Cowboy Blueberry Pie
I made this one with some of my home canned blueberry pie filling. A neighbor invited me down for tea this morning so I took it with me. It was delicious! I think I’ll tweak the cookie cutter a little bit next time so it looks more like a boot. I’ve tried to make good […]
My Best Pie Yet
I thought it was almost too beautiful to eat! We did eat it though and it tasted almost as good as it looked. It was Strawberry Rhubarb. I wanted to get the bags of strawberries and rhubarb out of the freezer so I made more strawberry jam and made up some pies to freeze. I […]
How I Clean My Couch in 60 Seconds
This is part of Works for Me Wednesday. I picked up this handy “dog hair remover brush” at Walmart (eww) probably over a year ago. With 4 dogs and a cat in the house I am always looking for alternatives to those disposable sticky rollers. I really hit the jackpot with this one. The label […]

Fried Eggs
Had a nice time outside tonight… fed the horses, weeded in the garden for awhile, went out and did chores. I gathered the eggs and put them in the front pockets of my scrub top. I was just finishing up and grabbed for the chain to close the gate. Little did I realize that when […]

Brian called from the barn to say that if I wanted a good Sunday Stroll picture I should go out on the porch… stunning. Too see who else is strolling today visit Quiet Country House.
