Things round here #4

We have had rain, wind and warm temperatures. But that will soon end, going to be around 24 Sunday morning. Brrrr!

The leaves are falling like crazy so are all the acorns and hickory nuts. The squirrels attacked our one and only pecan tree and stole everything. Dang democrat squirrels!

Our good neighbor Mr.Farmer came up one day and raided the dumpster provided by the builder, he cleaned out all the scrap wood thrown out . A few days later he returned with this beautiful bird house made out of the wood scraps.  I Love it!  This past weekend Senior  mounted it on a wood post and put it near the garden where we will be able to see it from the new house

The boys and I made a trip to the public library yesterday. And I found a book I have been wanting to read. From what I understand the movie is being released the day before the Iowa primary. 

Sorry that I am short on words today, but I" ve reading to do. I hope you all have a great weekend...stay safe out there..

Canned butter..and other stuff

 I have been trying to get to this post for a few days now, but every time I sit down to type..something happens and I have to stop. So here is attempt number 1000

First off..an apology: I was watching "Jimmy Kimmel Live" last week..because I think his monologues are really funny. And saw where Julianne Hough a" Dancing with the Stars" judge was going to be on. They announced the contestants for this current season..one of them was Sasha Obama. I commented to Harry and Sandy about this over the weekend, and I tuned in Monday to watch..only No Sasha Obama..  I searched and searched the web for an answer, and other people who heard that announcement was just as perplexed as I.
I can only assume that it was a mess up on the part of Kimmel, or Secret Service scrubbed her competing due to security concerns...  oh well.

Now, on to other things... Everyone else has been canning butter, so Senior and I jumped on board this past weekend with it as well. I found a really good recipe for it: End Times Report-Canning Butter. The one thing I liked about this recipe was it did not need pressure canning or a water bath.
So It was very easy to accomplish.

The folks over at ETR also have a good recipe for canning hard cheese such as cheddar. One that we will most likely try out this weekend.

We have had lots of rain here since Saturday...our garden is a nightmare. But, weather is turning cooler and I had to go dig out the boys "Winter Wear". I say winter wear but really coming from Florida to these parts it is more like "Fall Wear" . My Neice is also in the same boat, moving from Florida to PA. She awoke Tuesday morning to 45 ldegrees...She is a true Florida Girl, and all ready missing the warmth. Plus every thing is gas there, so she has to learn how to regulate her heating usage. It's going to suck for her this winter.. 

School is almost out for the day, so I am off here to go fetch the kids..  Have a good day everyone!
