Bittersweet Mothers Day

Mother and me

My sister, Sue (she is the baby) and me. My Mother made these dresses. Aren’t we precious!

My Mother was celebrating her 92nd Birthday here.   She was a beautiful lady and a wonderful mother.   She has been gone one year.   I miss her so much.

A New "Big Bird"

Remember all those sweet little bird photos I took during the snow?  Well, I made these from the same window today.  Wow!



I had my camera lens poked thru the blinds.  I was so afraid he would fly before I could focus.  I think he was looking for my “sweet little birds”.



I guess I was in shock!  We have bird feeders that my mother always enjoyed watching ( our sweet, little birds) from this same window.






Stan(my sweet husband) says this is a “chicken hawk”.  His prey is chickens, small animals, and “sweet, little birds”.



Oh, dear…

Angels and Empty Pots

We had about two hours of glorious sunshine today!  Angels and empty pots everywhere!  I wonder….could these angels fill these empty pots???
This sweet thing is actually a little lamp.  See her wick on her halo? 

Surely she can handle these two pots?



                                                            Praying always helps!

                     



I think this precious thing has allergies. See him rubbing his eyes?



                     I believe in  angels….so we’ll see.

The Very Best Cornbread!

A tutorial for “the best cornbread” ever!

These are your ingredients: 




First, I cannot imagine making cornbread in anything other than an iron skillet.  (Just sayin) Preheat 
oven to 425.  At this time put skillet (with 1 T. oil) in oven.
1 cup of self-rising cornmeal  (Martha White or White Lily)
1 cup buttermilk….must use buttermilk! 
1 egg
2T canola oil

Mix with spoon...



Pour into hot skillet. Bake @425 until brown.





I always flip the pone over when done  Slice and serve straight from the skillet.  All you need now is some real butter!


Sooo good!
