My view from my office window this morning at FAR...our version of Fall

 The Penta add color to the yard..

The Aloe...

My aunt Marcelle died last week.  She was 94 years old.  Out of 11 children there are only three sisters left.  My mother was the baby of the bunch. Below are my aunts Helene, Marcelle and Paulette. This picture was taken many years ago in Luneville, France, the town I was born in.

Dinner...

Grilled Lamb chop, garbanzo beans over brown rice and oven roasted plum tomatoes.

I roasted some plum tomatoes and an eggplant for our meatless dinner recipe tomorrow, but since the tomatoes smelled so good we ate a few. The mechanic likes to eat his artichoke for lunch.
