A month or so ago Corin encouraged me to keep the blog going by writing just 5 sentences a day. His challenge was 5 sentences a day for 1 week. I made it two days. But now that I'm back in business here's 5 sentences (maybe

October is long past, but St. Frances, Diego and I have been scarfing pumpkin bread like it's going out of style. A week ago St. Frances made two pans of it from scratch and it was gone in under four days. Tonight, I whipped some up from a
