finally friday

One week down posting every single day, maybe this won't be so bad? Doubtful. Now get ready for the photo-dump version of finally friday.

1. First snowfall of the season happened on Tuesday. Nothing too impressive, but it did hang around a lot longer than I expected, we still have a dusting in our backyard.

 2. It has been unusually cold this week, however we have managed to survive without turning the furnace on by just moving the space heater from room to room. This is making the puppies become even better friends.

 

3. I've made these three times already this fall. Once stuffed with the caramels, once with caramel pieces stirred in, and once with a pumpkin-caramel sauce drizzled on top. All three ways they were delicious. Perhaps it's because the recipe is just that good, or because my baking skills are so stellar, or perhaps it's just because I have put in almost twice as much pumpkin puree as called for each time, but these cookies have been deliciously moist each time.

4. I did in fact end up going to the Como Zoo yesterday. I haven't been in years and I'm not quite sure why. I had a great time spying on the various animals. The lions even started to wrestle and the male let out a small "roar." That was a little too exciting, I'll probably be having nightmares about it soon.

 

5.Besides one pesky Gopher football game, this weekend is officially plan-free. And that's just how I like it. There is of course the never ending to- do list around the house, and I'm sure we'll get a few things crossed off, but I'm not letting that bring me down on a Friday afternoon. Right now I'm just soaking up the fact that I have a 3 day weekend ahead of me with almost no obligations. Perfect.
