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.

    At this time it appears like Movable Type is the best blogging platform available right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    A quad bike ride in Dubai seems like a great activity with friends or family. It gives everyone a chance to enjoy something exciting together. Group adventures like this often become the best travel memories.

    Quad bike rides in Dubai seem perfect for both beginners and adventure seekers. Even if someone has never tried it before, the experience still looks enjoyable. With proper guidance, it can be a fun and safe desert activity.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

    I have seen that car insurance firms know the cars and trucks which are prone to accidents as well as other risks. Additionally they know what kind of cars are susceptible to higher risk plus the higher risk they’ve got the higher the actual premium rate. Understanding the uncomplicated basics associated with car insurance will allow you to choose the right type of insurance policy that can take care of your needs in case you happen to be involved in an accident. Many thanks for sharing the particular ideas in your blog.
