Some of my favorites from the shop this Fall.

Clue at the Manor house.

Every year we host a live game of Clue for the youth group at the Manor house, which is part of Tuscarora. It is the perfect place, complete with spooky corridors, a library and strange little doors. This year the power was out from the snow storm so we filled the house with candles and lit the fireplace. It definitely created an atmosphere for our party and we had a great time!

Apple cider donuts.

Miss Peacock, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Dr. Green, Miss Scarlett & Mrs. White.

Weapons were hidden around the house, and characters waited in each room to be questioned about the murder..

weekend: snowed in.

We resisted eating all the trick-or-treat candy on Saturday while we got 5 inches of snow here in PA! Wacky.. Andrew had strep throat so we laid low, cozy with our fireplace, & watched way too much netflix. Mom lost power, so she came for a visit with my favorite cat.

And every time I got stir crazy, I would cook something, like this roasted fennel and white bean dip,(i highly recommend it) and a swiss chard + leek potato frittata.

The snow has already melted, which I don't mind at all since it came way too early, during mine, and everyone else's favorite season.
