The Acorn Buffet

A downpour of acorns has fallen from the trees, effectively leaving the ground covered in a spread of oblong marbles. The accumulation of acorns and other nut varieties proves to be a very popular attraction, as evident by the abundant activity that surrounds them.

It was early evening when I strolled through a small orchard. Here and there among fruiting trees were pairs of orange wings edged with black veining and white dots fluttering against the dimming sky. These wings belonged to monarch butterflies, and they appeared everywhere I turned.

Sculpting Miniature Slices of Pumpkin Pie

Sculpting Miniature Slices of Pumpkin Pie

Pumpkin pie is one of my favorite desserts. I will share a recipe for how to make one, but there is a catch. This recipe only makes pie slices, the slices are really tiny, and they are not edible. Make that three catches. This is a recipe for miniature polymer clay pumpkin pie slices.
