We’re on our way to a hard freeze tonight in Minnesota. I covered a couple of tender plants I want to save, but otherwise the rest will be done. It’s been a glorious fall here, although many areas could use more rain. For now, though, I’m simply enjoying the colors…
Honest truth – I was thinking I wouldn’t have time to do a Turkey Tuesday post this week. I wasn’t prepared, I didn’t have a recipe in mind, I wasn’t even sure I had ingredients on hand. (And certainly creating the Best Ever Turkey Meatloaf wasn’t in the cards.) In…
