Leaves are flyin' and donuts are fryin'.....

We set up in the garage and started the donuts fryin' about 3:30....by 4:30 the neighbors had gathered and the donuts were gone. This is a fun tradition that started with left-over mashed potatoes on long Sunday afternoons. A few of the neighbors got to where they were asking for them so we kept it going, dwindling down to just once a year at Christmastime. The girls figured a
few years back that they could cook them in the garage and not stink up the house, plus they could share them with passers-by and spread the holiday cheer. We did have a good time today but missed a few loved ones so may have to put on another batch another day.

The leaves are just barely hitting the ground as well. Seems a bit late this year but the kids had fun in them today.
