekend's :)During the school year, friday afternoon, and the weekend's are a treasure to them, as they get to bake on friday, and then playing their favorite video games, and watching their shows during the weekend :) We were all gathering in our kitchen, the kids love to select their sports at the kitchen counter :) We all got our picture taken in the kitchen :) it's a cool baking friday tradition :) Each week, we love to use our baking friday supplies we've recieved from family and friends over the years :) i wear my nice apron, that Holly gave me, and we use our nice oven mits, kitchen towels, and all of our supplies, are a big part of our baking and cooking each week :) Our kitchen was all set, and we were ready to bake some awesome goodies! :) Calling all cookie monsters! :) Cookie monsters unite! :) it's time to bake! bake! bake! :)

We super stirred the chocolate chip cookie ingredients :) Hunter was having some small cookies, that my mom gave him, and he said, he wanted to bake a triple mega cookie, by putting cookie dough around the small cookies, he's very creative :)i said, "Hunter, this is a cool new invention ,the triple mega cookie" :) he was so proud : )we made a big batch of the chocolate chip cookies dough, and i used butter to grease the baking pans, and we put the cookies onto the pans, and i put the cookies into the oven to bake :) We did some cleaning up in the kitchen :) the kids were coming back and forth, from the kitchen and living room :) Mikey came out into the kitchen, with Taylynn, and my mom came out into the kitchen, Jenn came out too, and she was giving Hunter a hi five for invention the triple mega cookie : )Things were cool :) Holly and i, and us all were doing well, Kayla was in her addition.

As the chocolate chip cookies were baking, we began to prepare the apple cinnamon muffins :) Earlier, i washed, and sliced 2 apples, from our fruit tree, and we boiled the apples, with cinnamon, and sugar :) our kitchen smelled great :) For the apple muffins, we used the apples once they were cooked nicely, with some of the water from the cooking pot, plus we used flour, sugar, brown sugar, 1 egg, and a half cup of milk :) We super stirred the apple muffins mix, and then used butter to grease the muffins baking pan, and we then added the muffins mix into the pans :) we made a total of 9 apple muffins to bake :) the chocolate chop cookies finished baking, we brought them out of the oven to cool down, and put the apple cinnamon muffins into the oven to bake :) once the cookies cooled down, i took a picture of the cookies ,and then we all began to dig in :) the cookies came out great! :)

While the apple cinnamon muffins were baking, Alyssa came over afterwork, and my mom, Jenn, and Carter were sitting outside :) the muffins finished baking :) i brought the muffins out of the oven, they smell really good :) we love the scent of apples and cinnamon :) There was a sweet moment, later on, when i began to write our baking friday journal, my mom was at the top of the stairs, door, and said, "Chris, Carter wants to see you", so i walked over to the hallway, and there was my mom, Jenn, and Carter was holding something , 3 peppers, from our garden, and Jenn said, "Carter thinks he's in trouble", awww! :) i said, "awww, no, it's all good, Carter picked some peppers for us, and he smiled" :) i came back downstairs, and i got a jar of pickled banana peppers, and i brought it upstairs, i said, "Carter, this is for you and family", and gave them the jar of peppers :) it was a sweet moment, Carter was smiling big :) These moments like this, are really big for all of us :) Holly and i are so happy we could give them a jar of pickled banana peppers :)
