Most farmers around here talk about Harvest and how life seems to be put on hold while they finish up the last few acres of wheat. I feel that way about canning season, I just think things are under control and some one gives us veggies or we find some cucumbers that have hidden in the grass from us. Not wanting to let anything go to waste, we clean, cut and can. We call all of this blessings. Even the mulberry jelly that is very liquid will make great pancake syrup. Yummm. Rich purple syrup with the taste of summer enjoyed while the wind and snow blow outside.
We are going to see if our son will deep fry a turkey for a group from our chuch the end of Sept. It went over great last year and I am kinda tired of hamburgers and hot dogs.
We put together one of those outside fireplaces on legs, last evening. I think it will be fun to sit under the carport and be able to see the fire and maybe find a couple of granddaughters who want to roast marshmallows over the coals.
I better go and check the last of the potatoes. The canner is cooling down and I thought I heard the pressure valve click.
Take care and let the Lord be your guide!

Canning Season
Saturday, August 15th, 2009Gosh, June 1 already…
Monday, June 1st, 2009Time flies when you are having this much fun!
We have lots to do lately. Richard is working on the yard, it looks great! The garden is growing and so far he is keeping ahead of the weeds. We have a volunteer crop of something out there that looks like Zucchini… oh my… I was hoping for cucumbers. So far the grass is green and not needing too much water. We have threatned to plant garden instead of grass. Plans are pending for the fire pit but smores are on the menu and so we better get it done soon.
Fishing has been great for us, Travis and the girls came over and we caught several trout, one catfish and a wiper at John Martin Dam down by Lamar. We had a great time and tried out recipes on how to cook the fish. Jen made a great tartar sauce and it was delicious with the deep fried catfish and wiper. We can’t wait to go again soon.
Vacation Bible School starts at our Church this week. I am not very involved but help with some of the food, and printing some of the things for the classes. With doing the bulletin each week for services, it keeps me pretty busy.
Richard’s business also keeps us busy. We sell soap. I always wanted to say that. lol. We also sell vitamins, makeup, and have partner stores to shop from.
Logan Little Dog is doing great, we took his flea collar off of him and he recovered quickly from his illness. He was just lying around with no appetite, no energy and had shivers with no temperature. We took him to the vet but we didn’t know what was wrong, still don’t but I think the collar was too strong for him.
I found an engraver on ebay and it arrived the other day. I enjoyed doing the awards and trophies years ago and would like to do it again. Waiting for the letters to show up and some of the plastic to engrave on.
Went to a family get together Sunday in Holly. It was nice to see everyone. I think Richard has the best looking family ever!
Getting Ready for the Cheyenne County Car and Bike Show on June 13. We are having a Youth Division too. Lots of gifts and the goodie bags are great too.
Don’t forget to praise God for all the blessings you receive!
