Peaches For Free

Last week we were given A bushel (over 50 lbs) of New Haven peaches from Michigan. I had to work fast since they were pretty ripe. I was able to can peach and basil jam, peach jam, peach butter,peach syrup and sliced peaches. Took me three days to get through them and only ended up throwing out a handful that were too ripe. Everything turned out delicious. We will see if it even lasts past Winter! But, oooh! The taste of Summer in the next couple of seasons get me really excited!

Chicken Scratch~ Birthday Blessings

I celebrated my 45th candle with a couple sweet gal pals this week. They took me out for lunch, then took a little walk over to a coffee shop and had chai tea and a brownie. It was a lovely few hours spent with them downtown. Later my hubby and daughter surprised me with cards, jelly beans, flowers and a cute red truck garden stake, and an awesome dinner at The Texas Roadhouse where we had melt in your mouth bbq baby back ribs, mashed poes and sweet corn...Hmmm Hmmm. It was a great birthday this year! Along with many wishes via online, texts, emails and calls...I felt very loved!

The Lord has blessed me beyond imagination and expectations. 

Praise Him from whom all blessings flow!

Feedsack

I'm a sucker for the colorful fabrics of yesteryear...Especially when it comes to feedsack prints and bright happy prints on linens. These beauties will be found in upcoming bags/purses. I love the Dresden's with different prints...So playful! Can't wait to get it all out of my head!
