FALL FESTIVAL
Day Nine


October's Party

October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.

Faithful myadoptionwebsite friend Michelle submitted today's recipe and  a super-cute photo of her best friend's son, Luca!  Michelle says . . .

"I love to bake and fall is the perfect time . . . turning the oven on takes the chill out of the air . . . plus, you get treats!"

Enjoy her recipe and the other photos submitted by our myadodptionwebsite friends!
