I am happy it is September, and I know fall is coming because my toad lily is preparing to bloom. These buds are growing larger, and cascade down the leaf fronds. I have three pots of toad lilies in a three tiered stand. There are going to be a lot of blooms this year. The …

Visiting an Apple Orchard and Quilting
It's been a busy week, beginning last weekend with the Apple Festival. I went to an orchard on Saturday, hoping to get some more great shots for the Agriculture category for the fair. I did get a couple that might work for next year's competition. These are just a few of the varieties of apples …
Piddling. Just piddling.
Oh, finally, it is September. First day of meteorological Fall. Tomorrow the Apple Festival begins, and I am looking forward to the unofficial start of the autumn season in our small town. On the veranda, I have one last dahlia that has bloomed. It was time to cook the weird squash, the only one that …
Bacon Wrapped Goat Cheese Chicken
After I made the roast chicken and goat cheese dish that replicated a local Italian restaurant meal, I had some of the garlic and herb goat cheese left over. With some boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the freezer, it seemed a good time to pair them together for another meal. The boneless and skinless breast …

Celebrating Independence Day
It's a hot weekend here to celebrate the 4th of July, but an anticipated short afternoon rain may cool us off for the fireworks tonight. It is expected to be in the mid-70s later. We haven't decided if we will go downtown to the Music on Main concert before the show like we did last …
Sunday Chat – Blogging, Cooking and Shopping
Boy did my post on Thursday touch a nerve for a lot of us. With over 50 comments in just a few hours, it is clear that most of you love blogs still. Several commenters asked me not to stop blogging, and I want to assure you that I fully intend to keep blogging. I …

Japanese Style Chicken Meatballs
With the price of food rising almost daily, I've been looking for new recipes to use less expensive cuts and ground meats. Ground chicken is still economical, but I didn't have a good idea on how to use it. Then I got the Milk Street World in a Skillet book, and there was a great …
