Poof Mushrooms


In the back enclosure of the yard, we don't get much sun. These mushrooms were under some foliage we cleared out and when worker bee tried to pick them up, they would explode and give off a cloud of spores. Of course when I wanted to take a picture of the explosion, we could not get one to do it.

Grandma Rice's Homemade Applesauce










Making Grandma's Chunky Applesauce was a bit of work, but well worth it. I used just a bit of Organic Cane Juice Sugar and Cinnamon. The Red Delicious apples from the local farmer were very sweet to begin with, so no need for much sugar.

Pretty Rose


Happy Anniversary, Worker Bee!! 32!!

Basil







I made pesto today with my basil, walnuts and olive oil. I will add Parmesan just before I use it. I froze the pesto in ice cube trays so I can just take out what I need at a time. My house smells great right now!

More Pepper Jam







I am amazed at the amount of peppers my little plants keep producing. I just had to make some more Pepper Jam. This batch is hotter than the last!

Canning Jars

Mr. Hench gave me some canning jars! They will come in handy when I make the applesauce this week.
