Baking!

It has been very cold for last one week here in Oklahoma. One fine day we went from 65F to 18F in a matter of hours, and now are below freezing for so many days. It is icy and frigid outside (7F right now), so I decided to experiment with my baking. Bake of yesterday; Pizza and and bread. In both the cases, improvised with whatever ingredients were available.

Bread tastes better than it looks :)

Christmas in Paris

Lately I saw some pictures of Paris during Christmas  season, the city looks magical. I have not been in Paris during this time of the year, I am making sure that my next visit is in the Christmas season. 

Please enjoy some of the pictures I have here. ( None of them are mine they are from all over the internet). Next time I will make sure they come from my camera :)

Red Maple

This maple tree is a darling of the neighborhood these days, everyone is taking pictures and talking about it. Though half of the tree is on my neighbor's property but these beautiful red leaves cost me few hundred dollars each year :) (for the clean-up). The tree is very smart, blows all the leaves on my driveway and in my front yard. But it is worth every penny to look at it.

Queen Elizabeth Rose!

Yesterday I went to my backyard after a long interval, this lone Queen Elizabeth rose was smiling, glad I cut it and brought along with some other roses. We already have had our first freeze, seems this is the last QE rose of the season.

Best wishes.

Hot air balloon!

On the morning commute saw this hot air balloon right in front. Couldn't resist taking a picture (there were no other cars or creatures in the street). A perfect fall day for flying in the hot air balloon. Calm winds and 40F.
