"A Summons"

I'm called by the flaming forest
to walk these October days
down old, familiar footpaths,
among its leafy maze.,

Verdant trees in all their glory
change robes almost overnight;
and their transfiguration brings
new colors, pure and bright.

I see a squirrel, quick and lively,
scamper through the fallen leaves.
As always in this season,
my heart gladly receives

So much of the cup of beauty
from the Master Artist's hand,
scenes of the flaming forest
scattered throughout the land.

I'm called by the flaming forest;
I'm called and my feet must stray
down old, familiar footpaths
on this gold October day.

Fairylike Elf Couches in the Garden of Adin

Fairylike Elf Couches in the Garden of Adin

(Click the picture to get to this beauty)


Turkey tails (in Latin: "Trametes versicolor" and in Dutch "Elfenbankje" which means "Couch for elfs") is an extremely common polypore mushroom which can be found throughout the world and thus also in The Garden of Adin.

Versicolor means 'of several colours' and it is true that this mushroom is found in a wide variety of different colours and shapes. Therefor to local experts it was no surprise that the Gardener of Adin came upon this beauty here. A picture was taken to share the true beauty of this miracle of Mother Nature with you.

Look and enjoy!

Halloween Banner


This is a banner I made for the Designers Challenge Club project at Scrapbook Generation.  (Each month we get a generous collection of papers, lettering, embellishments, etc. to work on.  The 3rd Thursday of the month everyone returns to the store to show what they did with their  project.)   The papers we worked with this month were a collection from Basic Gray, along with matching chipboard embellishments and other goodies.  

After applying my papers to the chipboard banner shapes, I inked the edges with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.  I then roughed it up a little with a coarse nail file so it would look like it had been used as a decoration for a long time.  The letters I used were some silver glittered letters I had purchased some time ago.  I gathered black crepe paper to make the rosette behind each letter and trimmed it with some silver  glitter glue.

Sweet, Sour and Beautiful

La nouvelle cuisine d'Adin
proudly presents:
Cumquat Marmelade


Ingredients

* 1 Adin antique ring
* 24 green cumquats
* 2 oranges
* ca. 2kg (10 cups) sugar
* juice of 2 lemons
* ca. 2 litres (8 cups) water


Method

Take the Adin antique ring from your finger.

Remove pips from cumquats and oranges, chop them and combine together in a bowl. Using a mug, measure them into a large saucepan. Add 3 mugs of water per each mug of fruit. Let stand in a cool place for 12 hours (or overnight)

Bring the fruit mixture to the boil, reduce heat and simmer until the rind is very tender. Remove from heat and measure cooked fruit. Add one mug of sugar to the pan for every mug of the fruit mixture. Mix in the lemon juice, about 3 tablespoons.

Return the fruit to the pan, and bring to the boil once again. Boil, stirring occasionally, until the gel stage is reached (the temperature of the marmalade should be about 105 C when checked with a kitchen thermometer.) Remove from heat, and skim foam from the surface.

Transfer the mixture to sterile jars, leaving a bit of headspace, and seal immediately. Process any unsealed jars in a water bath. Refrigerate after seal has been broken.

Put the Adin antique ring back on your finger.


Preparation time: ca. 75 min
