Over Or Under The Weather, Not Sure Which

Things have been kind of quiet around here. It's nice to have days like that, a day you do very little, especially when you are feeling a little under the weather. It allows you time  to sit and reflect, do some reading, or meditation.

I almost feel as if I was on a vacation, but really I was just living my life, a little under the weather. 

I've been watching the leaves change a little more each day, however, this year they seem to be taking a little longer. I'm thinking it's the warmer fall we are experiencing this year. This is the path that I walk just about everyday. It's so beautiful,  it has a mixture of small saplings from different varieties of trees. They are growing at a fast pace, just 2 years ago they looked like weeds.  Their leaves are vibrant and full.

I haven't done a ton of cooking the last few days, I've been mostly using the crock pot for meals. I love using the slow cooker, you can make quite a bit of food at a time, and have left overs for a few days. Meal time, can be a challenge around here, some of us are vegetarian,  and some are not, some do intermittent fasting, some eat 3 meals a day. I take it all with a grain of salt... no pun intended.  But really, meals are interesting . One thing I do try to accomplish for everyone, and that is to stick to a clean diet. I try to keep everything healthy and made from scratch. Our grocery bill is very cheap. We have a garden, raise animals ducks, chicken and rabbits,  and some of our family hunts for their food. We used to be a lot more self-sufficient than we are now, but we just don't have as many mouths to feed as we once did, therfore their is no need to have a ton of livestock. Plus, with the vegetarian factor, it really isn't necessary.  Our animals are mainly our pets now, and we use their waste to fertilize our ground.  

I hope everyone is having a fantastic fall. I hope you find the time to get out and smell and see the leaves changing. 

Blessing,
