A Small Bouquet for the knitting space table


When the flowers are in bloom I like them to be near ....this spot is where I sit and knit...(Weaving has kind of put a halt on that for a time), I like to get a whiff of the Gardenia's they smell so Divine.. kind of relaxing ..their scent will over power the other flowers in the vase ..and I only needed one in this vase so close, can you see it? it's right in the center of another white Hydrangea. One is enough..sometimes the scent will give you a slight headache (if you have allergies).

Another Bouquet of Flower pictures to cherish


Waiting to see these flowers bloom seems it takes forever...then when they do bloom they only stay for a little while....then by the time the cold winter winds blow , you almost forget that they even existed...then pull out the pictures on a cold, rainy , dreary day..Drool and try to plan more flower babies for the coming Spring!

Pretty Bouquet one side


They are all so pretty and taking pictures is one way of keeping the memoy alive during the winter months when they are all gone.....but witch side is the best ?

Special Cukes?


Cecil is just about fit to be tied....these cukes were in a pack and the pack was marked "Special for Salad" (so he says,bet he didn't read it)) I didn't see the pack ,but I'm sure it will be the last time he plants them...When I told him I was putting them on the Blog, he said "Spread them out a bit so they look better" (Ain't that much spreading in the world)..by the time you peel it you might have a mouth full ....He won't bother with them, but I will and I'll add some mayonnaise (which he doesn't like to do, he adds vinegar) to them by the mouthful and have a good time with them..

Here's a nice Fat White Onion sweet as can be



Yesteday I made some Zuccini and it was so delicious ...we ate it up just tasting:o)
Cecil was overjoyed that it wasn't "hard" as he thought it might be...he has just been a "Squash Man" all his life until yesterday's tasting :o) hehehe I now cook better than his Mama did :o)! However she could make a mean (that means good) "Sweet Potato Pie" and gave the recipe to me and I passed to my children and one passed to her Son (who does a pretty good job of making it). I made extra money making sweet potato pies once for a company my daughter worked for but I couldn't keep up with the orders for the next year...(burned out my little two oven stove).
thought about going into business with it , but going into business is more than a notion...Been therem=, done that , Twice. Family and Friends and Credit are bad business partners....

Start of making Zuccini with Onions and mushrooms


These Zuccini's are Garden Fresh (sorry but not from my "Amost an Acre" farm....but from a friend who has more than an acre and no one to help him eat the Harvest :o) I feel sorry for him but Hooray for me ...I made some yesterday and Mikey ate them up so fast I'm making more today!

All Gone Zuccini it was delicious


I added some mushrooms (in the can) and of course my special seasoning Emerils Cajun spices is good for everything, and a fingertip of crushed Habenero pepper and garlic that I keep in a jar in the fridge to use as I please and it lasts for a good while.....Haberno pepper has a distint taste compared to the other peppers.
