Recipe for Autumn Cheer

Last weekend we experienced temperatures which warmed to 20C (68F), allowing us one final fling with summer before the earth hibernates for the long months ahead. Frank and I were sitting outside, having our morning coffee when our neighbours Erin and Ron brought their little guy, Winston over for a visit.

Winston and Benny provided us with entertainment which was nourishing to our collective soul. I'd like to share their recipe for Autumn Cheer. Please click on each image to enlarge




A leaf-biting, puddle-stomping, snow-eating, bubble-chasing, stick-fetching little dog.





A leaf-tossing, beer-guzzling, bank-robbing, Bam-Bam lookalike, rosy-cheeked little boy





Brilliant orange, gold-tinged, vibrant red, sunshiny-yellow, seasonal splendour.





Serve warm with giggles and laughs.





Second Helpings, anyone?


Winston and Benny in action.





And a little something extra for dessert.
