Stormy Days of November [Through My Lens Nr. 17]

While the start of November had been warm and freakishly sunny, this past weekend the weather started to turn, and a more appropriate seasonal display reared its head. Autumn is almost gone, rains and winds from the north are ruling the lands. It's at this time where the comfort of the home is so important. But I also like to go out as much as I can and take in the seasonal change. It won't be long until festive lights and decorations hang inside my home, but until then I want to revel in the beauty of the dark side.

There is no stopping play time, when it comes to Beni. As I was stepping out onto the balcony to take the mountain image above he was on the bed behind me in a playful position, ready to cause trouble. From the balcony I also took a shot of my house. We moved everything to the side (including the grill which we still used last week), so that it would be shielded from the rain. We also had winds that moved everything around.

Playing aside, there is another way of heating up: baking. I got the new cookbook from Nigella Lawson called "Simply Nigella" as well as a old favorite, which I didn't own before: "The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook". Both are very inspirational. I made lemon bars today, and snapped some shots while the bars were cooling. Of course I had to cut a piece, even though they weren't firm enough to be cut into. You can find the recipe here. Baking these got me reminiscing about my Simple Cut-Out Sugar Cookies I made last Holiday Season. I can't wait to get the tree up and decorate, especially when the ones in our garden start to wither away.

Now I want to see what you have been up to in these cold and stormy days. Link down below and share with the rest of us!
