Of long walks and Cookies

So... Sherry came over today and we baked 2 kinds of cookies and bread. And being the nice people that we are we decided to share our goodies with a few hard workers out on the cucumber field.

How hard could it be? Bring a plate of cookies out to the field <shrugs shoulders> Well we arrived and looked around and saw a familiar vehicle and figured it had to be close so we parked and got out of the car and started walking. Well we came upon a cucumber field that had about 5 machines on it, and as we looked further we saw another large field... well if anyone has ever seen a cucumber machine they all look extremely similar... so began our trek to find the right machine and deliver our cookies... We should have drove... half an hour later after trekking through the mud and humidity at the far corner of the far field we found them! We delivered the cookies and chatted and began our trek back... an hour after we arrived at the field, we left... goodness all to deliver cookies! But we got our exercise... and a few other peoples :)

And just for fun we made a cookie for my cousin


Well thats all for now! Getting ready to head out for the weekend with my husband for a company fest!

On a New Adventure

Baking Soda, Water, Vinegar, and Vanilla.... That is the start of my new adventure!

"What?" you may ask "do these have in common?" Well :)... These are my new hair products! 
Please note the word "Adventure" which according to dictionary.com means:
"a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome."
And that's exactly what this is! I have no idea what it will do to my hair, but hey, life is short and hair will grow back and it will take a long time to go bald.... hopefully :)

I found the directions or recipe, whatever you want to call it here. The headline read 
"A Non-Toxic, Frugal Way To Wash Your Hair Without Buying Shampoo" Sounds slightly boring and old-fashioned no? But it may work none the less and when you can save a bit here and a bit there and avoid pouring chemicals on your head (oh dear I sound like a natural freak) then why not give it a try. I had all the ingredients at home already anyways! 


Well thats all for now <checks mirror to make sure hair isn't falling out> so far so good ;)

Bunnies and Yellow Beans



I have been visited by this friendly creature quite frequently as of late.... They seem to like my yellow bean plants much to my displeasure! So I researched it and found the sprinkling black pepper on and around the plants will keep them away. Well I did that yesterday and when I went to inspect my garden this morning there were some half eaten leaves! Which means it worked! They always ate the entire leaf leaving just the stem and now they tasted the pepper and left some of it behind! I hope it will get rid of them for good! I like Yellow Beans!

What will the day bring forth?

"What will the day bring forth?"

This question usually accompanies the rising of the Sun... We can plan all we want but what will really happen only the Lord knows.

Welcome to my blog!

I am going to attempt to pick up blogging again! I hope to post a variety of different things! Random bits about my day, Recipes that I like, Websites I find helpful, and any thing that mangages to suit my fancy!

Hope you enjoy it!
