Autumn S1E2, Wandering Musings with AJ & A.Rae Podcast
This was so fun! We were so excited to be recording! Autumn is still one of my favorite times of year! Check out the audio, if you haven't already and note that the transcripts do have some flaws. Cheers!
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Welcome to the Wandering Musings of AJ and A-Rae.
2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
To Mama's After Dark.
3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:30,000
Hey guys, welcome to our autumn episode.
5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Welcome! We're excited to talk to you all today.
6
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
So what are you drinking?
7
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I am. Well, actually, what am I drinking?
8
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
We are drinking Spiced Apple Cider.
9
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000
It is a cocktail that I... well, it's not a cocktail because there's no alcohol in it.
10
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I was going to say, wait, wait, wait.
11
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:59,000
But it's from a cocktail chemistry book that I found and gifted to Spot, my husband,
12
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
and it's by Nick Fisher.
13
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000
And then I stole it back for the podcast.
14
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Nice. Yeah, she handed me this drink, so I'm very excited.
15
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000
So in the book, it does say to use a half gallon.
16
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:18,000
I'll read it really quickly and then I'll post it for you guys tomorrow.
17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
A half gallon of a two liter apple cider.
18
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,000
It can be hard cider. It can be regular apple juice.
19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,000
However you want to go about it.
20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Four cinnamon sticks, five whole cloves.
21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Not clothes, but cloves.
22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
She said it earlier and I thought she was saying she needed to get her clothes.
23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
I'm like, but you're wearing clothes. I was very confused.
24
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
It's all good over here.
25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So to clarify, we are using cloves with a V.
26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And then one and one half teaspoon.
27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
That's two grams of whole, all spice.
28
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,000
One teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg.
29
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
And then one vanilla bean that you split lengthwise and you scrape the seeds out
30
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000
and you put both of those in your mixture to boil and simmer together.
31
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
But it was a very fall, autumn-y.
32
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
I mean, I think of apples and so I was like, we should do all things apples.
33
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
It smells amazing.
34
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
It literally smells like fall.
35
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Yeah. And a cup. It does. It smells so good.
36
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,000
It does. We modified it some because it's just the two of us drinking it
37
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
from our cool little muggy things that I had picked up a long time ago for tea.
38
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,000
But it, we did two cinnamon sticks.
39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I broke them in half so that they fit in the little filter things.
40
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:53,000
About, if we're going to do powdered dried cloves, do about a fourth of a teaspoon or less
41
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
because cloves are very overpowering.
42
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:02,000
We did three of the little, I guess, our seeds, clove seeds in it, three pods of those in.
43
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000
And then we did about a half a teaspoon, both of allspice and nutmeg, the powdered.
44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,000
And I totally forgot to put vanilla extract in it, but do you think we need it?
45
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
No, I think it's really good the way it is.
46
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Awesome. So if you want a little bit more of the, I don't know,
47
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,000
apple buttery taste to it, you put a little bit of vanilla into it, but.
48
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I think it's great. It's a great addition.
49
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Nice and warm.
50
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
For our fall episode.
51
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Yeah. Yeah.
52
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000
And then if you're not an apple cider fan, we have a couple suggestions.
53
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000
I like the black rifle coffee, pumpkin flavored, like pumpkin spice flavored coffee.
54
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
It's pretty tasty.
55
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
We're not sponsored by them.
56
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
No.
57
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
This is the second time we've mentioned them.
58
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
I know.
59
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
It's really like, wait a second.
60
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
We really love their coffee.
61
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
They're good.
62
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Well, and they have a great thing.
63
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
They support veterans.
64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,000
So parts of their revenue they put towards our veterans, which is really important.
65
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
They did their service for us.
66
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
We need to take care of them.
67
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
It's a good cause.
68
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
It is a very good cause.
69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
And then what was the cocktail is telling you about earlier?
70
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Not the apple one, but the pumpkin one.
71
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Oh, the, the pumpkin, good Lord.
72
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
No, the pumpkin latte.
73
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000
No, no, no, no, no, the cocktail, the pumpkin spice.
74
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Was it pumpkin spice?
75
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I just called it pumkin.
76
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Pumkin spice.
77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Oh my goodness.
78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Yeah, the pumpkin spice pumpkin.
79
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Wow.
80
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
The pump-kin, pumpkin spice cocktail.
81
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I think so.
82
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Let me check the book real quick.
83
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,000
So it's the cocktail chemistry book.
84
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
My brain is not bringing today.
85
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Let me see if I can pull up real quick.
86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Um, see here.
87
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Page.
88
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Oh yeah.
89
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Page 87.
90
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:11,000
So this one, it has whiskey, two ounces of whiskey, um, pumpkin spice syrup, and then
91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
lemon juice.
92
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Lemon juice.
93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,000
Yeah.
94
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Just a little bit.
95
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Kiss him in.
96
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Um, and then it actually tells you how to make the pumpkin spice syrup in the book, but
97
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
you'll have to get the book.
98
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Oh darn.
99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,000
Cause I'm already didn't give you the recipe for the apple cider.
100
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Cause probably like, please don't give all my recipes out.
101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Well, that sounds good too.
102
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,000
But yeah, you can also just get a pumpkin latte.
103
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Can't go wrong with a pumpkin spice latte.
104
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Yeah.
105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
And then you don't have to make it.
106
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Somebody else will make it for you.
107
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And that's better.
108
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Sometimes you want to be served.
109
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Yeah.
110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Even if you have to pay for it.
111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Right.
112
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
We're drinking today.
113
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Yeah.
114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
You know, the changing weather.
115
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
Excuse my squeaky chair.
116
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Just feels good to drink something hot.
117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
And hardy.
118
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Yeah.
119
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Hardy.
120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
It does taste really good.
121
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Hardy.
122
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Yeah.
123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,000
I think that's, yeah, it smells so good.
124
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
I just wish you guys could smell it.
125
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,000
I want this.
126
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Well, okay.
127
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Yeah.
128
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
But I was,
129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Like a candle.
130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
In my house all day long.
131
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Like a candle.
132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Put it in a candle in it.
133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Yeah.
134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
There you go.
135
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
No, no.
136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
We can put the scent in the candle.
137
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,000
There we go.
138
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
I knew what you were saying.
139
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Words are great.
140
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Words are wonderful.
141
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Words are great today.
142
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,000
So what quote did you have for us today?
143
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
On the same autumn theme, I found a quote that I really liked.
144
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
It is by Dodin, Dodinski.
145
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
I hope I'm pronouncing that right.
146
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
I mean, not.
147
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
I sincerely apologize.
148
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,000
It says,
149
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
It's a tongue twister.
150
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,000
There you go.
151
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,000
It says,
152
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I hope I can be the autumn leaf who looked at the sky and lived.
153
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
And when it was time to leave gracefully,
154
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
it knew life was a gift.
155
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I read that.
156
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,000
And I don't know why it struck me, but it did.
157
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
I think just because I want to,
158
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
I'm in the era of my life where.
159
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
I want to live my life to the fullest.
160
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Just like a leaf, you know, you, you bloom, you live your life.
161
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
And then you want to know.
162
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000
That when it's time to leave, you know, you did your best.
163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
You know, you lived your life to the fullest.
164
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,000
And you leave gracefully.
165
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
You know, it just really struck something in me.
166
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
And I'm going to put it on my wall.
167
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
That's beautiful.
168
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
But we also need to remember like our cycles of life, right?
169
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
Cause we have, I'm different than when I was a child.
170
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,000
And when we pass through that, it's like those leaves falling from our childhood.
171
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,000
And then, so that's very beautiful.
172
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It's a beautiful quote.
173
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Thanks for sharing it with us.
174
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:08,000
I did because I didn't know much about Dodinsky or however you say.
175
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
I really hope that's how you say the name.
176
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
I mean, phonetically, that's how you say it, but that doesn't always work on names.
177
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
We're going to say this.
178
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:24,000
But I did look up about him and there's, he's written two books.
179
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
He's a New York Times bestselling author in 2013 for the, in the Garden of Thoughts.
180
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
And that's where your quote came from.
181
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,000
And then he has a second project from 2015 in the Garden of Happiness.
182
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
And check him out.
183
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:47,000
It took me a second to find him, but I found him on, I don't remember if it was Facebook or
184
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,000
I should have written it down.
185
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,000
It was kind of late when I was going down that rabbit hole.
186
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
Social media.
187
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
Social media.
188
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Yeah.
189
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,000
But he has a lot of quotes that are just beautiful and uplifting.
190
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Yeah.
191
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
But from the all-americanspeakers.com about that Dodinsky.
192
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Because his intent was simply to share his reflections about life in order to help heal
193
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
the wounds inflicted by life's troubles.
194
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
And I think we need a little bit more of that out in the world where, okay, all of this
195
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
bad things are happening and do happen because that's unfortunately part of life.
196
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Right?
197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Yeah.
198
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,000
We have the goods and we have the bads and we have the ugliest and the wonderful(s).
199
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000
But we need more things out in the world that help heal us and our communities.
200
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
So that was just really beautiful.
201
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
And it made me want to read, that quote, maybe you want to read his books.
202
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Yeah.
203
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Okay.
204
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,000
And the site that I was looking at made me want to delve more into it.
205
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
Yeah, I didn't know he had a book.
206
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Now I'm going to go find him .
207
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,000
Right?
208
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Now I have to find him.
209
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Yeah, now I'm going to go find him.
210
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Right.
211
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:02,000
I also think it would be remiss of us if we didn't do a better talk about speaking about
212
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,000
last time's author Emily Dickinson.
213
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,000
We shared a poem.
214
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
It was beautiful about Autumn.
215
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And then it was like, hmm, I don't think I ever said where we got it from, who she is
216
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000
if no one's familiar.
217
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,000
So.
218
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Okay.
219
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Well, yeah, because, you know, you say Emily Dickinson and then you assume everybody knows,
220
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
but you know, there are people who don't.
221
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Yeah.
222
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Some people haven't met her yet.
223
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Sorry.
224
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
So the book that I pulled it from was Final Harvest, Emily Dickinson's Poems, and it was
225
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
compiled by Johnson.
226
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,000
I don't know that I said the first name of Johnson, but that's what I found on the thing.
227
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
And last week's poem was really beautiful.
228
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
So check out last week's teaser.
229
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
It's also on our website.
230
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,000
I put it on our website.
231
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,000
So Icheck that out if you did not already.
232
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000
She was born in December of 1830 and she passed away May of 1886.
233
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
So she was only in her 50s.
234
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
I didn't know that.
235
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Yeah.
236
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Which by today's standards, very young.
237
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Yeah.
238
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
But I think back then that was pretty old.
239
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Yeah.
240
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Because they didn't live very long, I don't think.
241
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,000
No, I think they, I think most of them did live past their 40s at least by that point,
242
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,000
but they were still passing along unfortunately, earlier, in their 50s and 60s, which blows
243
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000
my mind beca our parents are what in their 60s and 70s, it's like what kind of
244
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,000
thing.
245
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:39,000
And then I found it really interesting and funny and nice to read from her perspective
246
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,000
of what she thought about her.
247
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
So I didn't actually throw in another quote from her, but it was about her.
248
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
And so I thought it was neat.
249
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:56,000
But she wrote a letter to her friend who was kind of her mentor and in it she said, I am
250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,600
small like the Wren and my hair is bold like chestnut burr and my eye is like the sherry
251
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,000
in the glass that the guest leaves.
252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:13,000
And I was like, I don't think I've ever slowed down enough to think of me or anyone in that
253
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:24,000
like detailed of and finding comparisons in a world around me.
254
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And I was like, maybe I need to slow down a little bit more.
255
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
That's cool.
256
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:34,000
I think that's something a poet would do or a writer would do.
257
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Absolutely.
258
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,000
But yeah, that's kind of cool.
259
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I mean, as an artist, I find like, okay, this is that's not the right green that I want for
260
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,000
this, but I don't.
261
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Yeah.
262
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,000
I don't think I've ever made that connection and it's nice to kind of pull from different
263
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,000
mediums and learn different ways.
264
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
I like that she did that.
265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
That is that is pretty awesome.
266
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Yeah.
267
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And a good reminder for us to slow down.
268
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Especially nowadays.
269
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Will we probably not?
270
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
We are moms.
271
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,000
We try.
272
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Yeah.
273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,000
We try.
274
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Yesterday or was it yesterday?
275
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,000
Maybe it was the day before but Lorenzoh.
276
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,000
was like, you would probably be a lot like calmer.
277
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Like you wouldn't have as much to do if I didn't fill up your schedule.
278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
And I was like, yeah.
279
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
But then we would be bored.
280
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000
We would be bored without children to fill up our lives.
281
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,000
We would be bored.
282
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Or they would be bored and we would be like, please find something to do.
283
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
There's no happy medium.
284
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I feel like either we're too busy or like, oh my gosh, we need to slow down or we don't
285
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
have enough and we're so bored.
286
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000
But it's okay.
287
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
We love our kids.
288
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Yeah.
289
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
It's our life.
290
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
We chose this.
291
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,000
We have moments, right?
292
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,000
It's fine.
293
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
It's fine.
294
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
We just fill up our bathtub and put some candles on and we're like, I'm taking a break.
295
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Leave me alone.
296
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,000
I love you.
297
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Yes.
298
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,000
I love you.
299
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:02,000
But I need a break.
300
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Which is what we're doing this for.
301
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
We sound like great moms don't we?
Leave us alone.
302
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
We're going to sip our cider and take a break here.
303
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Yeah.
304
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
But those are just the things that I wanted to add in.
305
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,000
That's awesome.
306
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Thank you for sharing that.
307
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,000
Absolutely.
308
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:18,000
I love it.
309
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,000
So, we totally, totally jumped through this, but how has your week been?
310
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,000
I mean, it's been okay.
311
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,000
My parents came to visit and then I got pretty sick after they left.
312
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,000
So I'm recovering.
313
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Well, you were mama bear to your parents.
314
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Yes.
315
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Yeah.
316
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
But I'm okay.
317
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000
I, I slept it off for several days.
318
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
I should have asked you to sleep somemore for me.
319
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Okay.
320
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Yeah, I took it out for you.
321
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Next time.
322
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Don't get sick again.
323
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
No.
324
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,000
No.
325
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
I'm all good.
326
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
How about you?
327
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Have you been good?
328
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Running, running around.
329
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,000
But we held auditions and callbacks for.
330
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Show that we have coming up that my husband and I are directing at our local community
331
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,000
theater.
332
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
And we feel like we have a promising way to go.
333
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
We just have to contact everyone.
334
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:24,000
And then we do, we make sure we contact both people who are in it and who aren't because
335
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
we feel like it's important not to ghost people.
336
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Yeah.
337
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Because it's an awful thing to be like, they never got back to me.
338
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,000
So did I get it?
339
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Did I not get it?
340
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Right.
341
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
And then a week later you're like, well, I guess I didn't get it.
342
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000
I don't know.
343
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:44,000
And it also gives people an opportunity to ask what could I do better?
344
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Cause sometimes you're wondering, okay, is it me or is it just that?
345
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,000
It didn't quite fit.
346
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Cause there's so many.
347
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
You just weren't quite ready for that show.
348
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,000
There's so many different things like you have that you don't even think about.
349
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Yeah.
350
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:02,000
So, so not only are you a very busy mom, you also like to do.
351
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
You also like to do theater.
352
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Yeah.
353
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,000
I also like to do theater.
354
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
And I've told her over the years, you've got to slow down and stop doing shows.
355
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Does she listen?
356
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,000
I'm not in it.
357
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
I'm just telling people what to do.
358
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Yeah, but you still, watch.
359
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000
You're going to end up taking on costume design.
360
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
No, no, no, no, no.
361
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,000
You are.
362
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Watch.
363
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,000
By the end of it.
364
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
We have an awesome production team this time around.
365
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
We have a very talented music director.
366
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,000
We have a very talented costumer and she has an awesome sidekick who is learning from the
367
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
university up here.
368
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Costuming.
369
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
I'm like, maybe I may also button on.
370
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
If you need me to, I will do anything else.
371
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,000
But pull it.
372
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,000
I hope that's true.
373
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Don't make me find it.
374
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:59,000
And then our stage manager, she's, she's recovering from, she's a teacher.
375
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,000
And she hurt herself prepping her, her classroom.
376
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:04,000
Oh dear.
377
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,000
And she had to have surgery and she's been doing PT, but she's going to run our mics
378
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:18,000
and then we're going to have her train whoever needs to be her legs down in the stage area
379
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
to prep things.
380
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
You theater people are crazy.
381
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
We are a little crazy and we're doing all of this for no money.
382
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Because we, are a peeper.
383
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Peeper.
384
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,000
The ever people.
385
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
It's like pumkin its a pumkin.
386
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Crazy.
387
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,000
I can speak I promise.
388
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:43,000
They're, they're so great, like creative and they'll give you the shirt off their back
389
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,000
if they need to.
390
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Your shows are awesome though.
391
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,000
I've been to several of them and they are awesome.
392
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
So I'll give you that.
393
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,000
But still, you guys.
394
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Plus it makes it to where I'm not like all the time at home.
395
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Like what did I do on Friday?
396
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000
I dug up some plants at our aunts.
397
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
She gave us some plants that she wanted to.
398
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
They're beautiful, but they were not where she wanted them to be.
399
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
And I have a couple of places that I need some pretties.
400
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
And so she let me come and dig some of them up.
401
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
And I planted them all.
402
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:26,000
And like an hour before the sun goes down and then we were moon planting.
403
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Poor Kaden's like, what are we doing out here?
404
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:33,000
And I have like 20 million mosquito bites on me from me, but that's okay.
405
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000
But that's why I do cost, like costuming and other stuff at the theater.
406
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,000
Here's something you have to know about A-Rae.
407
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
She never stops.
408
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You guys never stops.
409
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
Try to.
410
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
No, you don't.
411
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
When I don't feel good.
412
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,000
And even then sometimes I have to tell her to stop, but she's always doing something.
413
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,000
I think I have ADHD.
414
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:03,000
I'm like 95% sure.
415
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,000
I think you do too, honestly.
416
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
She's always doing something every day.
417
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,000
She's like, I got, doing this, this, this.
418
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,000
It gives me headache, man.
419
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Oh, hey, look what I painted.
420
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000
I wasn't going to plan. I wasn't planning on painting this, but what do you think of this?
421
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,000
I'm like, what ever happened to that project?
422
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,000
Well, we're getting there.
423
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
I circle back eventually.
424
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000
It's like I read five books at the same time because I get tired of one of them.
425
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
But I digress.
426
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,000
I'm like throwing up in the microphone here.
427
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,000
No, no, it's all good.
428
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000
It's all good.
429
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
I love it.
430
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
So I shouldn't tell you that next week I need to harvest my grapes, finish harvesting them.
431
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000
Apple tree over there and then cut them.
432
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Oh, geez.
433
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Prune them all before it snows.
434
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
That's my next two weeks on top of two weeks.
435
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
You can do that in two weeks.
436
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
I have to do the pears and stuff too.
437
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,000
And maybe we'll actually get pears next year.
438
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,000
That are not like this size pears.
439
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
That would be great.
440
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,000
And we'll actually be able to reach them because they're so high up.
441
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
It's fine.
442
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
It's fine.
443
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
So speaking of activities that you'll always have going on.
444
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
We'll just dive right in.
445
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
We'll just dive right in here.
446
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,000
To autumn?
447
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,000
Yeah.
448
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Okay, good.
449
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,000
We'll just dive right into autumn activities.
450
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Maybe I do too much.
451
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000
So it's autumn time, obviously.
452
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Well, yeah, technically it's autumn time.
453
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Yeah.
454
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000
But we still get these.
455
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
We're into the middle of it.
456
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
But you know, where we live, we still get these days where it's really warm.
457
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,000
And I don't like it.
458
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
I love autumn time.
459
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:50,000
It's my favorite time of year.
460
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Autumn and spring because it's nice and cool.
461
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Great.
462
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
But where we are, it's like a week.
463
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,000
I know.
464
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,000
We get a week and then it's winter and snow.
465
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:06,000
And this last time because of things, it was snowing when it should have been springing.
466
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,000
I know.
467
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,000
But that's.
468
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
So, I mean, it's technically autumn time and it's fall break.
469
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:18,000
I don't know about your kids, but we were in fall break right now all two days of it.
470
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Our kid's are like a little ahead of the times and we already did it, but that's fine.
471
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
So we do fall break, fall break activities.
472
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:33,000
And then they have, you know, the Halloween coming up, which will be next week's or the
473
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
following episode, depending on what time you're listening to it.
474
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
But it'll be our third episode.
475
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Yeah, there we go.
476
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,000
Episode number three.
477
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:47,000
And then we got fall activities that happened at this time of year.
478
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:53,600
And so we thought it would be fun to talk about traditions, traditions, things that
479
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:59,000
we do, things that we researched and maybe we'll do next year because they're cool.
480
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,000
There's a couple of those that I found.
481
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
I was like, I'm going to research this.
482
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:10,000
And it's a lot of the fall activities and traditions, they are universal.
483
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Most of them are universal.
484
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
I mean, we all have fall.
485
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Even if it feels like summer or feels like winter.
486
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Yeah, we have fall.
487
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
There is a moment where we feel that shift.
488
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
Yeah.
489
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Right?
490
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
It's hard to put it in words, but it's like a feeling that you get of things are slowing
491
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
down a little bit.
492
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Things are focusing a little bit more on a certain thing.
493
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,000
We're starting to go more inner than outer.
494
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Like we're not doing barbecues all the time, which was exhausting.
495
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Yeah.
496
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:48,000
The next barbecue I do, I'm smaller barbecue parties, barbecues, you know, all those things
497
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:56,000
for me that shift is when the leaves start to change colors on the mountains or depending
498
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
on where you live, you have trees in your yard.
499
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,000
They start to shift colors and there's that you wake up in the morning and you've got
500
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
that crispness in the air.
501
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:12,000
And that taste, it's like a smelly taste crisp that you can't put it in words.
502
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Yeah.
503
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,000
It's just that slight shift.
504
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,000
It's almost like breeze.
505
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:16,000
I don't know how else.
506
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
A little chill.
507
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,000
Yeah.
508
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,000
Where you didn't have that in the nighttime.
509
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
I mean, yeah, you can open the windows in the night in the summertime and it'll cool
510
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000
down a little bit, but it's just when you.
511
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
But you still have like that hot.
512
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Yes.
513
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Like air.
514
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Right.
515
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,400
It's that's when you know, autumn is here is when you have your windows open and you
516
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,000
wake up a little bit chilled and you're like, oh, I should little sweater.
517
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Yes.
518
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
Sweater weather.
519
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I love wearing a sweater.
520
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Me too.
521
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
I hate walking around with them, but if I can wear them, you know, like the spring time
522
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
where it starts getting warmer and then you're like, I need it for the morning, but not.
523
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And you're just tired of like winter you're wearing a coat all the time, right?
524
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Oh, yeah.
525
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,000
So spring you're still kind of like, I don't want to do this.
526
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000
I live for sweater weather.
527
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,500
After a hot summer and you can start putting on your, oh, it's so nice and refreshing.
528
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:14,000
But speaking of the leaves and the bright reds and golds and stuff like that.
529
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,000
Later, I'm going to share, I'm going to share like the peak foliage that I found.
530
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Okay, I've been, I've been nerding out.
531
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I've nerd out all the time.
532
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I was looking at the farmers almanac.
533
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
How did I say that earlier?
534
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,000
I don't know.
535
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,000
What did you say?
536
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,000
It was something weird, but it was not even close to almanac.
537
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,000
I was like, look, I forgot how to say it.
538
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
I had to, it's one of those I have to read it to say it, right?
539
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
But talks about like peak foliage.
540
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000
I can talk today.
541
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000
I promise.
542
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
I know English.
543
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,000
You sure?
544
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Maybe I should speak Portuguese over doing this.
545
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
I mean, he could switch, but I wouldn't know what you're talking about.
546
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
So I just stare at you with a blank look.
547
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Maybe some people would know, but everybody else would be like,
548
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
It's fine.
549
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Yeah.
550
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
But I like the falling leaves, the leaf piles.
551
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Yes.
552
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
Remember when we were, I can't do that now, but jumping into the leaf.
553
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000
He could.
554
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
He wouldn't get back up.
555
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000
He would probably be broken.
556
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Spot comes out.
557
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,000
What are you doing?
558
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
I'm just laying here because I can't get up.
559
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000
Yep.
560
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Your parents are raking up the leaves and you're supposed to be helping,
561
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
but you just jump in the pile.
562
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
You're like, well, you can finish.
563
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:34,000
No, no, my kids didn't say that or my parents didn't say that.
564
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,000
I was just allowed to keep making a mess.
565
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I say that.
566
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Start, start raking that up.
567
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,000
I think of like, like you said, the crisp, chilled at morning airs.
568
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I think of apples.
569
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Yes.
570
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Because I have five apple trees.
571
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
They are delicious apples.
572
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000
I have apples coming out of my ears right now.
573
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,000
I finished the ones that you gave me.
574
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,000
The ones that we think are honey crisps.
575
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000
I think yes.
576
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
And I've been craving more.
577
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000
Oh, well, I have these ones I have to do.
578
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Those ones taste like a gala though, but they're sweeter.
579
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,000
I don't know.
580
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
I don't even know if we know what apples just.
581
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Yeah.
582
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,000
Apples to me mean fall.
583
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:18,000
Yeah.
584
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Because that's when your heart was done.
585
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:27,000
I remember when I, my family, we lived up in the Mount Hood area.
586
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:31,000
And we would go up in there and they would have like those big barrels.
587
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
You know what I'm talking about?
588
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Like the big like, yeah.
589
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Thousands of apples in there and they were like 16 different kinds.
590
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:44,000
And it's just, I miss that part, but that's what I think.
591
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:45,000
Corn mazes.
592
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Oh yeah.
593
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:53,000
Well, going back to the apples though, did you know the apple picking was one of the
594
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:57,000
oldest autumn or I guess traditions?
595
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Traditions.
596
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,000
I did not know that when I was like looking into fall activities.
597
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,000
Yeah.
598
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,000
In the, in the US until, until prohibition.
599
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
Did you know in prohibition that people started burning apple trees?
600
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,000
No.
601
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Because it's super easy to make apple ale.
602
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000
Alcohol.
603
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Yeah.
604
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,000
And so they started burning them all down.
605
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
And I was thinking all that free, all that free food.
606
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
What are you doing?
607
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:28,000
That's what that's what they're saying that, that apple growing and apple picking started
608
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
as early as the 1600s.
609
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,000
And that's what they did it for.
610
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000
They did it for to make, to make alcoholic cider.
611
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
So you can do that.
612
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
You can make your apple vinegar.
613
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
So it had a purpose.
614
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
Right.
615
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:49,000
But then, then it grew, grew into a more.
616
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Bobbing for.
617
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Yeah.
618
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Like fun activity.
619
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
I don't know if that would be fun.
620
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
You have a whole bunch of water.
621
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Well, I was that aside.
622
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Like a hocus pocus too where they're holding their heads down.
623
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Apple bobbing aside.
624
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,000
They make really good treats.
625
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000
They make any treats and stuff like that.
626
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Candy apples.
627
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Yeah.
628
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000
I lost two.
629
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Oh my gosh.
630
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Jesus.
631
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,000
But you know, I think it's cool that, you know,
632
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Apple picking was one of the oldest traditions, which I think.
633
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Makes sense.
634
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,000
I mean, they, they grow apple trees for a purpose.
635
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
And then they might as well make fun out of it.
636
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,000
You get to pick the apples anyways.
637
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000
You might as well reward yourself after that point.
638
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Did you also know that an apple, if you like our honey crisps,
639
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,000
if we took seeds from that and planted it,
640
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,000
it would not necessarily be a honey crisp apple tree.
641
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000
It would, they make their own taste.
642
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Did you know that?
643
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,000
They're all individually that way.
644
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
That's why you, like when you have like, oh, this is a honey crisp.
645
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And this is a honey crisp.
646
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000
If they're from two different trees, they don't necessarily taste exactly the same.
647
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
They have notes that are the same.
648
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
Yeah.
649
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000
They don't taste exactly the same.
650
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Your chair is so squeaky.
651
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
I know.
652
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Maybe I should pick a different one.
653
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,000
I sound like I'm rocking in a, you know, rocking chair.
654
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
Rocking chair.
655
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000
Which is ironic because you didn't want to sit in your rocking chair
656
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000
because it was so squeaky.
657
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Maybe I'll just sit on the floor.
658
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,000
It's fine.
659
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,000
It's fine.
660
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
But speaking of bobbing for apples.
661
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Yeah.
662
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
I'm a fun little fact.
663
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Tell me about Bob who's bobbin' in apples.
664
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
Say that 20 times.
665
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,000
No, I won't.
666
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Are you sure there's no alcohol in this?
667
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,000
No, there's, I don't know.
668
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,000
You made it.
669
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Is there, there better not be.
670
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:53,000
It says Martin Nelly's apple juice.
671
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
Does not say that there's alcohol.
672
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
You gave me cold medicine.
673
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
Did you?
674
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,000
No, I didn't.
675
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Anyways, focus, please.
676
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
So bobbing for apples.
677
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:11,000
So it's, it's a fun game now, although you don't sound like you would want to do it.
678
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
No.
679
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
You get water up your nose, but it was.
680
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Well, I don't get water up my nose when I swim.
681
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
I know how to keep it out.
682
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000
But you, okay.
683
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Anyways, you digress.
684
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:33,000
It was a way for British women to long, long, long time ago for them to determine
685
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
who their potential suitor was.
686
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,000
I heard about this.
687
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:37,000
Yeah.
688
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Did they put it under their pillow?
689
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:39,000
No.
690
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:40,000
Well, what?
691
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Okay.
692
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Maybe this is a different thing.
693
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,000
No, they would literally bob for apples.
694
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Their potential suitors would put their apple in the barrel.
695
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Well, how do you know?
696
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000
And then put their name on it?
697
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
No, no, no, maybe one is a.
698
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Maybe one is a almost a blue.
699
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
What the heck?
700
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
A green apple or a red apple or.
701
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
And yeah, maybe they put a little in it.
702
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
That makes sense.
703
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,000
I didn't go to that into that.
704
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000
I didn't question that part.
705
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,000
I want to make sure that if this was me, this was me and I was picking an
706
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,000
apple, I want to make sure I end up with the right person.
707
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,000
So they would put it in and then it would have been great.
708
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:24,000
And you pull out and they're like, Billy Bob is over there saying that's my
709
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000
apple.
710
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
And you're like, no, this is Greg's cause it says Greg on it.
711
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
I didn't question it.
712
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Okay.
713
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:34,000
I just thought it was cool because if she bit into that potential suitors
714
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:39,000
apple, then, then I guess they went on the date, but it had to be a
715
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,000
single attempt.
716
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,000
If she bit into it one time and she got it.
717
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Cause if she took multiple.
718
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Oh, so if it like fell out, you're, you're like SOL.
719
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,000
Yeah, that's that wasn't her suitor.
720
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:54,000
So they're bopping for apples and it's she gets it in one attempt.
721
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
That's her potential.
722
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:57,000
No, can't two time it.
723
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,000
That's rude.
724
00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,000
I know.
725
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
So it was an omen that good omen that she'd end up with that suitor.
726
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Okay.
727
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
But did you get a refund?
728
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
If it didn't work out, you're like, oh, this didn't work for me.
729
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
But now once it now.
730
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Reached the U.S.
731
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Oh, this is your apple.
732
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Oops.
733
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
My bad.
734
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
That just came out of my mouth.
735
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,000
I don't know what happened.
736
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000
But now that it's reached the U.S.
737
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Now it's just a lighthearted, autumn activity.
738
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Okay.
739
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
As long as nobody like holds my head down.
740
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
I think I'd be fine.
741
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,000
But don't worry.
742
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
I won't take you bobbing for apples.
743
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
But it's cold outside when they do it.
744
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
They don't do it in the middle of the day.
745
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,000
They do it at nighttime.
746
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:40,000
I know.
747
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
And it's cold water and I don't like cold
Listen.
748
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:43,000
No one's taking you opple.
749
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Oh, my gosh.
750
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Apple.
751
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,000
Opple.
752
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Hopping.
753
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Anyways, this is great.
754
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,000
Yeah.
755
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,000
So what did you say, corn mazes? corn mazes.
756
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Yeah.
757
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,000
We have a guy down here that does corn mazes every year and every year.
758
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,000
I want to go to it and every year I don't.
759
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
You know, I've thought about going to them.
760
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
But they kind of terrify me.
761
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,000
I get lost.
762
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
I think there's no, I think of Harry Potter.
763
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000
And they're, they're mae the Goblet of Fire.
764
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Sure.
765
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,000
No.
766
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
What's the one where?
767
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000
I was going to say, spoiler alert, but I think everybody knows Harry Potter.
768
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,000
I hope so.
769
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
Where Cedrek dies.
770
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
That thing in that maze.
771
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Look, they're popular when we were a little so.
772
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
That terrifies me that you're going to get lost in the cor maze.
773
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,000
I know that there's probably ways out and there's people looking out for you.
774
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
But the one down the road you can see kind of.
775
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
And I, I know which way is east.
776
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
And so I know which way to get out, even if I have to walk through all of the stalks.
777
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000
So I've never been in one.
778
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Okay.
779
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Well, maybe we should go do that one because.
780
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
As long as I have something to hold my hand.
781
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Yeah.
782
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I'll make sure to hold your hand.
783
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Because I need someone to hold my hand.
784
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,000
That's not directionally challenged.
785
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000
I am not challenged.
786
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000
I know I'm saying.
787
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:59,000
So I'm saying I'll take you.
788
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
And then maybe I'll actually go to this one because every year I'm like, we should go
789
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,000
to this one.
790
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,000
Okay.
791
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Yeah, let's do it.
792
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
We'll take the kids.
793
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,000
We'll go.
794
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Well, the boys want to go with spot to a scary place.
795
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,000
And I'm not doing that.
796
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
They can go do their scary crap.
797
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,000
And we can go to our fun lighthearted corn mazes.
798
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,000
And then maybe get some yummy food after.
799
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Okay, there we go.
800
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
I'm all about yummy food.
801
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:26,000
So corn mazes were.
802
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
You know, popular way back in the day.
803
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:35,000
I mean, they started on the 1700s, but they didn't become popular until many, many, many,
804
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,000
many years later.
805
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Do you think they enjoyed being lost all the time?
806
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:40,000
Probably.
807
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,000
This is, I don't know if this is true, but this is my theory.
808
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,000
So back when they had nothing to entertain.
809
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,000
So they decided it'd be good idea to just go get lost.
810
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:54,000
My theory is that lovebirds would go off in a corn maze to have their little rendezvous
811
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,000
rendezvous.
812
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:56,000
We sound French.
813
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
That's what I would do.
814
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
That's fair.
815
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
That's something I would.
816
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
You're bored.
817
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
I'm just thinking of teenage me.
818
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:05,000
That's what I would do.
819
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000
See, I'm just thinking how bored.
820
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Sorry, mom and dad.
821
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Clearly I said it now three times.
822
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
It's a good thing I was born when I was born.
823
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:20,000
But it was kind of considered an alternative form of art.
824
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
You can see it from the sky.
825
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
I can see that.
826
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,000
That part I can see.
827
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Like, like old English gardens did the mazes with their shrubs, bushes, things that attract
828
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,000
spiders and other things.
829
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Okay, really, why'd you have to bring that into it?
830
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Sorry, I mean, they look beautiful.
831
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
I don't want them at my house.
832
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
You harvest the corn.
833
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:47,000
And then it's a fun way to get rid of the stalks.
834
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Yeah, your stalks you put up on your porches and on your fences.
835
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,000
If you can.
836
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
I didn't plant any corn this year.
837
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
So that's fine.
838
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,000
But if you think about it, it is a really cool art form.
839
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000
It is.
840
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
I agree with that.
841
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Yes.
842
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
So, but they didn't have drones then.
843
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,000
So how did, how did they know?
844
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Did they have to just climb up a high tower and just...
845
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
They had airplanes later on.
846
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Sure, later on.
847
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
But didn't it start like before that?
848
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
That was 1700s.
849
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Yeah, but it, they did them, but they didn't become popular.
850
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Oh, until people could actually go up and see it.
851
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
And they're like, oh, okay, I mean, this makes sense.
852
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
Yeah.
853
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Okay, that makes sense to me.
854
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Sorry, I missed that.
855
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,000
One little caveat right there.
856
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I don't, I don't listen.
857
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
I was just kidding.
858
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:43,000
I think maybe I had sugar or something somewhere in my day today and I'm like, but hay rides.
859
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Hay rides.
860
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,000
I have, but here's my problem with hay rides.
861
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:52,000
I'm allergic to grass in all forms.
862
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:57,000
And if I do not take allergy medicine and I do not take a ton of allergy medicine to
863
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:02,000
go on said hay ride, it will be the worst time of my life.
864
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,000
I've never done one because I'm afraid of that.
865
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,000
I'm afraid of allergies.
866
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:10,000
So if I plan it appropriately, I'm good.
867
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,000
But it's fun, especially if you go with people that you know, right?
868
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,000
If you go with people that you don't know, then you're like, why, why are w doing this?
869
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
I think, but have you watched the office?
870
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Uh huh.
871
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:25,000
I always think of hay rides and Dwight and his hay rides.
872
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Oh, okay.
873
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Charging.
874
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
That would just make it more entertaining.
875
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,000
I don't see a problem.
876
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:37,000
Maybe you should go just to see if that happens.
877
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Charging leaves are ridiculous amount to just ride around the office parking.
878
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000
I just need, I just need it this way so I don't die.
879
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,000
But they started that way.
880
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:54,000
I mean, hay rides, if you think about it, they came about because the farmers, they have
881
00:37:54,000 --> 00:38:00,000
to get their hay bales from point A to point B as well.
882
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Make some money out of it.
883
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Well, they are making money.
884
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:06,000
But I need extra money.
885
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Well, yeah, because, okay.
886
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
And entertain the kids who are easily entertained.
887
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Don't open this rabbit hole.
888
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Oh no.
889
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:20,000
I think, I think the agricultural community has been shafted in so many ways throughout
890
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,000
the years.
891
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:26,000
I mean, what other , this is my only tangent that I'll go on and then I'll leave it alone.
892
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,000
I promise for right now.
893
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,000
For right now.
894
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,000
I'm sure it'll come up again.
895
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:36,000
But the fact that, what, in the early 1970s or something like that, they had like the
896
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:41,000
build, build to have big farms, industrial farms, grow these crops that we want you to
897
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000
grow and then they changed their minds on them.
898
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:49,000
So then the farmers were throwing away stuff because they weren't going to get paid.
899
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:55,000
And then we expect them to do all of this hard work, even just like on my acre and some
900
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,000
change.
901
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:00,800
It's a lot of work and we expect them to work super hard and be gracious enough to make
902
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,000
it affordable for us to eat.
903
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Yeah.
904
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,240
Like what other company or business do we say, I want you to, here's your cost and I
905
00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:15,000
want you to go below cost and make a life for yourself.
906
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
That, sorry.
907
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:23,000
That just makes me so mad that we're okay with telling people and a way of life.
908
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:30,800
We need you to continue to be in poverty so that everybody can have what they want and
909
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:37,000
the price that they want, no matter what it does to you physically, emotionally, spiritually,
910
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:38,000
et cetera.
911
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Yeah.
912
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
That's my soap box.
913
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
The end.
914
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I mean, it's a fair point.
915
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
It is a very fair point.
916
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
And there's some of the nicest people.
917
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,400
They will do anything for you.
918
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,400
Absolutely.
919
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,000
They will, if you're having a hard day, if you need help with the project there, the
920
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:03,400
first ones that show up, and last to leave, and I think they do not get as much credit for
921
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,400
that.
922
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,240
And I think that most people, oh, well, they're just, you know, country folk or whatever.
923
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:09,720
And it's not appropriate.
924
00:40:09,720 --> 00:40:10,720
It's not kind.
925
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:14,960
And we should be, we should know better, especially if you're taught to love one another,
926
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,960
like show that.
927
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:26,120
And on that note, one of the things we haven't talked about yet is pumpkin patches, which
928
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:32,600
are a huge deal around Halloween time.
929
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,400
You won't have your pumpkins if you keep taking their land.
930
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:36,600
You're not going to have pumpkins.
931
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,680
And pumpkin patches, I mean, farmers, they're farming pumpkins.
932
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:41,680
Excuse me.
933
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,200
Now, in this podcast, we need to say it pumkin.
934
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:46,200
They're pumpkins.
935
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:47,200
A pumpkin.
936
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,200
Remember?
937
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:49,200
Pumkin.
938
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:50,200
No, just kidding.
939
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,200
You say it however you want to.
940
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:52,200
I am teasing.
941
00:40:52,200 --> 00:41:02,840
I mean, farmers make a huge profit off of pumpkins or pumkins.
942
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:03,840
Just for you.
943
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:04,840
Pumkins and their pumkin pie.
944
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,840
I feel weird saying it that way.
945
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:06,840
Me too.
946
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:16,840
Like rural farmers and merchants began harvesting pumpkins with a purpose specifically for us.
947
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:18,760
Oh, yeah.
948
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,760
Because they recognized that.
949
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,960
Hey, I can actually get paid.
950
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:23,960
That need.
951
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:24,960
And that want.
952
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,960
It's not a need.
953
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:26,960
It's a want.
954
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:27,960
It's a want.
955
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:28,960
We don't need it.
956
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:29,960
No, we don't.
957
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:35,360
And so then they, you know, in the history of pumpkin patches, they began, you know, you
958
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:36,360
see signs.
959
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Like even coming down roads around here, you see pumpkin patch sign.
960
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,480
They're like just handmade sign pumpkin patches, you know, in turn right here.
961
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:51,160
And so they began doing these public invitations to their farms and they cut out the middle
962
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,040
man of grocery stores or, you know, whoever.
963
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,040
Oh, yeah.
964
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,880
And they just pocket the money.
965
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,960
You know, they just make all this extra money.
966
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:01,960
But you get it cheaper.
967
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:02,960
Oh, yeah.
968
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:05,840
You recognize that need and they'll turn their.
969
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:06,840
Farms into.
970
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,840
Great source. Better ones too.
971
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:08,840
Oh, yeah.
972
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:09,840
You have like, hay, rides.
973
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,840
Yeah.
974
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,840
The corn mazes is in the apple bobbin.
975
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:13,840
Pick your mate.
976
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,840
I'm kidding.
977
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:15,840
I'm kidding.
978
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:16,840
I'm kidding.
979
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:23,160
Their farms turn into this great source of entertainment and it's great for them economically.
980
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:27,760
And it's, I mean, it's great for us as the consumers.
981
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,400
Yeah, absolutely.
982
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:34,200
Just be respectful if you do go to somebody's farm on the flip side and you're picking up
983
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:37,480
these things, don't leave your crap around.
984
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:38,480
Well, yeah.
985
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,120
And be, I would hope that.
986
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:41,120
Be kind.
987
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,240
You know, they're doing a service.
988
00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:51,600
And what I've noticed, like living around here and stuff is the, the old mentality of
989
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:57,960
here's my product, pay me, you know, this amount and there is an honor code and that
990
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:03,320
is, that is a lost thing in this world.
991
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,920
So when you live in that environment, be respectful of that.
992
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,480
Don't be like, uh, so jokes on them.
993
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:10,480
Yeah.
994
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,480
Like that's not cool.
995
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:15,400
But it amazes me how many people actually do respect that honor code.
996
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:16,400
Yeah.
997
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,000
There are really good people around here.
998
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,000
Yeah.
999
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:21,760
I'm like around here, I mean, just in the world.
1000
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,240
Yeah, we forget about it, right?
1001
00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:26,440
We, sorry, totally just whacked my knee.
1002
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Oh, we forget about that.
1003
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:34,160
But talking about pumpkins, you can, my granny used to do this and then, um, Uncle Kelly,
1004
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:38,280
when we were up there with Aunt Debbie, he mentioned, I don't remember what he called it because
1005
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:43,680
we never called it anything maybe we called it pumpkin goulash because we're sophisticated folk.
1006
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:49,440
Um, but you, you take your pumpkin and you open it up and then you pull out all of like
1007
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,440
the innards, you know, the seeds and stuff.
1008
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:52,440
The guts of it.
1009
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,640
And you can take your seeds and then you, you know, if you put some salt on it, you
1010
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,640
have your pumpkin seeds.
1011
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,640
Yeah.
1012
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:00,640
That's a different thing.
1013
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,000
But you fill it up with what you want in it.
1014
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:09,960
Like, um, we always put like hamburger, like, you know, your carne in there and then you
1015
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:15,800
put like rice if you want rice in it, you put cheese in it, all of us peppers, whatever.
1016
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:20,000
And then you put it in the oven and you let it bake and until it's like squishy, right?
1017
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:21,000
Yeah.
1018
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Not brown because that's gross.
1019
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:24,000
You don't burn it.
1020
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,880
You just, you know, and then the sides are soft.
1021
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,640
And so when you're pulling out all your stuff, we pull out part of the pumpkin and then you
1022
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,720
have that like a little bit of that gourd-y taste to it.
1023
00:44:35,720 --> 00:44:37,720
I don't know if that's a word, but it's a word now.
1024
00:44:37,720 --> 00:44:38,720
Gourd-y taste.
1025
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:39,720
I mean, because it's a gourd, right?
1026
00:44:39,720 --> 00:44:40,720
Pumpkin gourd.
1027
00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:44,840
Um, and mixed in with all of that yummy stuff.
1028
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:45,840
It's really good.
1029
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:46,840
You should try it sometimes.
1030
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,840
That sounds amazing.
1031
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:48,840
But he reminded me of it.
1032
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:49,840
He reminded me of it.
1033
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:53,280
I was like, oh, now I need to buy a pumpkin.
1034
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:59,960
So speaking of pumpkins, we can close on this one, but I found a really fun fact because
1035
00:44:59,960 --> 00:45:05,400
I was Googling fun facts about, uh, autumn activities in Oregon.
1036
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,880
There's a city and correct me if I'm wrong because you know Oregon cities.
1037
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,640
I was like, oh, how to pronounce this.
1038
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Tu- Tu- Walletim?
1039
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,640
Tu- Walletim.
1040
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,640
Tu-alatin.
1041
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:16,640
Uh-huh.
1042
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,440
They host the West Coast giant pumpkin regatta.
1043
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:20,440
Mm-hmm.
1044
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:21,440
Mm-hmm.
1045
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,440
And they have a giant tracer.
1046
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:24,440
Oh, my Lord.
1047
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:28,800
Racers dress up in costume and they carve out giant pumpkins.
1048
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,480
I think I've seen that.
1049
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:37,000
And they race across the Tualatin lake in their pumpkin, their pumpkin boats.
1050
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Which I thought was so cool.
1051
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,000
Yes.
1052
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:41,000
I think that's where they got, okay.
1053
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:46,560
So, total interjection and I'm so sorry because I'm ranting all over the place today.
1054
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:47,920
Um, but okay.
1055
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:49,440
So I love Good Witch.
1056
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,440
It's one of my go-to shows.
1057
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:58,800
And there is an episode where, um, the doctor who's married, I don't know if he's married
1058
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,440
to her at this time, but I think so.
1059
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,800
Cassie Nightingale's the main character.
1060
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,800
But they do, uh, yeah, they're married at this time.
1061
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:12,200
And they do this obstacle course kind of thing, marathon thing.
1062
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:17,040
And one of them was the pumpkin that they carved out and they had to race, and he got a leak.
1063
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,360
And you're like, oh no.
1064
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:26,480
I just, I was trying to picture these just rowing across the lake in these pumpkins.
1065
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,480
And I just think it's so cool.
1066
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,480
I kind of want to go and do it.
1067
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,480
I think it'd be so cool.
1068
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,320
Well, let's first see if we can find a pumpkin big enough.
1069
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:36,320
Big enough.
1070
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:39,800
I'm like, do we just tie them all together?
1071
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,280
It would make it pretty cool.
1072
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,560
I mean, I just raft it out.
1073
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:47,800
Just, there are so many fun fall activities, they're endless.
1074
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:52,960
And the just something that I think is really interesting is all of these, no matter what
1075
00:46:52,960 --> 00:47:02,160
it is, they have this common theme of they started out where they were practical.
1076
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,160
Yeah.
1077
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,360
They were, whether it be the corn maze is where they're growing the corn cuz you
1078
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:12,640
know, because they're needed or the apple trees are harvesting the apples because apples
1079
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:19,320
are needed or whatever it is, or the pumpkins because they're growing the pumpkins and they're
1080
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:20,320
Harvested.
1081
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,320
Yeah.
1082
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,320
All the corn seeds.
1083
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:23,320
All the corn seeds.
1084
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,640
A long time if you store them appropriately.
1085
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:29,240
So this is like for them to live on for the winter.
1086
00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:30,240
Yeah.
1087
00:47:30,240 --> 00:47:37,200
It's literally these farmers, everything starts out as practical and they all have over the
1088
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,200
years.
1089
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,600
How do we make this fun?
1090
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:44,040
Yeah, they've evolved into fun activities.
1091
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,640
I don't think people really think about that now.
1092
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,640
It's all fun activities.
1093
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,640
No, it's just what you do.
1094
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:50,640
Yeah, it's just fun.
1095
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,640
It's not.
1096
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:56,400
Or what you don't do because you don't know and then you just.
1097
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:03,320
Every single one of these are, have evolved into these fun, lighthearted, fall activities.
1098
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,240
Family, friends, people that you care about, bring them in.
1099
00:48:07,240 --> 00:48:12,720
And they don't think of the livelihood association behind it.
1100
00:48:12,720 --> 00:48:17,560
I just thought it was that we've capitalized on.
1101
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:18,560
Yep.
1102
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:24,360
Unfortunately, it is a lot of life these days.
1103
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,960
But I just thought that was really interesting.
1104
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,960
Yeah.
1105
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,840
Well, and it puts in to a different perspective.
1106
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:36,720
Like I'm not going to say any political brand, any political system is has its goods and
1107
00:48:36,720 --> 00:48:37,720
its bads, right?
1108
00:48:37,720 --> 00:48:38,720
Yeah.
1109
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,520
But we're just human beings trying to have a human experiences in some ways we can do
1110
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:45,680
things better than others, right?
1111
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:53,320
But I do think sometimes the focus is so much commercial that we do take it out of our brain
1112
00:48:53,320 --> 00:49:00,960
of, oh, this cow that I'm, this meat that I'm buying was a cow or this meat that I'm
1113
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:06,360
buying was a lamb and it had to be somewhere and somebody took care of it.
1114
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:14,600
We forget those links and yeah, it just kind of helps you slow down a little bit again.
1115
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:15,600
What's that word again?
1116
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:22,280
Fall helps us slow down and take things into perspective and make them, you know.
1117
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:30,200
And on that note, because we like to end on a challenge, right?
1118
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:31,200
Yeah.
1119
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:32,200
Yeah.
1120
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,200
Yeah.
1121
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:39,240
I think that we should challenge our listeners.
1122
00:49:39,240 --> 00:49:40,320
I think so.
1123
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,640
To slow down this week.
1124
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,760
Slow down, maybe take care of themselves a little bit, make a, maybe do a bath.
1125
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,480
A little bubble bath.
1126
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:52,920
After you go for, you know, a walk.
1127
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:59,600
And enjoy the, you know, if you have, because the leaves have turned already here.
1128
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:03,520
I don't know where everybody else is if they've already done their turning
1129
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:05,520
But you still, we still have some evidence.
1130
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:06,520
Yeah, we still have some.
1131
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:10,160
You know, take a walk and enjoy the fall air.
1132
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:15,240
Even if the leaves are down on the ground, maybe just like you're saying, like breathing
1133
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:23,040
the fresh, crisp air that doesn't have that sweltering heat in it and just let things
1134
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:24,040
go.
1135
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,040
Yeah.
1136
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,040
Find one of those leaves that just stands out to you.
1137
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:38,280
And then you can get all artsy fartsy, put it in paint, dab it on things.
1138
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,440
You know, when you were kids, I can't remember what it is.
1139
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,440
You'd like make press it between two.
1140
00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:43,440
With the crayons?
1141
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:44,440
Yes.
1142
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,440
Crayons?
1143
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:46,440
Yes.
1144
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:47,440
Yeah.
1145
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:48,440
On the wax paper.
1146
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:49,440
On the wax.
1147
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:50,440
I was like, what is that paper?
1148
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:51,440
With the iron.
1149
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:52,440
Yeah.
1150
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:53,440
The iron.
1151
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:54,440
The iron.
1152
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,440
But with me being sick this last week, and I really had to slow down.
1153
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,040
And then you made me realize that I've got to take time for myself.
1154
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:04,000
And so I think that we need to take time for you this week.
1155
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,760
So that's our challenge for our listeners this week.
1156
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,600
Take time for you.
1157
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,600
Take a walk in.
1158
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,280
That's not you and your kids.
1159
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:15,400
That's not you and your husband.
1160
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,400
That's not you and your friends.
1161
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:17,400
It can be.
1162
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:18,400
But I think also you.
1163
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,960
It also needs to be you.
1164
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,520
Because all those other things are great and you can make time for those people too.
1165
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,800
Take time for your family of course.
1166
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:28,800
But take time for you personally.
1167
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:32,600
If you're not charged, then you can't charge other people and you can't receive from other
1168
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,800
people if you're empty.
1169
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:35,800
Like so empty.
1170
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:38,120
You're just out.
1171
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:42,720
So I'm going to one up and say take time for you specifically.
1172
00:51:42,720 --> 00:51:43,960
I love it.
1173
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,320
Even if it's five minutes.
1174
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,280
Start with baby steps.
1175
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,400
Five minutes at least.
1176
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:51,400
Yeah.
1177
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:52,400
Okay.
1178
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:56,120
So that's delicious apple cider.
1179
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:57,560
I'm already like sip it.
1180
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:58,560
I'm done.
1181
00:51:58,560 --> 00:51:59,560
In your bath.
1182
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:03,200
Make a yummy bath with a yummy candle.
1183
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:04,200
Did you drink this?
1184
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,200
Okay.
1185
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:09,160
So my grandma used to take, she would put like a little bit of water in it and she would
1186
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,080
make like these little.
1187
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,960
In the bath.
1188
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:14,880
Like little pot things on the stove.
1189
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:15,880
She had a wood stove.
1190
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:16,880
Oh.
1191
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:21,640
And like one of her places she had like a ceiling that was a tin rough.
1192
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,280
And we would listen to the rain because it was an organ right.
1193
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:25,560
So it rained all the time.
1194
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:29,800
Not on the eastern part, but I was on the western part in the valley.
1195
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,960
So we would listen to the rain on the tin rough and she would take one of her kettles
1196
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:40,400
and she would fill it up with like cinnamon sticks and all of us yummy cloves and apples
1197
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:43,800
and all of this stuff and throw it on and just let it warm.
1198
00:52:43,800 --> 00:52:44,800
And it would just.
1199
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:45,800
You wouldn't do it in a kettle.
1200
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:47,040
We would just do it in an open pan.
1201
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:48,040
That works.
1202
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,040
And I do that sometimes too.
1203
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,040
Just to get the.
1204
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,040
Yeah.
1205
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,040
I do that.
1206
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,040
Get your house smelling delicious.
1207
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:54,040
Cozy.
1208
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,040
Make some cookies.
1209
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:56,040
Yeah.
1210
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:57,040
Do something for you.
1211
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:58,040
Not something.
1212
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,040
And then eat the pie.
1213
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:00,040
That's that.
1214
00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,040
Something for you.
1215
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:06,040
Make your kids go to the kitchen.
1216
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:10,040
But speaking of challenges, how'd you do on last week's challenge?
1217
00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,600
Why am I trinket on?
1218
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:12,600
So do I.
1219
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:18,000
And I wasn't good about posting it on the post that we sent out to everyone.
1220
00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,000
So I will update it and put it on there, my little tiger ring from my grandma.
1221
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:29,680
And then for my house, I have everything together to put it on, which will be the rest of my
1222
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:30,680
day today.
1223
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:31,680
Sweet.
1224
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:32,680

1225
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:36,280
Well, I don't do spooky, but I'm gonna spoof up my house.
1226
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,000
We have pumpkins on our porch.
1227
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,000
Oh, nice.
1228
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:43,440
I see people with pumpkins on their porch.
1229
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,000
We have raccoons in our area.
1230
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,000
So that's my hand.
1231
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,000
So it'll be a cut out on my window.
1232
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,000
I have two pumpkins one for each of us.
1233
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Hey, there you go.
1234
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,000
There you go.
1235
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:56,000
Yeah.
1236
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,000
So I'll just put four on our window.
1237
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,000
There we go.
1238
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:04,000
And then we can do like a different colored, like we can do ghosts and make you guys ghosts.
1239
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,000

1241
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Pumpkins and ghosts.

Cool.
1245
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:12,000
We've met last week's challenge.
1246
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Yeah, I think so.
1247
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:21,000
And I, I have my beads, perhaps my wooden beads and the bling beads for my spruce up
1248
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000
the place so people know that we're gonna hand out candy if they can knock on my door.
1249
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,000
And we still have another week ish.

00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000

00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,000
But yeah.
1259
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:41,000

Take time for us.

At least take time for you.
1266
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
If you can't go out and be in nature.
1267
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Breathe it.

00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Park.

00:54:58,000 --> 00:54:59,000
Or sit on your porch.
1272
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Sit on your porch.
