As many of you know I love love love to garden and I also love to pick fresh goodness from it for a quick lunch!!! I just picked these goodies and whipped up a super quick salad....and thought I would share one of my favorite dressings! Some olive oil, wine vinegar, finely rasp grated garlic, old fashioned grainy dijon mustard and salt and pepper!!!! So good on any salad and also amazing on grilled veggies!!!

I read this poem every Remembrance day.....
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Have an amazing night and I can't wait to share more with you all!!!

We had our Family join us at our cottage this past weekend for Thanksgiving and the scenery was truly spectacular!!!! I find that Autumn is the most wonderful Season filled with God's personal paintings and when winter comes he starts a new canvas!!!
Hope you enjoy these amazing photos ...yet I don't think they can do any justice to seeing them in person!!! What a wonderful world we live in....
I am leaving you today with one challenge.....to spend the next week seeing everything through your eyes as though you were a child....like everything is new again and I know you will see so much more in your daily lives!!!!
Have an amazing night and I can't wait to share more with you all!!!
