Cooking Up Cucumbers
We've been experimenting with new cucumber recipes, and tried this cold pasta salad. It's great with onion or with radishes.

My Possibilities Book ~ A Place of My Own
As I sat in my kitchen and looked out the window, I realized that the big barn will gone in the near future. I'll no longer see it out my window when I am cooking, baking, washing dishes, canning and such.
I'm contemplating where I want to build a place of my own. No kids allowed. Kind of like a man has a "man cave."
Possibilities are a room in the new barn, screening in or building around the patio off my bedroom, and a wall tent. There is the possibility of a trailer or camper or cabin too.
Very possibly, I could put in a cooking area as well.
I think I'll start a page in my "possibilities" book and start putting positive ideas into it.
In the meantime, I'll enjoy the view from the kitchen window, and possibly set my easy-up tent back up. Shhh! Don't tell the kids.
