Nesting time~


I have gotten most of my fall decorations out. The ones I want to use anyway. I find many items stay in the containers. Time for them to find a new home I think. I got rid of some things last year, but tastes change. I find I like it a bit more simple and natural.

 So while I reading the blogs I found this one....and I am in trouble deep. Check out Vanilla Sugar blog
I found these coconut truffles, they are like mounds bars which are a favorite of mine. I became obsessed, I had to make them. I went out in the pouring rain to get the ingredients.....even though I had just returned from the market. Last week it was the oatmeal pumpkin cookies from another blog and now this. I have been riding my bike for a hour a day. I may have to ride for 2 hours at this rate.


                    OK, I got the fat free sweetened condensed milk. Do you think that will help?

 These are the finished candies. I think I may cool them and dip them twice next time. They are so sweet.  I can't keep making these things because I am the one who eats them....
 I added some bittersweet.

A new wreath for the front door and I still need to plant a couple mums and add some more mulch at the front door.

Morning Donna...well you have two things here that are 'loves' of mine...Mounds Bars and Fall decorating.

I bought sooooo much Bittersweet this year it's coming out of my ears...lol But I love to decorate with it too.

I so can relate to the 'not taking out everything' in the bins...I have done the same thing and will take a ton of it to the thrift store.
Thanks for sharing with us.
