Jury Duty
Today I had Jury Duty. I took my sketchbook along hoping to be inspired by something at the courthouse or in the gardens ......but....nothing. I had to turn to my shoes and necklace. I am grateful that I wore both of them. I did get a lot of reading in.

Madeleines
Ella has discovered the good taste of Madeleines so today she came over to my house and we baked. The chocolate ones taste just like a hot chocolate cake (from Rose's Christmas cookies) and the white one is lemon/ almond (from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. We made one kind for the chocolate lovers and one kind for the lemon lovers. Both were delicious. Ella is a great helper in the kitchen. She is very good at licking the beater.
Pumpkin Cupcake
I was at the Whole Foods Market yesterday and wandered by the bakery for inspiration on my cupcake cards. Look at this cupcake......with a pumpkin on the top! Since I couldn't exactly sketch and watercolor in the market I was forced to buy it and bring it home...chocolate with mocha icing and a pumpkin patch of more icing. Is there someone who can help me eat this?

Pumpkin Trio
Three pumpkins sitting on the porch. I love this time of year because there is such a variety of pumpkins and gourds available....all with different shapes and colors. The little one (sugar) will end up in a pie or something yummy

Cinderella pumpkin
It's that time of year again. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors but this one is my favorite. It will make a lovely coach, don't you think?
