not quite warm enough to enjoy it, but i did get the kitchen window on the outside washed at last. it had been looking rather bad since a few months ago when the box elder bugs were swarming on it and leaving behind their ick. on top of that knowing that harvest of the fields across the road...

i'll always fondly remember my one aunt who made miniature pecan pies (i guess they would be called tarts even if they weren't tart at all). they were about about 4cm across and very yummy. she also made some soft cookies that were rolled in crushed pecans and a maraschino cherry half stuck in...
