Great Neighbors
by Seasonsgirl
It’s great to have neighbors like we have… you can depend on them, trust them, and you can bless them if they let you… This evening I went over to visit one of our neighbors. I could see him out in his garden. He is in his 80’s and currently struggling with lymes disease among other things. He isn’t getting around as he used to so … Read More Great Neighbors
Sundays List…
by Seasonsgirl
Today I had a long list of things to do and like all lists I only got a few of them done. Each activity I attempted took longer then expected and my migraine did not help. So today’s list has become Sunday’s list. I am going to the early church service tomorrow which will give me some time to do more on my list … Read More Sundays List…
I Can… Can Jam
by Seasonsgirl
I finally got around to making my grape jam… I only got these five jam jars after it cooked down, but that’s okay. I only had a pot of grapes and just added sugar and pectin. I hope they taste as good as they smelled. I had to keep hubby and his brother from sticking their fingers in the pot for a taste. Luckey … Read More I Can… Can Jam

So my next project is canning applesauce, pears, and making jelly from the grapes I peeled and got the seeds out of the other day. I get so excited to try something new with … Read More Weekend words…

Joy of the front porch
by Seasonsgirl
A phone photo today. The boys were enjoying the front porch and the breeze on this hot day. The chicken is healing and her feather’s are returning. I am hoping by next week she can be back out with her sisters full-time. We think she lost her sight in one of her eyes during her attack and is having to learn to see with just … Read More Joy of the front porch

Second, Baxter has moved from adolescents and into young adulthood as he is listening better and following directives from all family members. Third, my client’s have not been too bad this week allowing me some time to get … Read More Thursdays Ten Blessings…
Tips and Chicks Monday
by Seasonsgirl
We got some more rain yesterday, thankfully without a storm or wind. The garden and the flowers all seemed to enjoy the rain. The chickens also didn’t seem to mind as it cooled things of a bit. One of our “girls” seemed to know the rain was coming as she ran and hid under the bush as soon as she heard the thunder then when it was … Read More Tips and Chicks Monday
