Eggs Benedict

Our bed and breakfast hosts served us Eggs Benedict on Saturday morning, proceeded by yogurt and fresh fruit, smoothie and tea. Needless to say, we didn't have any room for the chocolate caramel pie they offered us at the end of breakfast.

Garden

I picked and ate the last cherry tomato yesterday. Most of my zinnias are frosted, but my raspberries are still producing delicious fruit.

Harvest party

Last week we had our annual harvest party. The weather was quite cool, but we still ended up with some ninety people for freshly pressed apple cider, a potluck and hayride.

Internet

After twelve days, four service visits by the technician, a cable strung across my yard and an extension cord running from my living room to my office, my internet is restored.
