Strawberrys Galore!!

While away Memorial Weekend, we hit a local strawberry patch to pick some berries.

In total me, Wayne and Anna picked 16lbs of wonderful, red berries!!




We made four straberry pies and 24 jars of jam, then froze the last 5 lbs.






The jam making was super easy, although I do think I should have made many more jars of jam! :)

Blessings

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early..

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.
