Using A Gift Of Food

We were presented again today with the opportunity to save some money in the food department.  You won’t hear me complaining about that!

Yesterday Hubby offered his help to a local organization he’s involved with.  It was a bunch of hard-working men.  One of the men prepared lunch for them all — meatball sub sandwiches with plenty of mozarella cheese and venison salami.  Somehow hubby was chosen to bring home the leftovers: a large bag of cheese and a ziplock bag full of a hearty tomato-based sauce.  (Maybe they know he has four children.) 

At any rate, Joseph commented that it looked like a great start to pizza.  He was so right.  This afternoon I made enough pizza dough to make four large pizzas.  Oh they were good! 

While the pizzas cooked, I took little strolls outside.

You may be sick of seeing my Clara Curtis mums, but they draw in so many little flying creatures!  It’s like my own little science museum. 

It’s amazing how much the garden path has changed through the seasons. 

Just look at March compared to October!

The mums most definitely mark the end of the gardening season here in my little flower garden.  Oh I still get out and do things, and there will be things blooming, even a few things that bloom through winter, but for the most part the constant procession of blooms is coming to an end.

Just a couple more pictures of nothing but flowers, and some of them wild (North Carolina natives).  I just love it in the flower garden this time of year. 

The roses have been especially pretty lately.  I’m reminded that I need to do something with the few rosehips I have outside.

I added another picture to the sidebar.  It’s the walkway between beds 3 & 4. As always, it’s a large picture.  You can see it here.
