Angle Trumpet

October 26 007

This bush is late blooming and my orange colored bush hasn't bloomed at all, it is usually earlier than this one.
I think it is from the dry weather a while back. Seems like the blooms are unusually large this time.
We have had several days of rain now so next year we will look for more bloom.
So far we have not had a lots of color in the trees this year for some reason I don't know. I love the fall of the year because when the leaves began to change color the hickory trees are the most beautiful of all to me, a golden yellow that is beyond any thing you could ever imagine. In the fall when the leaves began to fall you will notice the flowers that are in bloom more, they will stand out so vibrant and give you a new lift on life.

Genesis 1: 14 And God said , Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to devide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Sweet potatoe bread

October 20 007

Back when I grew up my mother made sweet potato bread, we had plenty of sweet potato, sugar cane, fresh milk, pork meat, and peanut. For some reason instead of just baked, fried potatoes or a pie she would make sweet potato bread. It was a variety and all liked it.

Since my daughter grew some potatoes this year she wonted to make some. This is what I remember of how my mother made sweet potato bread.

1 large potato cooked and mashed

1/2 cup molasses

1/2 stick butter

1/2 or 1 cup sugar I used sugar substitute

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup flour

1 teas vanilla

1 teas lemon flavoring

1 Tablespoon bacon grease

Mix to gather all ingredients and have your skillet hot with the tablespoon of bacon grease and pour all ingredients in bake for 45 minutes

Matthew 6: 11 Give us this day our daily bread.

A perfect Fall

Herbal recipe

October 11 007
Fall is here and time for all kind of end of the garden fruits. In the Spring I gather the fresh sprouts of herbs and load my vinegar jug up. I just go out and enjoy the smell of them and get a big arm full, they smell so good and it makes me hungry for odd things like the late fruits and veggies. You can use the Herbal vinegars on a number of things like the greens we yarn for in the fall. This sauce goes good with just plain white bread, cornbread and of course the salads.
1 cup vinegar
1/4 cup mustard
1/2 cup olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 Table spoon honey.

For a cucumber salad

1 Large cucumber
1/4 Teaspoon salt
Black pepper
1/2 Cup herbal vinegar

Flowers

October 7 007

Well today is my daughter's birthday and I am sending you some flowers, dear daughter.

The purple is from the butterfly bush and butterflies are what you like and I once made you a butterfly quilt.

The gardenia is a bush I have in the back yard and they smell so good.

I need to get back to work and paint this butterfly bush it is full of bloom and it is gorgeous.

Psalms 90:17 says And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
