The mornings and nights are feeling chilly. I can hear the sound of crickets in the garden too. Ringo tried to capture some crickets with a net but Ichigo stopped him!

Autumn is here and with it are lots of new ingredients I can use. Time to put my skills to the test!

I noticed a hole in Ringo's shoes when I was washing them! They're still wearable so I'll patch them up!

Ichigo made some cupcakes at the weekend. So beautifully made and cute!

I wonder if the swallow I heard in the garden in July has left the nest and flown south yet.

The weather can't make its mind up recently. Should I risk putting the washing outside or inside?

Mornings are cooler these days. Kids are back into their school routine and the mornings are busy again!

Its cooler these days and the sun's rays aren't as strong.
The air is crisp - Autumn is here! ✨🌰🍄✨

こんにちは!クッキングママです。涼しくなったわね。日差しもなんだか和らいだような気がするの。空も高くなったし、トンボも飛んでいて、すがすがしくて、い~い気持ち!

Kid's summer vacation is over so Papa has to take over walking Max again. I guess the walks aren't as long now!

Ichigo and Ringo met their friends at school again. They couldn't stop talking about them over snack time!

Kid's summer vacation is over. I like September because it's cooler in the mornings and evenings.

It's cooler now at the end of August so I think I'll take Max on a longer walk today.

Papa forgot his wallet this morning so I rushed to the station to catch him. Good job I remembered in time!

A red dragon fly flew by as I was cleaning this morning! It just shows that summer is far from over yet!

What shall I cook for dinner? It's difficult to think of what to make every night! I know, I'll do fish!

1 7

Kids are doing their homework. Ichigo is drawing morning glory, Ringo is trying to draw sprouts just from memory!

1 6

The kids have gone to the park to catch crickets. Oh look!... there's a rhinoceros beetle in the garden!

Summer means Sōmen noodles! Put dried bonito stock, soy sauce, mirin in water and boil then let it cool to make mentsuyu. Mama likes to add chopped spring onion to her mentsuyu too!

I'm off grocery shopping. Here shops discount food later in the day so I hope I can get sashimi (raw fish) cheap!
