A FALL DAY...

Hello everyone.. It is real Fall like here today..

The sun is shining and it is warm but you still know that Fall is in the air..

Terry brought home a ten pound bag of beets the other day so I decided that I should get at them..

We put them on to cook on top of the stove (I sometimes cook them in a roaster in the oven if there are a lot).. Then I just cook  them until they are tender..

I peeled them and they were already to do..

Beets are one of Terry's favorites but he is a diabetic and should not have very many.. Putting them up in a syrup is just asking for trouble.. smile..

So last year I decided to freeze some and see how they would turn out.. And they turned out wonderful...

We just heat them up and add butter and vinegar or I make a

 BEET SALAD..

I sometimes add purple onion and basil or just parsley and lemon..

Whatever..

I just thought you might like to know that you can freeze them..

I packed them in plastic bags and will put in a separte container so I can find them.. smile..

So much easier than canning them if you have freezer space..

I froze a couple other packages earlier but sweet hubby does not think we have enough yet...

Later, maybe..

It was also a lovely day to bake a loaf of

NO KNEAD BREAD

This time I left out the rosemary and just made a plain big loaf...

I also played around outside with some birdhouses..

Poor Terry is wanting to do some painting and wondering how he is supposed to paint around this stuff... grin..

I am sure where there is a will there will be a way.. right?

I repotted my plants and put them back into the sunroom..

I brought up a few herbs from the cottage to try and keep over the Winter..

The plants do so well outside all Summer while we are away and I don't need to worry about them getting watered as it is shady most of the day back there...

Sorry about the quality of the above pics..

And to go with the bread..

Homemade Chicken Soup ... perfect way to end a Fall day..

Hope you are all having a lovely one, too..

Thanks for the visit and welcome to the new readers..

So glad to meet you all.

Looking forward to hearing from you, too..

May God bless and keep you..

Hugs..

A touch of Fall...

Greetings one and all..

Hope all is well in your part of the world..

Today I put a few Fallish touches around the kitchen.. Still plan on doing a bit more but am busy getting back to normal.. smile..

I thought you might like to know how to make the little swaggy thing that is there on the wall... Nothing could be simpler and you can also hang it crosswise like across your mantel instead of diagonal like this one..

I had bought some fake gourds awhile ago..

I just took a long piece of homespun fabric and tied it around the stem of five different gourds and then tied the homespun with loops on each end..

It kind of adds a nice touch....

I don't add a lot just a speck here and there..

I think this centrepiece could use a bit of work, though.. smile..

A little pumpkin on top of an old scale..

And what was for lunch?  Potatoes are new and much cheaper now so this is one of Terry's favorites..

Fry up a bit of bacon then add onions,garlic, green peppers and new potatoes, salt and pepper..

A good bunch of fresh parsley thrown on top at the end and some fresh lemon juice..

Delicious...Just don't eat them every day.. smile..

A pic I took on the way home from the cottage the other day..

I was thinking that on the Road of Life I am so glad that Jesus Christ is my GPS...

He is the Way...

I will get where I need to go if I just read His instructions and follow Him..

God Bless...

FARM FRIEND FRIDAY

TITUS 2SDAY

Happy Friday Evening....

Hello ladies.. How are you all ...

I had said last night in my posting that I wanted to get some Fall decorating done today..

Well, you know what they say about the best laid plans... smile..

This morning first thing my dear hubby (whose birthday is today.. grin) brought in a huge bag of these..

These were the half ripe ones which we love just the way they are for sandwiches and such..

But most of them were ripe so I made a huge pot of this..

Fresh tomato soup for the freezer...

And then the birthday guy had some company come out to wish his Dad a happy birthday.. smile...

And he wanted to visit HIS dear little dog.. Sammi..

Sammi is always sooo glad to see Dustin...grin..

Anyway, when Dustin  comes home I start cooking for him..

A loaf of homemade bread and a big bottle of strawberry jam and his favorite.. a pot of fried rice to take back with him.. smile..

Anyway, I eventually got down to the bottom of the drive to this tree..

We call this a Pepperberry tree but I really don't know the proper name..

The berries are very nice for decorating..

A nice orangey red color...

Well, while I am snipping some off it starts to pour rain..

Great... grin...

I head back to the house..

Sammi thinks I am a bit slow and decides to scratch his itchy ear..

grin..

The sun is out up there.. Crazy weather....smile..

I looked over towards our fields and look what I saw..

Isn't that beautiful sight... Our God is so faithful..

He is still the same as the day the very first rainbow appeared..

What an awesome God we serve... ..

Then it is back to the house with a big handful of branches and I got started on this..

The kitchen windowbox...

Is that the phone I hear...

Yupppp.... Dear boy left his jacket here with his bankcard in the pocket so we drive over to the Big Stop to meet him halfway..

And now it is too dark to do anymore..

Tomorrow, Lord willing we head back down to the cottage to do some closing up chores...

So I  guess I will need to do the rest next week..

For now, I need to go and make my Sweetie a nice treat for his supper.. He got into the homemade bread earlier and was not hungry until now..

Gotta go my dears...

Love to you all..
