Christmas Lights

 










Not to make the last post too long, here are a few of the 200 or some photos we took on our drive-thru Christmas light display this year.  Totally worth the cost, and I'm thankful we could do this vs. a walking tour.  It took about 1 hour to drive all the way from beginning to end.  Great display. 

What goes up, must come down.  Holiday decorations are slowly being taken down and places in piles here and there.  Soon enough, it will be placed back into storage for next holiday season.

I hope to get around to reading updates on your blogs soon.


Today is a holiday for some, but a regular work day for others.  Tonight's dinner will be a new recipe - black-eyed pea cabbage soup.  I have a new biscuit recipe to try soon, but when I am up to it.  I hope and pray your new year is a good year.

Those look like some great Christmas lights. We took a drive around tonight to see a few lights, but it looks like most of them have been taken down already.
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy

Anne in the kitchen, it was a first drive thru Christmas display for us. It was perfect timing, as we got right in, but I had heard the wait to get in was about 3 hours.

Betsy, It's one reason I still put a basic light display up outside for us. I feel it's very cheerful to see.

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

I've Been MIA and Heat Wave

First day of July.  It's hot.   I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon.  Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive.  We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember.  So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days.  Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about  77 degrees.  The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week.  No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat  wave).  I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now.   Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest.  The last two stalks were harvested June 29th.  The longest asparagus season we've ever had.  They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

Organized yet?

  Over the last 20 plus years, my baking utensil drawer and my smaller kitchen drawer were a piled mess, due to the space in the kitchen.  I'm so glad I was limited to indoor work (while my eye regains better sensitivity to light), as I dumped both drawers and purged them.   We allowed kids to move back in, after moving out (something my own Mother would not allow me to do as a young adult), and they brought their belongings with them.  Belongings often included kitchen items, and without my knowledge, they filled the kitchen drawers with extra items. Our local schools are doing a contest for a thrift store.  Each school is collecting donations, and they are weighed for this collection contest.  I have filled two boxes of items to donate, that are extra here, or not used any longer.   I wonder what other stuff I'll discover? 42°F this morning (feels like 40°F).  High of 74°F.
