This week went by so fast, didn’t it? Just a few things happening. John finally won the football picks in week 4, so ‘we’ celebrated his win at Recovery Grill.
I hope he enjoyed his only win this season…
Friday was the yearly potluck lunch for my garden club. It’s funny, we never have a list of who brings what and there is always such variety. I made a pumpkin crunch cake, which I used from this recipe (with a couple tweaks). Mainly I added vanilla and I actually mixed cold butter and cake mix together to form a crumb topping.
Ali – this is for you!
I was concerned about how much this made and that I was going to have a bunch of this leftover this weekend. Well, my garden club peeps did a good job. Upon return home:
Need to save some for John! 😀
It was a lovely drive to the potluck, too, even though it was gray and drizzly. It’s about peak around here. Here are a couple shots I took on my bike ride yesterday. This tree picture was taken last week:
One week later:
So pretty.
Fall color is so fleeting.
Pink picture of the day – also taken on my ride. Local laundromat!
You definitely notice this building.
Not sure how much riding will be happening this weekend. Kind of rainy, but I will probably squeeze something in!
OMG! I’m dying for a slice of that pumpkin cake. Holy cow – it looks amazing Lori!!! 🙂
So do those trees. Between the pretty colors and the pumpkin cake, I feel like I’m in blog-reading Heaven!
YUM on that pumpkin cake. Looks really good.
The fall colors are so interesting and foreign to me. Thanks for sharing your trees with those of us who do not get to see this in person!
Yes the pumpkin cake looks yummy. But the trees look scrumptious!! We’re just starting to get a hint of fall color here. Definitely lower temps, especially at night, but still pretty warm during the day.
I love cake mix cobbler-type recipes! And I love pictures of fall color. We’re still a month or more away down here.
Happy John! 🙂 LOVE the food AND tree pics – both amazing! 😉 LOVE that pink pic too – we don’t see anything like that around here…
Hope you are able to get out this weekend!
I pinned one of those pumpkin cakes too. Waiting to make it for a friends birthday as like you I don’t want a big cake around here lol!
I just told Mr. Helen yesterday I think we need to do our annual foliage drive next weekend. I think because the weather has been a little warmer than usual and bright and sunny, fall has snuck up on us. You’re right about it being fleeting and I don’t want to miss it!
Those that cake look good or what! Bet it’s already gone now 🙂
I saw the tree at FB and I started looking around here but fall colors aren’t really showing here yet. Most trees are still so green. My walk yesterday was a “Fall forest walk” but they better could have called it “Green forest walk” LOL. Wednesday the weather is turning with rain and clouds and I think fall colors appear soon after that.
