COTTAGE KITCHEN

In a well-furnished kitchen there are not only crystal goblets and silver platters, but waste cans and compost buckets---some containers used to serve fine meals, others to take out the garbage.
Become the kind of container God can use to present any and every kind of gift to his guests for their blessing.
" You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies." Psalm 23:5

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE


The rhubarb is ripe and the strawberries were bought so I made my first of the season strawberry-rhubarb pie. I am still struggling with the thickness of the filling. It is too runny..guess I will have to keep baking untill I get it right. The weather is beginning to change, 84 today and my air isn't working. This winter it was the furnace and stove. Oh well..I will have it fixed by the time the real hot weather arrives. It will be around 90 on wed. but then cool back to 70-80 for the rest of the week. I really need to get back in the garden and get things planted. Night time temps have been low but this week looks like it will be ok to plant. Now if I can get Hunter to cooperate and let his grandma work in the garden we will be set. It is getting hard to carry him around everywhere but I am not sure if I really want him walking yet. He manages to get into everything as it is but I will enjoy it while I can they grow up way to fast.
