Pumpkin Muffins and Meteors

I got a few more e mails from folks still stuck with pumpkin. Yeah, I know. I can't face another pie, either.

Here's another goodie. Maybe it isn't right for breakfast with a cup of tea. Then again, maybe it is.

Pack a few muffins and a thermos of hot coffee and go out to watch the Taurids meteor shower. It's happening now. You don't need anything special like binoculars or telescopes. Just dress warmly and go to a dark location. Then look up... look way up.

Ain't nature grand!


Have a great day. How can you miss - you're in Winnipeg!
