Fallen Leaves

Being able to blend in... one of Fall's many perks.  :)

Moody

The weather was moody today.

It couldn't decide what it wanted to be.

It would cloud up, shoot out rays of sun, and then thrown little tantrums where it poured for a few minutes.  And it cycled like this all day.

And I even think I saw one flash of lightning...

It certainly wasn't the day of storms that I was expecting. 

But then again, it wasn't the typical "fall" day either.

It was moody.

And here's the song that I am obsessed with at the moment.
It has urgency, and it speaks to me.  :)
I heard it one time on the radio last weekend, and it seriously could not leave my mind.  I had the melody revolving through my head for days, so I downloaded it.  And love it!!
It's one of those hauntingly beautiful that you can hum along to, and it sounds great.
"Paradise" by Coldplay.

In the night, the stormy night,

She'd close her eyes
In the night, the stormy night,
Away she'd fly

And dreams of para- para- paradise
Para- para-paradise
Para- para-paradise


Ohoohoooh

Curtains for Play

What are curtains except for pieces of fabric hanging from the wall for cats to play with??
Oh, and the protection from the outside, just in case the door is open.
And a veil... which, on a male cat, looks fabulous! 

Yes, Cornbread uses the curtain for all of these things.  He plays hide-n-seek with whatever else is on the other side.  He peeks out from underneath the curtain whenever the door is open and wears the curtain like a veil, and then just watches.  He's so precious.

Dressed Noodles

In an effort to come up with another side option, I found an image (on Pinterest) of some dressed noodles.  They used spaghetti noodles and tossed them with olive oil, garlic bread crumbs, and parsley.  I thought it sounded good, so I decided to try it tonight.  We used angel hair pasta, broken in half.  Once cooked and drained, we tossed the noodles in olive oil, plain bread crumbs, garlic powder, and some lemon juice.  They turned out great!  Very tasty, super easy, and a nice (and light) side dish to add to our repertoire!  Along with the dressed noodles, we had roasted turkey legs, and peas - the ones with pearl onions and mushrooms.  Such a good meal!  Healthy, tasty, and something different.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
