housekeeping

What is hse doing you ask?  Is she actually cooking a pit of rags? If you knew me well you wouldn't doubt it's possible, but not today.
Sometimes it's the little mundane things that make a big difference.  From time to time I take all my discloths and soak them in boiling water with a splash of bleach.  Yes I said the "b" word.  I don't use it often, but sometimes it just makes me feel better.  I don't believe most things in moderation are bad unless you make it so.  After it soaks there for several minutes I rinse and wash.  Now I take them out and they smell like kitchen cloths should smell, not last weeks turnip greens or spilled milk. and they feel clean not grimy.  Now it's all good!!

A "GLOOPY" winter day

It's a gloomy, sloppy winter day here in central Louisiana.  I just call it "gloopy".  It's not good for much of anything important.  Think I'll just enjoy a cup of cocoa and bake something.  I might find time to look through a few seed catalogs.  Happy January everyone!!

getting it all wrapped up

This is the bow I made from wrapping paper.  I love how it turned out!  Now I have a use for all those extra pieces that are too small for a package.  thank you Pinterest!

Happy Thanksgiving

We all enjoyed our Thanksgiving turkey, even the turkeys that roamed the yard unaware.  They were very thankful that we got ours from the store

It's Pumpkin season again


I decided to start the new Autumn off with a new tradition.  I made my first ever Pumpkin Soup.  Since I have never even tasted it, I didn't know what to expect.  I added homemade croutons since everything is better with buttered toast. ( not necessarily)  I was pleasantly surprised!  I ate far more than I had planned since the rest of my family thought I was nuts for eating pumpkin in something that wasn't meant to be sweet.
It did help to have a pot of Mustard greens and cornbread on the stove too.
