Status Report: October

Sitting…on the couch in the living room. 

Drinking…a cup of coffee. 

Anticipating…my oldest granddaughter’s birthday party this afternoon. She turned two on Tuesday. 

Loving…the perfect fall we’ve had. I don’t remember ever having such colorful leaves in October. If only all falls were like this!

Still picking…carrots, lettuce, swiss chard, kale and brussels sprouts from the garden. I plan to get everything but the kale in over the next few days because the forecast says it’ll be quite cold overnight next week. I’ve been told that kale can survive (and even thrive) in cold temps, so I’ll leave it for a while. 

Collecting…swiss chard recipes to use up my abundance of swiss chard—like Cranberry-Orange Swiss Chard, Swiss Chard Bean Soup, and Roasted Butternut Linguine.

Not planning…a big Thanksgiving dinner this year because I still have only a makeshift kitchen. I’m not sure what we’ll be doing as a family to mark the holiday.

Reading…Covenantal Apologetics by K. Scott Oliphant. It’s interesting, and easier to understand than many works on presuppositional apologetics, but still, it’s not an easy read. And the arguments are not as linear as I expected. (You’ll notice I’m still calling it presuppositional apologetics. I’m not convinced that Oliphant’s term, covenantal apologetics, will become the new name). 

Thanking…God for bright yellow leaves, a two-year old granddaughter, and an abundance of swiss chard.

Wishing…you a blessed October with those you love.
