A Southern Life

Southern Red October

In between the frequently rainy days, we have had some nice ones. Everything is really starting to take color.

Red bushes

A beautiful red October.

Then there is this:

Pokeweed

pokeweed berries
Pokeweed berries

These are growing all over the place. They are the weeds whose young leaves are used in poke salat (salad). The berries are gobbled up by the birds, but are best not consumed by humans. We have a few in the back yard that we have let grow by the fence for the birds. The stems are a beautiful purplish red. Don’t you just love things like that?

A little outdoor red for Outdoor Wednesday with A Southern Daydreamer and Rednesday! with It’s a Very Cherry and today’s lagniappe is a great idea for Crockpot Wedneday with Dining with Debbie.

Today’s Lagniappe: Crockpot Apple Butter
Something that smells great as it cooks and tastes great when it is done!

Put 3 quarts of apples, sliced thin, in a crock pot and cook overnight on high. Next morning, add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 3 cups sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Cook all day on low.

    The very next time I read a blog, Hopefully it won’t disappoint me as much as this one. After all, I know it was my choice to read through, nonetheless I truly believed you would have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of crying about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy seeking attention.

    After I originally commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Appreciate it.

    May I simply say what a relief to discover somebody that genuinely understands what they are talking about online. You definitely realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people need to look at this and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you’re not more popular because you surely have the gift.

    Hi, I do believe your site might be having internet browser compatibility problems. Whenever I take a look at your site in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Besides that, great website!

    What beautiful photos! I especially love the red bushes and the maple leaves. I love apple butter. My mother recently made some and is sending a few jars to me – cannot wait for that package!

    Thank you for sharing your photos and recipe with us!

    Lovely red leaves and I like the shot with the moon. When I was a little girl, I would make play ink from poke berries.

    The Red colors are so pretty, we too have a red twig bush but with no berries… It adds some beauty to the landscape during the cold winter months against the snow. The moonrise was beautiful! I LOVE this time of year!

    Your photos are so pretty! We just don’t have colors like that here. The photos & info on the poke berries was interesting. When I saw the description I thought Poke like Poke Salad Annie… and then in reading your post yep that’s it. INTERESTING! And the apple butter sounds really good. I bet it makes the whole house smell divine.
