FRESH PINEAPPLE....and a new gadget......


I am linking up to 'Your Cozy Home Party' hosted every Tuesday by Shannon at Cozy Home Scenes. Check out her blog for more great 'cozy home' posts!

Nothing is better in the dead of winter than fresh pineapple...


My husband rooted tops of other pineapples by placing the tops in soil....







A new gaget, at least to me, is a pretty red pineapple corer...very easy to use....perfect slices every time....

        Bon Appetit!

Edited to add:  During the winter the plants are moved into the green house.

Let them eat cake!


Would you care for a slice of coconut cake?

This one takes about 10 minutes to make.




First you find a plastic salad mold at a thrift store for 25 cents....next brush on my friend, Elmer....then sprinkle liberally with bagged Christmas snow.
           Voila!
A beautiful Coconut Cake...with absolutely NO calories!

Signs of fall around our home...



A few signs of fall around our
home...cooler weather, the farm machinery humming around the country side, the white cotton fields ready for harvesting, peanuts plowed up waiting to be picked for lots of my favorite food...crunchy peanut butter!

BTW...I've known for sometime that someone is following me and you can see that someone in the third picture down.  She steps on the scales behind me when I weigh adding additional pounds...she saps my energy when I'm not paying attention and many other things I'm sure she's responsible for...do you have such a person in your home?

Happy Fall YALL!   GOD BLESS!

Remembering 9/11............Tenth Anniversary

CONTINUE TO FLY HIGH AMERICAN FLAG

 




My thoughts and prayers are with the families and friends who lost so much on 9/11, 2001...
In New York City, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania...

Families who lost moms, dads, brothers, sisters, children, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, cousins and beloved friends...

They have not been forgotten nor replaced in the hearts of those who loved them dearly.

God bless you...
