Welcome to October! Baking Delights Buzz for October First

Here it is, October first.

This is a close up of Marc’s maple tree that we got him for Father’s Day a few years ago.  I thinkit is called a scarlet maple? Anyway, I am going ot take pictures of it weekly to blog the changes.  It is truly beautiful in the fall for a few weeks.  Even in Texas.

Lots of things coming up in October. First of all, if you will look to the side bar you will see a blogtoberfest button.  Go ahead, look….see? There it is…isn’t it cute?

Hi Marye,

I love to read your blog; it comforts me (like a best friend) when I’m world-wearied, and delights me with surprises and suggestions.

Cookbooks are like family members: so much advice, so many ideas, and memories of days gone by that are full of food and love. I’d love to add another to my shelf.

I love when you talk about the kids, and what they’re doing. Keep up all your marvelous work, and recipes, and remind us of your gracious life!

I just like knowing that you guys don’t just love me for my recipes.

Besides the Blogtoberfest giveaways, if that was not enough, I have some other things up my sleeve for October. Including:

• Field Trips
• A Flickr Group -more about that soon
• Blog of the Week
• And lots of new recipes that I want to try.

Don’t go away…October is gonna be awesome!
