Remember to thank God for the freedom that we share and the ability to do what we like, go where we'd like, and to live and love like we want.

Just about he whole month of June it rained. Farmers are having a hard time with crops . The fields are filled with water tractors can't get on its a mess. We have such a short growing season too begin with. The hay crop some don't even have first crop in yet do to rain. Here at the farm My garden not doing so good have replanted cucumbers again. Also have pumpkins -squash-cukes started over in the greenhouse.. I have to grow them enough so the rain and beetles do destroy them. Ray has put new fencing up for the goats Mike and Blarney are doing just fine. Mike just got banded a few days ago he is doing fine. And Blarney lost his band a few days ago and he is doing great. Ive been keeping myself busy trying to mow and garden and yard work between rain .. I've also doing some craft work. Today I have a busy day we are having my brother and family and maybe my parents over for a bbq tomorrow. I have baking and cleaning to do.

Thanks Blessings Sister Brenda The new Transformers Movie.Posted on 2009-Jul-2 at 07:38 by Lisa - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkLilli and I went to see the new Transformers movie yesterday. It was really really good and we both enjoyed it. When it was over, she said, "Optimus Prime is my favorite Transformer". I had to agree, that he is my favorite too. It was very cool watching them transform on the big screen. I know that makes me a dork, but I really did enjoy it ;) Of course, I used to watch the cartoon when I was younger, so to see it on the big screen...well, it was cool. From a mom's perspective...be warned that there is a lot (LOT) of bad language and more sexual references than in the first Transformers movie. A Morning WalkPosted on Thursday, July 2, 2009 at 7:26 AM by Kitty - 1 Comments - Post Comment - LinkMorning WalkAmidst the dew of early dawn, I took a morning walk. And along with me, I took a Friend, For I felt a need to talk. I unburdened both my heart and soul, And spoke many things: Of plans gone wrong, of failure's pain, And how to live with shattered dreams. My Friend just listened quietly, And uttered not a word. For it was His time to listen, And my time to be heard. His sympathetic ear brought peace, As we walked this earthly sod. And I learned to trust life again, On my morning walk with God. Poet, Barbara Cagle Ray I think I'll take a long morning walk.......Kitty Dogs and Burgers Cupcakes info ~ recipe and picturePosted on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 10:30 by haflinger - 2 Comments - Post Comment - Linknow this has to be the cutest cupcake I've ever seen with so much detail..

No BBQ is complete without hot dogs and burgers. No grilling necessary!
1. For Hamburger: To build the hamburger, start with an upside-down vanilla wafer. Add a dab of icing to attach the Grasshopper cookie, then a squirt of yellow icing, a squirt of red icing, a sprinkle of tinted coconut, and 2 thin slices of a green gumdrop for pickles (optional). Red, White, and Blue Delight ~ recipe and picturePosted on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 10:24 by haflinger - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkNow this looks really good and very simple to make.. Packed with kid appeal, this culinary nod to Old Glory, from cookbook author and FamilyFun contributor Ken Haedrich, is made by layering strawberry sorbet and vanilla and blueberry-flavored ice cream in a loaf pan, chilling each layer until it's firm. Served with homemade blueberry sauce and fresh fruit, it's a sweet, summery ending to any Independence Day meal.

1. Combine the blueberries and the water in a medium-size saucepan. Partially cover the pan, then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Continue simmering the berries until they begin to break down, about 2 minutes. Stir in the sugar and cook the berries until they become soft, about 1 to 2 minutes more.

Popcorn Cones ~info ~recipe~picturePosted on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 10:20 by haflinger - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkA movie night just isn't complete without popcorn. Single-serving paper cones and a popcorn seasonings bar allow viewers to customize their snacks. Got the link here: Blessings Sister Brenda
1. To make one cone, roll a piece of 12-inch-square scrapbook paper into a cone and secure it with tape. Trim the top to make it flat. Bend the cone's tip up about an inch and tape it in place. For a lid, make a second cone using a piece of 11- or 10-inch paper; after sprinkling seasonings on the popcorn, fit the mouth of the smaller cone over the larger one and shake the popcorn to distribute the toppings. Cajun: Combine 1 teaspoon each of paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder; 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, and salt to taste. Cinnamon and Sugar: Mix 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Italian: Combine 1 teaspoon dried parsley and 2/3 cup grated Parmesan with 1/2 teaspoon each of dried oregano, dried basil, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Add salt to taste.
