Bruschetta

"October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight and the enduring constellations above them once again. " (author- unknown) We have had more sunny days in October with temp in 80s then ever..... !! I loved it ...walking barefoot on the neatly manicured law ....watering my chrysanthemums ( they got dry that's how warm it was).  I love October as much as I love summer ....the changing colors and a little nip in the air oh so perfect....it has been extra special with the warm sunshine....did I say i am spoilt !
The last weekend was fun packed with birthdays and parties spending time with friends. I Love it when I am in the company of good food and great friends. Friends ......who love you for who you are and you are just comfortable with them..!! This one is for - MY FRIENDS - giving me constant encouragement for everything I do or want to do. I know you guys love bruschetta :) :)
