"A Beautiful Month"

Putting on a pretty face . . .

clock face that is :)

 

  

 

Two of my dearest friends  

moved out of our neighborhood this week.

In their downsizing, they gifted me

with this gorgeous clock.

In my on-line research,

I've discovered that it was 

probably made around 1890.

During the depression when he was 

around 12 or 13 a man came to his father's 

Union 76 gas station and asked if he would

take this clock in exchange for 

a tank of gas. 

I love a good story . . .

there's more to it than that,

but I have a lot of photos to

share today . . .

 

On the home front . . .

I dried tomatoes for the first time.

 

 

 They are so pretty and I ended

up with this gallon jar 

filled to the brim :)

 

 

I also visited a local orchard

and purchased apples.

 

And proceeded . . .

 

16 pints of applesauce :)

 

 

This quilt was made as a group

effort by me and four ladies

in our Thursday quilt group.

It was a going away gift 

to the neighbors that 

gave me the lovely clock.

 

 

Another thing that I did this month

was move my sewing from the barn

to the house.

A girlfriend helped me put

up a design board.

 

This is my first project on it :)

 

 

To finish off this blog post

I'll share some photos from 

A Farm Fall Festival

that I attended with a sweet friend

this month.

 

 

 

This is my friend Rebecca

and her lovely companion

Lorraine :)

 

 

 Beulah and Lorraine 

have become playmates :)

 

 

My final photo in this post.

Is this not the most unique 

mailbox you've ever seen?

I drove past it and had to turn

around and go back to take this

photo.

Thank you for visiting,

I just want to say  . . .

with all the wars and rumors 

of wars going on in our world today,

remember to keep Jesus close 

and know that He loves you.

 

Faith is stronger than Fear,

put your trust in Him and Him alone.

God bless you,

your blogging sister,

Connie :)

 

Full Time Gardening

 

 

That's what August feels like . . . 

Gardening all the time.

 Today's post is mostly photos.  

 

Of course that includes harvesting . . .

 

 

 

 

 

And canning.

 

 

Also, baking for the freezer 

 

 

and enjoying fresh meals

from the garden.  

 

 

I also had a lovely visit

from my youngest

and may I say beautiful

granddaughter.

They're all beautiful :)

 

  

 

 Look at these two sweet carrots . . .

One grew two arms just so it

could give the other one a 

Big Hug!

Do you know someone that 

could use a hug today?

Even a phone call that says,

"I Care"

Do it, it's a wonderful thing. 

Until my next post . . .

remember to put God first.

God bless you all.

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)

Relaxing Sunday

 

 

I love Sunday mornings . . .

 and truly like to get ready for

them the day before . . .

 

Getting clothes laid out.

 

 

Planing my meal . . .

 This time that met going

to the garden and picking greens

for a salad.

 

 

I have baby Romain lettuce

growing on the front porch

in a pot placed in a shady corner.

 

creating my salad mix I added basil

 

 

lemon balm

 

 

red lettuce & parsley

 

as well as chives.

 

 

 I plan on mixing this green mix

with grapefruit tomorrow

along with balsamic vinegar dressing

for a light lunch.

 

 

 Today I also cut some rhubarb  . . . 

 

 

And put up Rhubarb Sauce for winter.

 

Sunday is a nice day to relax

and forget about chores.

 

Romans 12: 9-14

 

I great day to gather with friends

and praise the Lord together.

Maybe even get in an afternoon nap :) 

 

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday,

whether you spend it at church, 

gathering with family, 

camping . . .

whatever you're doing . . .

May God bless your day :)

 

Thank you for stopping by.

Your blogging sister, Connie :)
