Magpie

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything here... so much to tell and so little time :) Thanksgiving was well celebrated as the family gathered at Deb and Arnie's new home... Betty, our pie maker, was out of town unexpectedly, but had done all the prep work before she left so all I needed to do was fill the shells and bake... Here is a lovely squash pie! Thanks to all who contributed their baking efforts, and especially for gathering young and old.

Work at the bakery continues to be good and though the paycheck is not huge, the benefits of being close to home, using less gasoline, working with wonderful women, and learning more about the finer techniques of baking and business have great value.

The Christmas holiday approaches and that creates busyness right now... I am picking and choosing those activities that are joyful and letting go of some of the other things that are just plain silly work to me right now.

Magpie is a tune from the Portland Collection volume two, and can also be found in the Fiddler's Fakebook.
