New tool:  Apple corer.

Making sauce and crisp go a lot faster with it.

Fall colors at 7 am.
Loving the weather, doing a lot of bike riding with dog on leash, horse riding and apple harvesting.

Explore identifying prairie plants.

An exercise in writing non-fiction may be part of a this writers ongoing plan.  The plan is to go to the nature parks and trails and look for native plants to identify as many as possible.  Using the training as a Master Gardener and from the visit to the Iowa Prairie Flower farm, it could be worthwhile.

Visit was in August 2013, at farm near Spencer, IA
Found out today [Dec.9, 2013] that there is an app to use in recording images and text in nature called: Project Noah.
