It's a start.

My followers that were with me from the great state of MN. Know that our last home was truly a slice of heaven, and wondered why we left it. The work we put into that house was something and it showed. When we moved we knew we were going to make our little piece of earth a better place for birds and all who see it. However, when we moved we also knew we would take our time. So pictures of the changes were not posted because we did little things to make it our home.

But it has started and I want to post a picture a day to bring you up to today. This picture was taken of our yard in December so it's old but gives you an idea of how it looked before we put shovel to the ground. I hope you enjoy the changes. Remember the changes will take a few years to really show how wonderful my husband is at making our place a slice of heaven.

God Bless all those who travel through my little blog.

A Pickle for your thoughts...

I bet that peaked your interest? What makes this interesting is that we knew when we moved east that things would be different. Temperatures, seasons, people, but what we failed to imagine was that pickles would be one of them.

I came from a farming family and we canned and ate everything we produced. Pickles and jelly were on the table for every meal. We fell in love with homemade dill pickles and could eat as many as we wanted. Well, you know what I mean.

When we started to buy pickles the favorite of my Mom and Dad was Gedney dill pickles. As I purchased my own pickles they became Gedney Baby Dill Pickles. Not kosher, quartered, or big would due.

The first time we went to replenish our supply we were shocked. There in the grocery isle was a small almost unwanted section for pickles. Kosher dill, and sweet pickles graced the selves. We did our best at trying to find our favorite but there was none.

So, here it is, the two quart, six pack we brought with us from Minnesota. Unlike other things pickles are my comfort food from home. And replacing it with less will not work.

Just my thoughts on this Sunday afternoon.
