Watching the last leaves fall

Mid-December Summer

Finally! After having problems exporting my images to this blog (new to blogging and having a really hard time figuring out the whole thing!), I think I was able to master the process. My pictures were looking too dull and flat once posted on the web so I had to figure out how to correctly adjust the saturation and brightness to make them look "right". I think they finally look better, or at least I hope so. However, if they look as if they are on fire or totally overexposed on your monitor, then I still have a problem to solve!!!

Yesterday's post (which I had to delete because of the pics) talked about the nice weather we had here in Texas! It was very windy but warm. It actually felt like summer in the middle of winter! It was a great opportunity to grill and relax. I'm so glad I was able to enjoy the nice weather and forget about the crazy holiday rush for a while! Try these recipes whenever it feels warmish this winter.
