the last few days...


good evening everyone... 

do you know this is the second time that i am doing this posting.. 
i had it all finished and went to correct a spelling and the whole thing disappeared.. sigh.. 

so i guess you will get the short version, now.. 
probably for the best anyway... smile.. 


i will just share some pics of the last few days with you.. 
a bouquet of daffodils...
from you know who...


something i look for every time we drive to Sussex...


a wonderful mother's day spent with our dear family... 


a gift of rhubarb from a sweet neighbor.. 
ours is not ready yet... 


making a loaf of bread to thank them for the rhubarb ...


and including a bottle of jam.. 

the recipe is HERE for my Mom's recipe..


our tea time... 


oh, those dear sheep...


soaking apricots ....



to make a huge batch of apricot rhubarb jam.. 
it tastes kind of like marmalade...


trying out another new rhubarb recipe.. 
oriental rhubarb jam... 
good with pork or chicken, i am thinking...
i made thirty some jars of jam today... smile..


thank you for all the sweet mother's day wishes.. 
hope you all had an awesome day, too.. 

we have a full week planned. 
terry is putting a new roof on the old farm so i will likely be going out there with him...

by the way...
did you know that Jesus can be your everything?..
 and  when He is your everything then your everything can do anything...
that is a little statement made by Rev. T. F. Tenney on a tape I listened to today..
so true... 

blessings dear friends.. thanks for dropping by...

  10. I can smell that bread from here- LOL... on a day like today I probably eat the whole loaf :) How frustrating when the computer doesn't act the way it should! Did you try to push the "edit undo" button to see if you could get your words back? THat's the first thing that I try... my laptop must be related to yours! LOL

  11. Now I am inspired. I have oodles of blackberries in the freezer waiting to become jam...maybe after I get the gardens shaped back up.

    Good luck with the roofing...long, hot, strenuous work. Tell Terry to be safe and wear sunscreen!
