An ordinary day...

Hello my dears..

How are you all doing? 

What a beautiful day here in the Maritimes... 

Terry was out and about cutting down some limbs and gathering them up.... 

See how the grass has greened up ... 

Later on in the day he had the little tractor out doing the garden.. 

He generally has a lovely one.. 

Veggies galore ...

 Last year, the garden did not fare well because it was so wet and he was working away some plus we were at the cottage ... 

We did manage to get lots of tomatoes and such, though.. 

My main thing is to have lots of cukes, tomatoes and green beans..

And lots of herbs, of course, but they are my responsibility... 

Last year a sweet friend gave me a lot of basil which is my favorite herb to eat..

I really hope to get a good supply of my own growing this year.. 

It needs to be planted here as the beds at the cottage are not good for basil for some reason...

The canning season is almost upon us here... 

The fiddle heads are out so I have heard and the rhubarb is coming right along.. 

I need to make dandelion jelly then apple blossom and Queen Anne's lace jelly.. Oh my... 

Today, I cleaned my kitchen and family room ... The counters and cupboards all needed a through going over and the floors needed done again.. 

I also worked on some little prizes and such for our Keepers Meeting on Saturday... 

These two old cups are on their way to being pin keeps.. 

We are meeting tomorrow night and setting up tables and making a few favors and centrepieces for our Mother's Breakfast.. 

That should be fun... 

This afternoon some friends phoned and said they were dropping in... 

 I thought they would be here for Supper so I peeled and chopped these up... 

Potatoes, carrots, turnip, red onion and whole garlic cloves... 

Don't peel the garlic.. 

Dry the veggies well then sprinkle on some salt, pepper and dried Italian seasoning... 

Drizzle on some olive oil and mix well with your hands and spread in a tray..  Roast in a 350 degree F. oven...

Discard the garlic or save them and squeeze onto some toast...

We really like root veggies done this way..I  marinaded a few pork steaks and put them in the oven at the same time.. 

A nice salad and supper was ready... 

The only thing is that our friends didn't show.. 

I guess there was some miscommunication going on.. smile.. 

Oh well.. next time.. 

It is evening here now and the kitchen is darkening.. 

Time to make my evening tea... 

In my favorite cup.. smile..

Lots of things to work on... 

I was sitting beside my grandson the other Sunday and I noticed he was reading the book of Exodus... 

Now I am reading it through again.. smile..
