new try

I haven't posted here in over a year due to problems trying to upload photos. So will try again and see if it works.

Spring is here. We have had 2 days of 80F temps. All our fruit trees are in full bloom.

Our hawks have returned and think Mrs. Hawk is sitting eggs. I haven't been able to get a photo of her yet.

The trees are putting out leaves. We had to replant our pea patch as we had so much rain lately that they either rotted or washed away. The rains thinned our lettuce as well.

 

We took a drive between rains and got a good shot of a spotted eagle. He looked drowned.

The rivers and creeks are back down in their banks. We were really fortunate and did not get the flooding that others did. We had a tornado to touch down on a lake near us. Noone hurt.

 

 

Due to so many problems uploading photos here, I've decided to change to Wordpress. Here is the new blog site.

switching to different blog

I have had so many problems with blogger that I've decided to just change blog servers. I will post new addy here when I change.

still problems with posting photos????

I now have windows 10 and wondering if this is the problem with uploading photos here? Going to try again.

trouble posting

Seems I have been having trouble posting here. I will come back when blogger has fixed itself.

Yahoo group challenge vote

I am owner of a yahoo group. I used to have 3 but gave them over to others. One was a huge hand stitching group that had members from around the world. I missed it after I left so instead of just hand stitching I started a group that could make anything..called hand made artisans. I also did a facebook group with same heading. You can look it up on Facebook and send a request and I can add you. The yahoo group addy is:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/HandcraftArtisans/info

We do challenges in this group every so often and we just finished a bird challenge. Here are the entries. If you want to vote for your favorite then leave a comment in the comment section.

Bird #1

Bird #2

Only vote 1 or 2. Mine is not entered as it was the display bird and made a few years ago. But here is mine

We will be starting a new challenge again soon.

Food

We have been blest. In all the summers we have taken veggies and fruit from our garden and given to friends, we have never had anyone to bless us back until yesterday.

Seems our neighbor works for Nabisco and he brought us a big box full of 13 different kinds of products. So what a blessing.


I've been working on making spaghetti sauce. My first time ever to make any and I jarred up 6 quarts. I had 7 but we used one to try it out today at lunch and it is yummy and so much better than store bought.

I'm now making another batch.
