Autumn Leaves

'Dancing Peacock' Someone needs to write a song... :) With an atmospheric river and 30 mph winds predicted this past weekend, I was afraid the ginkgo, which had just started to turn color, would be stripped.  We were lucky though and it remains intact. Gingko 'Princeton Sentry' After the storm... The Black Tupelo (Nyssa slyvatica) changes color from the inside out - The above photo was taken last week. Here it is today - 'Wolf Eyes' Dogwood (Cornus kousa) has never had such pink color - Catalpa bignonioides 'Aurea', Crape Myrtle 'Dynamite' ( Lagerstroemia ), and Persian Ironwood ( Parrotia persica ) - Japanese Maple 'Beni Hime' - Serviceberry 'Autumn Brilliance' ( Amelanchier ) with tree peonies - Stewartia pyschocamellia starts the color show early. It has since faded to a much softer color - Text and photos by Phillip Oliver, Dirt Therapy

Cheddar and Black Pepper Biscuits (King Arthur Flour)

 


These turned out to be pretty good. This is a recipe from The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion. I do not see the recipe on their website but I found it here. They were very easy to make with just a minimal chilling period (30 minutes!). I made them in place of dinner rolls and would do so again. The King Arthur book has another recipe, similar with the exception of chives and cream cheese. I'm going to try it next.
