this is why I tucked some blueberries in the freezer at the peak of season~

to make a blueberry crisp with ~ from a recipe filed away on a vintage card ~ served right from the oven along side a scoop of ice cream ~ EVERYONE loved it ! Can't wait to make more :)

The busy is still going strong ~but it was fun to stop for a blueberry moment :)

Have a haPPy day :)

early morning when the sun was just

starting to peek through the crepe myrtle I filled the watering can and gave all the flowers a drink, a slow start to another very busy day :).

Thanks for the kind comments ~

Here's the recipe :

Fresh Apple Cake

2 cups sugar

3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Sift all the dry together

1 1/2 cups oil

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

mix together well ~ add to dry ~ add 3 cups of fresh granny smith apple chunks (not too small chunks)~ (I use 3 large apples)

Batter WILL be stiff ~ put in 13x9 UNgreased pan~ bake @ 350 for 40 to 50 minutes. When it looks brown and has come away from the edges you can tell it is done. :)

Makes the house smell good and the cake is SO good :)

This is recipe is a favorite :)

Have a haPPy weekend :)

even though our summer is ~

filled with super busy ~super hectic ~ am making sure to fill it with tiny bits too ~ like fresh flowers from the garden for the little jug in the kitchen ~ popping lots of caladuim bulbs in the gardens for later summer and fall color~ and baking a fresh apple cake ~ would like to bake one of these every day just for the smell ~ and the taste ~ and for a reason to use my polka dotty baking pan :) .

Have a haPPy day :)

playing with flowers~

loving these new flowers ~ a magnet on the back holds them to a tack placed in the wall ~ just one of this weeks simple projects :). (this fall the wall will get a new color :).)

Have a haPPy day :)

Alison Gibbs is opening a new store online and having a giveaway :)

bits of summer~

out early this morning feeding the roses ~ cleaning off spent blossoms ~ and re potting the ferns into basket planters from the plastic pots they came in ~ now it is storming ~ a cozy afternoon planned of tidying up the farmhouse ~

Have a haPPy day :)
