Good Morning.

Don't that sound good." Saturday Morning. " now let's take advantage of it and try to get a little extra rest this weekend. Try to get our mind refreshed and be thinking about something worthwhile. All that we see around us is going to soon pass away, as one of our hymns says, " Change and Decay in all around I see ; O Thou, who changest not abide with me. "

Do you want sugar and cream in this Dunkin' Donut coffee this morning, or do you just take it black ? It sure smells good and I am ready for my cup. Let me pour you a cup. And the Teais ready for all of you that want it.

PS - I still haven't tried the Dunkin' Donuts coffee because I haven't found any yet, but I'll still looking! Every time you mention that coffee I find myself craving a doughnut

This comment that I received this morning makes me sad, why don't these super markets " wake up and smell the coffee.". DAD

RECORD RELICS INTERESTING....I hope that you can visit my friends soon, they have a lot to offer you, just tell them that Dad sent you and they will let you in. DAD,

I do not usually tell jokes, I leave that to my son Jim who writes TennesseeGranddady which you can see up above. And I don't really like these blonde girl jokes. Dad...

Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again.

An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting in to your work, but I don't get it -- why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?"

The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick."

Herbs: Rosemary (and Recipes)

Tags: chicken, Container Gardening, recipe, rosemary

By Cindy Naas

Rosemary is a perfect choice for city gardeners who have some room on a porch or balcony, since it is one of the herbs which really should be grown in a planter.

Rosemary is too tender to be left outside in the winter in most of the U.S.

It also makes a beautiful indoor plant in the winter, filling your home with the spicy-fresh scent of rosemary.

Growing - Rosemary needs a fertile yet well-drained soil. I use an extra handful of manure added to my container potting soil mix, and I line the bottom of the pot with small rocks. Water fairly often, letting the soil become nearly but not quite dry between watering.

This plant will not thrive in constantly damp soil. Grow in full sun. In regions with late summers/early falls, place small stones on top of the planter soil to retain heat into the evening.

This will allow the essential oils to become more concentrated, at least according to my elderly Italian neighbor who grows perhaps the finest vegetable garden I have ever seen.

Harvesting - Rosemary is used in fairly small quantities. Using scissors, snip off ends of branches. Peel off the needles or snip the needles directly into your recipe. Rosemary doesn’t keep as well as some herbs, I always pick it just before I need it.

Recipes: Here are a couple of really good uses Read the rest of this entry »

Good Morning.

The week is passing swiftly by, and I think that we have done fairly good so far. We sure don't want to mess up now. So let's get out of that bed in a good humor and a great big smile. What could be a better start than that. As you see by the time above I am a little later again this morning and I feel like that it is helping me to do this once in a while.

Picture by Dad. Clouds were plentiful yesterday afternoon. I like this one, I see something in it.

Edible Flowers (and Recipes)
Tags: chive, edible flowers, Nasturtiums, pansies, recipies, rose petals

By Cindy Naas

Adding brightly colored blossoms to a fresh garden salad is nothing but frivolous.

And fun, and something I love to do.

After seeing the price of freshly packaged edible salad flowers in the grocery store, I’m glad I plant a few kinds in my own garden.

Here rre a few which are easy to grow, pretty in bloom, and that make a great addition to your salad bowl:

Nasturtiums - These are probably my favorite edible flower. They have a spicy, peppery flavor which goes well with bitter greens such as romaine and arugula. They are also Read the rest of this entry »
