How about the Potter County Fall this year? Amazing and I can not remember one like it in past years. We do need rain but it didn't happen. The winter should be filled with snow to make up the difference in lack of rain fall. I will not attempt to make that prediction. Mother Nature has a mind of her own. Let nature take the course for what ever reason.
I am lucky enough to get two beautiful falls. Potter County and North Carolina will extend the season for another couple weeks. By the end of November, I will be back in winter mode. How much I like snow and winter will be Part 3 of the Four Seasons.
My son flew to Buffalo, spent a few days enjoying the hills of Clara, Pa. We managed a rode trip to the Amish so my daughter could get apples, Cuba Cheese, Mak's Meat Shop and end the day with Red and Trudy Burgers! Always a must for those famous burgers when the boys are in town. One place they always wish they could go to is ................... tada.....................Harvey's Steak Subs. They were amazing and I can still see Mrs. Harvey making them on the grill. Such care in chopping the steak and onions. Then those rolls that they bought from down state! Finished by wrapping them in wax paper, twisting the ends to keep all that goodness of a roll, soft and moist. Wouldn't it be nice to have a Harvey's Steak Sub? Are ya hungry yet 😏
We then started on a mom and son road trip to NC. 12 hours of talking, stories and just silently enjoying the ride. The day we left Potter County the weather took a turn, cooler and rain. Perfect timing.
Since I have been here I have been using Cook'n by the Creek recipes daily. Why? Because that is what I do. Breakfast for supper which meant Buttermilk biscuits with sausage gravy. Today is sourdough Focaccia and sourdough bread. When going to visit I never leave home without my sourdough starter. You just never know who would like some or a lesson to learn the technique of sourdough and keeping the starter well fed and alive. Pass it On
Along comes my winter knitting projects. Very seldom do I knit for me. I had 3 hanks of orange/copper colored Alpaca yarn, just enough for a vest. It should be ready for Thanksgiving Day. The next project will be a Nordic sweater for my youngest son made with Lettlopi wool yarn from sheep raised in Iceland. Since he works outside this will be a comfortable outer garment instead of a bulky coat.
