The geese are flying south! Twice this week we have seen hundreds of geese in multiple v formations flying over our house headed for warmer weather! We pause our breakfast and watch in awe as they fly slowly climbing upward, the sunlight turning their white breasts golden. Honking fills the air and then as suddenly as they came, all is quiet and they have disappeared over the horizon. Awesome! Thanks to you for sharing your awesomeness here this week!

Cranberry Pear Sauce
Colorful and delicious Cranberry Pear Sauce will be a hit this holiday season! It is super quick and easy to make with no refined sugar. Its sweetness comes naturally from ripe pears and a touch of real maple syrup. It is a superb accompaniment to turkey and other poultry as well, as pork tenderloin or pork roast. Once you try this recipe, you’ll never look at store-bought cranberry sauce the same. What kind of pear to use? Bartletts hold their flavor but break down and become "saucy" when heated so they are a good choice for this recipe. They have a true “pear shape” with a large, rounded bottom half that tapers to a smaller curved neck with slender stem.

Rocky the Rescue Cat has a new hobby. He has taken to sitting on the arm of Wheels' chair in the evening to watch tv. Sitting very tall and straight, ears perked and eyes glued to the screen, he takes it all in. He prefers drama to action and cartoons to political commentary. It's funny to see and funnier to imagine what is going on in his brain. May you find new things to enrich your life during this stay-in-the-house season!

Working outside in beautiful sunshine and completing some painting projects that are set up in the garage. The wind cancelled plans to enjoy a walk in the woods. Great Plains "woods" do not compare to the extensive Ohio woods that often retain their beautiful fall foliage for many days. Here the wooded areas have trees that number in the dozens; leaves turn and are blown away sometimes the same day. But we get the gorgeous blue and ever changing sky that stretches to the horizon in every direction. Thanks for stopping by to share your awesome posts!
