These are the modpodge leaves.

Definitely an experiment. They do have decent flexibility that I don’t think the modpodge does. I will try the glycerin next time for sure! These are the beeswaxed leaves.

Slow down and look up. #FallColors #AutumnVibes #TreeLove

Anyone else stocking up on rice and dried beans? Preparation for emergency is always good. I also made Pumpkin Butter and GF Pumpkin bread. Pumpkin Butter is emergency food too, Y’all. 😂 I make mine with maple syrup as a sweetener. The key to pumpkin butter is to stir constantly for 20 minutes to avoid it sticking to the pan. 🎃

Curry Vegetable Soup in the works.

I’m going to dip these in beeswax to preserve them and make a leaf garland or two. I won’t press them because I like their natural curls.

We’ve got Google trying to build data centers in the mountains of two counties of SW Virginia. And this is here now. So upsetting to drive through the mountains and see this in Botetourt. The devastation to wildlife is incredibly sad.

Breakfast: Tex Mex Migas. Literally took 5 minutes. I used some leftover, homemade tortilla chips & salsa from our favorite Mexican restaurant we ate at yesterday. Added some garlic powder and onion flakes. Cook the eggs like you would scrambled. Then add the chips and salsa and cheese (last).
