Wintery Drinks

I am bubbling over with fall festiveness as the weather begins to cool. though it's only a fraction of what I wish. I want to wear my booooots, and scarf, and hat. Though I am not looking forward to scraping ice off my car and sliding down hills while in my car. Anyway...I am getting my research done for that fateful day that is to come when I need to snuggle in a blanket and drink warm stuff. While in search, I came across this article about warm sugar-free drink ideas-since we must be low-carb to fit into our nice sweaters. This is the link.
Top 5 Low-carb beverages

The link above includes DaVinci syrups, of which I am well stocked in all my favorite flavors already (you can find them at World Market and often TJMaxx. However, it informed me that they also carry tea concentrates which I didn't know about.
The other thing that was cool was the Big Train Mocha No Sugar Added Blended Ice Coffee. It's a pack of 25 individually wrapped mocha blended iced coffee mix packets for $24.35 at Amazon.

Visitors!

The parents and niece and nephew came to visit:

And Caris found a friend in Greta

(she is between princess dresses at the moment)

We tried to go pet the animals at Yellow River,

but when we got there it was closed for flooding.

So, we fed the deer our crackers and carrots through the fence,

as did everyone else that showed up,

and went and played at the playground for a minute or two.

...which it appears was flooded last week.

Some parts looked better than others.
