From my kitchen

 These past few days has had me busy in the kitchen with it being rainy, windy and cold from Thursday last week till today. By Friday the radio man is sayin' it should warm up. I hope... The rain was much needed though. I kinda always figure God made rainy days so that outdoor girls could get there housework done. My kitchen's not near perfect but it suits me fine. :) Below is a family recipe that requires no baking but is delicious! It's a summertime favorite.

1 cup white sugar
1 cup peanut butter
Combine in a pot and bring to just a boil.
Stir in 1 tsp vanilla
Add 7 cups cornflakes
Stir until cornflakes is coated
Drop by teaspoon full onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet
Cool and Enjoy!

Everything Growing

The beginning of August was filled with nursing a sick horse, camping, and wedding decorating.
I can never get over how fast things grow once we get heat. In July, my garden looked pitiful and now its practically overgrown. God has blessed us with a bountiful harvest again this year!









Our dog Ace lives the best life :) I think anyway.


Stuart is BBQing for supper. He is the best!


My little sister came over for the week!



She's a darlin'

Stuart and I decided to move our fire pit area a few days ago and now he is landscaping to make it happen!
 I'v learned that once he has his mind set to do something it doesn't take him long to do it. Even if I lost the keys to our skid steer the day before and he has to make a morning Portage run just to go pick up another set of keys. (Sorry Hun) He was good about it though. Gotta love him for it!
