Fresh Clean and Pure Friday & Seasonal Saturday

.

 I don't know what's going on in each of your lives these days, but I can certainly say that my life is shifting into extreme high gear at lightning speed  . . . or so it seems to be doing lately!  At work, it is time for advising students for Spring Semester classes already, in addition to helping the seniors prepare for graduation, and sadly, counseling those students who are failing some of their classes.  And that's just on top of regular daily teaching, service, and research activities.  Did I mention that I can't even keep up with regular household tasks/responsibilities!  I see one of those 'Calgon' bath moments beckoning me!

Where does the time seem to go?  With that said, I have not posted once this past week and may not do so for one more week due to the arrival of my parents from Iowa who live with us in the winter (they were scheduled to arrive a few weeks prior to this, but life happens to others as well and their plans were postponed to this week).  So I've been on a domestic cleaning spree (what can I say, I always worry about my parents' approval now and then).  And this weekend is a series of Halloween parties to attend . . . one must have a social life you know!  Gives us foodies a great chance to sample other great recipes or at least get some new ideas!

Welcome to the party and I hope that you meet other great bloggers who inspire you.  

• So link-up your post, plus a lovely photo and title of the post.  
• As always, I delete any post not related to the theme (which means no posts to try to sell or give away anything, no posts with only coupons or store promotions).  
• This is a linky focused on how we are including fresh things in our lives and/or cleaning up our lives in some way, and how we're living in the season.  That simple!
• If you like, the buttons for this linky are AT THE BOTTOM of my blog.

What's Fresh and In Season!!!

.
WOW!!  Another blogger has just done one heck of a lot of work for me and for you!

Here's a great table/chart that I just found in the blogosphere that will help each of us know what produce/foods are freshly available during each season in the market in order to live more seasonally, freshly, and sustainably.   I found this at "sustainablog' (blogging for a greener world).  I know that I will visit this blog more frequently!!!

I hope that you find this information helpful in you cooking/baking endeavors!
 

Have a great fresh, seasonal, and BEAUTIFUL day, my friends!

Blazing Fiery Colored Maple Leaves

.

There is some serious color showing in our little "Autumn Blaze" maple tree.  Really intense hues!
We planted this little beauty four years ago, and when all other trees fail to show off their stuff,
this little tree never fails to impress us!  If I'm fortunate enough to live another 10 years,
I cannot even imagine what a show it will provide every autumn!
