Ketch-Up Day


 

How are you? How's your weather? Done anything fun and exciting?

We got some rain last night. Woot. Woot. The crepe myrtle loved it, as did the rest of the trees and plants:)

 


AND

I made mulled apples.

They are super easy to fix. 

Recipe: Mix a tsp of cinnamon, 1/8 cup of sugar, 1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp of lemon juice, and a dollop of red sweet wine (optional). Stir it in a crockpot on low heat. Add 3 or 4 cored apples and a handful of pecans, stir until the apples are coated and let simmer for about 45 minutes.  Done and done.

 


 AND

My daughter and son-in-law got me an indoor garden:)


AND

I've shown this before, but for anyone who does laundry and doesn't have to cart it up and down stairs, this is such a time and back saver.  We use laundry carts instead of hampers.  We keep one in each closet, throw our dirty clothes in them, and on laundry day wheel them to the laundry room to wash and dry then fold or hang the clothes on the rod and wheel them back.  It makes life so much easier.

Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Keeping cool? It's averaging over a hundred degrees daily here. The poor plants and outdoor critters are panting. I keep a a bowl of water on the steps for any critter meandering by. 

Are you getting rain? Even when it's forecast here, it usually goes east or west of us. I guess I'm going to have to step up my rain dance;)


 AND

Since my interests are rather limited (heh), here's some more Eternal Garden pics:






I wanted a shot that included the crepe myrtle behind us. It's gorgeous.
 
 
Hark! What's that I hear? The pitter patter of rain drops and thunder boomers. Others must have been doing the rain dance too. 

Have a grand one, Blogger Buds.
