I thought those flowers were Queen Ann's Lace! That's amazing.

As for c...Hi Linda, thank you for the sweet visit. As for canning I learned to can tomatoes last summer and this year I am doing much more, but all with the help of You Tube. It is a good feeling being able to not just eat from the garden in the summer, but to eat from it all year. It was very intimidating at first and when I watch a video, I watch it three or four time before tackling the task. So far, so good :) I'm excited about getting to know you better and do hope that you will visit again and follow me back. I have met the nicest people through blogging:)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-17595948262651608742017-09-10T21:20:32.867-07:002017-09-10T21:20:32.867-07:00Hi Connie,

I just popped over quickly before I head off to bed to say hello and check out your blog. I love to repurpose too! I am in awe of all your canned goods....that is one thing I have never tried! I find it intimidating. You apparently have it down to a science! Happy belated Birthday! You received some lovely gifts! Have a wonderful week and I will be back. Following you too!

And the beautiful potholders. Recently, I've been making pot/pan rugs --a little bigger than potholders-- to provide landing places on my new Formica countertop (which doesn't like hot pots.) An excuse to add a different kind of warmth to my kitchen. ;-) Carrot flowers! Beautiful in the sunshine and in the dark below ground. (Must be a sermon there.)

It's still a little strange to me thinking about the seasons being the opposite in the Southern Hemisphere, but I do enjoy getting out of the snow in the winter by touring the gardens of my SH blogging sisters. So I've been told that canning is called bottling in the UK. What do you call it? I kind of like the term bottling, after all we are putting them into glass jars. Thank you for your sweet words concerning my projects, I do appreciate hearing them . . . they are all a lot of work, but work done with love and a happy heart :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-76886806815034586332017-09-09T08:23:07.284-07:002017-09-09T08:23:07.284-07:00I've experienced finding old fruit trees along...I've experienced finding old fruit trees along hiking trails and old abandoned homesteads . . . free for the picking. They never get sprayed or pruned and cared for, but sometimes still grow amazingly delicious fruit. When I was a kid playing in the woods in Indiana, once in a while you would come across a huge old apple tree and I always wondered if it could have been planted by Johnny Appleseed . . . it's very possible, that was part of the territory where he roamed :) Don't you think that, that his is a sweet legacy to leave behind and be remembered for?

I would love some open shelves like that. How fun to display it all right there! I would love a Kitchen aid mixer too for making my gluten free bread. I tried my bread machine but it didn't turn out too well. Real gluten free bread is something I have as yet to attain (homemade). Happy Birthday to you too! Ours are close together.. mine was in late June. Steve's wooden bowl is gorgeous. How fun for a man to find a hobby. I'm still trying to get mine to find "something" to do besides sit at the computer most of the day! He says he wants to work with wood and has some tools still in the boxes! A girl can hope though. Our weather is cooling down a little bit too.. only in the 80's now. I notice one night next week will get down to 37! My flowers are all fading and looking dried out already. Interesting about the Queen Anne's Lace... it always grew in huge amounts when I live up in Washougal, WA (east of Vancouver, WA).. and I've taken many of photo of it as I love it's intricate look. I just discovered a neighbor who has a plum tree and they're ripe... so I get to go over this weekend and gather them ALL up.... I'm going to make plum jam! Yum. I used to gather wild plums years ago up by Washougal. It must have been an old orchard as there were many plum trees wild along a gravel road. You guys are sure going to town on your canning! Glad you are enjoying it so much. Take care and have a nice weekend.... hugs..

How special and I know you will have lots of fun getting to know her. Your hubby is so talented making that bowl for you. That is special too! Thank you for mentioning my blog! I love your cheery kitchen with the reds and blues. How could anyone stay blue working in a kitchen like that. Way to go on all your canning. I get an F in that department this year! Queen Anne's lace is so pretty but it is about done in this area. Have a great week-end.
