Now that Cole is feeling better wouldn't you know it - Nikki was next to get the local fever/cold "bug" passing around the swim team kids. She's resting and recovering with lots of homemade soup and herbal tea and hopefully will feel better soon. After a long night up with Nikki and a morning spent with Cole, his little mind enjoying Geometry and discovering something new - solving for X (how exciting learning can be when you're 9 ), this tired mama really needed a little afternoon Apple Pie pick-me-up, which I must say was well worth the effort...
Isn't it funny how the simple comforts of the season are sometimes exactly what we need?
For now it's back to making more soup.... in between I cram the demands of the day and just a little knitting as I watch the snowflakes lightly fall outside my kitchen window this chilly November Thursday. Fall is nearly over here, just a few lone leaves cling to the trees - and I realize how quickly the seasons pass by and with that I try to remember tomorrow is new day - until then I'll enjoy pie :-)
Oh, wow! That pie looks delicious. I wish I could bake one like that, but Mike is the pieman around here. I can bake cakes really good though;) Hope everyone is on the mend. The bug made its way through everyone here, too (even little Violet), but I think we'll all survive.
