Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing? We're in the dog days of summer. It's been so hot & humid. I worked on homeschool lesson plans & got Grands set up with pen pals. School starts back after Labor Day, so it's still a while yet. I had some thoughts, did some research, put things in my Amazon cart & typed stuff in the Docs folders. Kevin 
put up peppers & blackberries & worked on a job clearing for a house site. He cooked us some good burgers on the grill. The tommy toes have been coming in. I made a tator tot casserole that I make about once a year during this time. We ate on it for several days. I got the recipe out of a magazine years ago. Crab a coffee or your favorite beverage & I'll share the recipe with you.

Ray Steven's squirrel in the
church was at the lake.
 

This one was made with ground wild hog
because that's what I had on hand & I didn't
have any bacon. It was so good. Be sure to
add plenty of cheese.

We got one tiger lily bloom. 






I assisted Daughter with Summer Day Camp
 to an amusement park. This is inside the Wacky
Factory. It was mortifying with zombies,
a blaring train whistle & these wacky lights.

These are some of the things that's been going on in my neck of the woods, how has your week been? Go out & have a wonderful weekend.

Weekend Coffee Share

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing? The 4th was a joyful summer day. Daughter & Grands came over, Kevin got the pond going & I got some tattoos. We ate leftover hotdogs & watermelon for a few days. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & tell me how your summer is going.

Happenings on the Homestead in the Appalachian Mountains

Hello there Adventurous Friends & Family, greetings from Georgia. How you doing? Happy 4th of July! It's my birthday month. The spider lily surprised us with blooms. Moma gave us the bulbs & couldn't remember which color they were. We did some yard work this week & made several trips to the dollar store. We needed new house numbers along with laundry detergent & dish soap. We went on a couple trail rides, did some walking & had picnics. The summer homeschool projects this week were making peanut butter cookies & dissecting owl pellets. I assisted Daycare on a field trip to the aquarium. The kids got so excited seeing the sharks. I'm still in vacation mode enjoying my souvenir coffee cup. After the 4th of July celebrations, I'll be ready to put up the fall decorations. Grab a coffee or your favorite beverage & we'll walk around & look at the daylilies, they have been so beautiful this summer, then we're going to have a hotdog roast, maybe eat a slice or 2 of watermelon, sit by the creek & watch Grands play in the water this weekend.
