A Trip to Johnny's

Yesterday was a warm soup/stew kind of day....rainy and cool. The kind that makes you crave the comfort of a good steamy bowl lunch, and I was in the mood for brunswick stew. Now once I cooked up my own batch of home-made brunswick and it was quite tasty, but it took me all day to make and I did not have that kind of time, so I hopped in the car and headed to a local favorite.....

The sign really does say it all. On any given day, except Sunday and Monday, you can find people from all over town here during lunch time. They come in their suits and ties, heels and skirts, uniforms, and jeans and boots....quite an ecclectic grouping. All there to enjoy the best BBQ around.

Out back in the smoke house is where all of the Magic happens.....

Yes, you eat it with a plastic spoon right out of a styrofoam container. It ain't fancy (nor is it environmentally friendly), but Lordy Mercy it is GOOD!! I couldn't finish it all, but I certainly gave it my best shot. I left feeling toasty warm and completely satisfied. YUMMMMMY!

On a completely different note~

Miss Sadie got her stitches out. Except for a large scar and the patch of shaved fur, she is looking like her old self again and this morning as I was scratching behind her ears, she was happily trying to catch my hand and nip at my fingers, up to her usual feisty tricks, so she must be feeling much:-) Thanks to all who stopped in to wish her well!

Rainy Morn'

It has been almost a month since the last drop of rain has fallen here, so this morning as the outside world is absorbing every drop......

I sit her contentedly hopping from blog to blog, visiting old friends and making new ones, wrapped in my favorite old sweater as I drink in my own form of sustenance...... Cinnamon flavored Coffee:-)

I hope your day is peaceful and blessed....

Rhonda

Poor Kitty

Before.....

After....
My poor girl, Sadie is recovering from a run-in with a large rogue dog:-(

Hopefully her stitches can be removed tomorrow and the itchy wrap can come off. Then all she will have to do is wait for the fur on her right side to grow back.

Bless her she looks soooo pitiful.

A Little of This 'n That

So...my trusty farmhands and I raised a fence, a tasty crop of veggies and a beautiful brood of chicks this summer
After that, we needed a break..... So we packed up and headed to the beach:)

The rest of the summer I spent look for a job. I found one at the last minute. I headed back to teaching and my little one started Kindergarten.

"Yada, yada, yada", thirty-one days later I resigned and transferred my son to a different school. OK, I know the "yada, yada, yada" isn't fair, but I'm not ready to talk about it yet. Soon....

Changing Gears

It has been a very long, whirlwind of a summer.

Sure, I've got lots to talk about. But I really just want to go and see what you guys have been doing.....Anybody got coffee? I could use a good cuppa.

....and no, the discs are not really moving... COOL, huh?

Sunny "Hello"

A Sunny "Hello" to all!

A couple of weeks ago, Ann at Georgian Dream ask for some updated photos of the garden. Here is a little tour of what's happening now......

The potato plants are blooming and the onions are getting thicker and taller.


The peas are very prolific. I haven't cooked any yet....I pick them, shell them and eat them right there on the spot:) And the chickens love the empty pods!


This is the first year I have grown lettuce. It has surpassed my wildest dreams!

Wish you guys lived closer, we could have a salad bar luncheon!

The only negative is that it's gotten so hot that my Spinach is bolting....oh, well, I'll try again when it cools down in the Fall.

I found these little miniature petunias, they are called Sunburst. Quite cheery, huh?

I've still got a million and one things to do, but I've missed you guys!!
