A Sample of 2013 Mushroom Collection

 

Here's a typical mushroom picking for us during the

prime time of our first season! The red bowl is a

Tupperware Thatsa Bowl which is a 42 cup capacity! 

And I'm not sure how much the

blue bowl holds, but, it is quite big too!!

 

We've had a great start to our new adventure

in mushroom farming!! We'll be inoculating

more logs this fall and probably next spring as well!

I think we've found our niche!

 

 

Found a New Home

Hello Everyone....

     I've had problems uploading pictures to my blog over the past couple of weeks.  The system has told me that I have run out of space and that I can buy some more if I choose to. After deleting some of the older posts and trying re-using that space, I decided to move to a new location.

 

     My forwarding address is:

       Come over for a visit! I'm hoping to get something posted soon!

Salt

 

I'm not sure where I saw it first...

but it caught my eye immediately!!

 

 

 

IT'S ANOTHER GOOD USE

FOR A CANNING JAR!

 

Who would have even guessed that the tops of

the round, cardboard, salt containers fit

PERFECTLY into a wide mouth lid?!!

 

I tried a pint sized jar first,

but it was too small to hold all the salt.

 

 

The wide mouth quart jar was JUST RIGHT!

(It would have more salt, but the

container was already partially used!)

 

And here you have it... 

another perfectly good reason to

keep extra canning jars on hand!

LEGOS

Legos are an ageless 'toy' from way back...

my brother, cousins and I LOVED our Legos!

Did you know they've been around since 1958

and were introduced in the United States in 1973.

Neither did I!

 

We had our family Thanksgiving over the weekend

and had 23 of us gathered, for the first time in

a very long time!!

 

I pulled a few games out to bring with us for after dinner, 

and then Audrey went looking for something specific!!

 

She found "THE TUB"!

 

 

What a treasure trove of memories!!

 

 

Some of the kid's creations were still in tact after all

these years!! In my mind I could hear the little voices

playing and yelling, laughing and bartering for pieces!!

 

 

Here they are now... ages 14 to 25!!

 

 

Ahhh, more memories in the making!

 

I love my family!
