4-H and Sausage?

Well, today we go and set up our 4-H gardens. No One is excited about it being 92 degrees... I'm so glad our home garden is ready to go! We just need to get those temps back down into the mid 80's. Yes, I mean no I haven't posted picks yet. I wanted to do it one post. Maybe I should split it up?

What do you think???
I have started some seeds inside to get a jump on it. We should be Harvesting at the end of December ( like there won't be enough to do)!

Back to 4-H! My oldest check has been working very hard on the website for our club and plans to publish it today or tomorrow, once she gets the okay. I'll pop up the site once it's official!

Our local 4-H is also selling bushels of apples and pecans! This how we Floridians get our apples every year. Oh, I long to taste fall.... the apples are so crisp and juicy. Check your local 4-H to see if they have any sort of yummy fundraisers. It's a tasteful (I couldn't resist) way to help out!

4 Sweet Sisters will be taking orders for their Fabulous (if I do say so myself) Pumpkin Bread in October! Also a great opportunity to pick up our Freshly Ground Whole Grain Cookie Mixes.

In other news: I highly recommend the Financial Peace for Teens. We are on week 7 and getting into budgeting and checkbook keeping tonight.

So I'm "team" making cookies for tonight with my 2 eldest chicks and looking up recipes for Homemade Italian Sausage.
Pretty simple. I'll be using ground turkey (99 cents a pound) in place of pork. I won't be shooting it into tubes etc. It's so economical and I know what my family is eating! It's great in white bean soups, pizza, sauce etc. Yummy! I've REALLY been craving meat lately.
Does anyone have camera they really would recommend? I'm in need of a new one. I want one that recovers from a flash quickly and writes quick. All for under $200.

the apples look yummy! They are almost ready for harvest here. Not quite ready though. I have pears this year on my tree and they are also almost ready. We lost all of our peaches to hail. Luckily, the neighbors have a peach farm! So, we were able to get plenty. I think I'm going to try some peach preserves. They are really good on bisquits! I have a sony cyber-shot camera that I love. I got it at walmart. And it's pink! Don't remember the cost. but it's small and easy to use. it's beginning to feel like fall here. It's been in the high 60's to low 70's. Very nice! Have a great day.

Awesome Apples!!

We will have our 4-H fundraisers starting late next month! And yes I will be buying my fruit for the holiday's from them!!! Great way to support our local kids, and keep them out of trouble.

I was our community leader for 6 years. But since mine are grown... I decided to try something else for a bit. But... my grandchildren are coming of age... and I will probably start up again!! Kids can't wait to get their animals!!! Granddaughter is talking about calf and goats already...(she is only 5) lol.

I wish you all the luck with the garden!! We are at the end of our growing season :( But then I am ready for that too. Good luck with 4-H too. Hope your daughters enjoy it as much as my daughter, hubby, and myself did and still are!!!

Hopoe you have a wonderful day!!

P.O.O.P.I.E

People Opposing Objectionable Pretend plants in the Environment ! Okay folks it's been a week....which is way too long. Schooling 3 1/2 is a bit daunting at times. My other excuse.....I've been freaking out about lice for over a week. No, I didn't have it (this time around), but I've scratched myself raw over it! On to P.O.O.P.I.E.! Over at Nestor's she's done a short series on what's a good fake and what's not ( errr flowers that is). So after you take a peak at mine head over there and read hers and everyone else' poop (can I say that?), I mean blogs! Nesting Place is in my side bar if you need directions ( I wanted to put the button up, but have no clue). These are my year round fakies .... Superman gave me the floral arrangement about 12 years ago when we couldn't afford flowers, who am I kidding....we still can't! I did change out the pedestal urn they came in. My wonderful ivy on top of the cabinets. My chicks have always ha...

Nestor's Party- My Craft Room!

Well I wanted to get these up because Nestor is having a 10 minute to a beautiful room party . This has definitely taken more than 10 minutes. But in my brain it was only suppose to take a day! It's far from finished, but that's what a craft room is for. Right? Here's a couple of before pics during the Children's Christmas play. Basically every surface was covered and I had to move stuff just to work. Five of us craft, sew, scrapbook etc in this room. So space and good storage is an issue. The room is apx.10x11. I really want my daughter's to grow up being Keeper's of their Homes. Home Decorating and Crafting Frugally is a must! You can have a beautiful home on a very tight budget. I also want them to be creative and have a place to show and explore their abilities. ( alrighty let me jump down from my horse; ) Here's some after photos. The paint was from the $5 bin and too yellow. So I added alot of white that we had from another project! Th...

Zeee Transformation!

It's Frugal Friday again! I really enjoy everyone's offerings. Please share your comments and head over to Biblicalwomanhood.com for more great tips. I have it listed in Friends and Interest for your convienece. Have a great weekend and enjoy! I've been anxious to get these up here! This was one of Superman's and my summer projects. We finished just in time for our littlest chickadee's birthday and for use while I'm schooling the rest of the brood. Here's what I found at a local thrift store.... The stove had a sad laminate door on it that someone else had used to repair it. I sanded down both the fridge and stove. I also traced the stove top. Then Superman took over. He did more sanding, replaced the door with scrap wood and cut out a window. So that she can see what's baking. After that it was time to paint! I really wanted red because (for now) it's in my kitchen and it looks great with the other colors in there. Quite Spicy! And I found it in th...
