Au-tum-nal [aw-tuhm-nl]
One thing you won't find in Palm Springs, Ca. ~ Autumn! I'm lovin' the change of seasons in NC, (and, well, the 365 days of SUNSHINE in PS were not too hard to take either...) where it's all about huggy sweaters on crisp fall days. Oh, and pumpkin muffins, and apple cake maybe a little butternut risotto...
Fresh Apple Cake
Whisk 3 eggs until foamy, then add:
1/2 cup canola oil
1 C sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
-Stir, then combine:
2 C flour
2 tsp saigon cinnamon- it's the best!
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp baking soda
add mixed dry ingredients to egg mixture.
stir just untill mixed, then add 3 cups of diced apple, no skin and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Bake in a bundt pan for 40 - 50 minutes at 350. Cool completely and sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Co-pi-ous [koh-pee-uhs]
I had to stop and help myself to a few snaps of this beautiful, copious crop of Sunflowers popping up along side the road. Farmer drove by and stopped to tell me to 'go on and take as many of them flowers as you'd like'. Yeah, me! So I did, and even returned a week later for a few more.
Instant sunshine!

Per.fec.tion [per-fec-shuh n]
I adore how some people will just jump into something without knowing much about it. Not me. Nope. He is my approach:
1) think about it.
2) read up on it.
3) think about it some more.
4) ask around.
5) google it.
6) gather all the necessary elements.
7) become bored by it all.
8) move on to another idea.
Just open the door and step outside already!
I've encountered people that I thought were less than perfect at their chosen vocation, but they didn't think so. They just know that they love it! so that is what they do. I am envious of them for just jumping in, stepping outside of their usual reality. I am interested in so many different things that it would be impossible to know everything about everything, to be perfect at each one. So I dabble, a lot. and still, I'm no closer to perfection.
I 've decided to lose perfection, too limiting.
