Corn Chowder and Apple Betty Pie

Very cold this morning.  In the 30s.

Nothing stops the Rebel from rolling in the mud.

I could really feel the change in the weather....even wore a hat.

When I got back to the house I picked a few of the remaining flowers in case it started to snow.

Then I got in my domestic groove and started cooking.

First I made corn chowder.

After that I made an Apple Betty Pie.  Ironically, I made one last year on this day and was motivated to make another one.  I started with a splash of orange juice on the apples.

Then I mixed apples, craisins, walnuts and a crumbly topping

and dumped it into the pie crust.

I love the way it looks without a top.

So simple....can't wait to taste it.

Little Wonder and I took it easy in front of the fire and watched a movie this afternoon.

By late afternoon the sun was blasting into the house.

The flowers that I picked earlier suddenly looked very different.

They were all perked up and full of life.

By the time I went out to do evening chores it was very dreary.

Dinner was delicious.

Night all.
