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...

Facial Cleanser

We've been using a surprisingly wonderful face wash for about 6 months. Guess What it is? Olive & Castor Oil! I was really surprised at how well it works and you can customize the formula to you own needs. For people with T-zone, dry or oily conditions. At www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/ they give all the details. I used an old facial cleanser bottle and tweaked the instructions to fit our needs. -15% Castor oil -85% olive oil -Shake and place in shower with wash cloth. - Gently rub 1 to 2 pumpfuls into face, neck, ears etc. (before you get in) -Use the warmth of shower to open pores. -Heat wash cloth with water, place on face for a minute or so. Then gently rub off excess oil, make up and dirt. Like I said, we've been using this for 6 months or so. In that time I've had only 1 blemish ( I'm a t-zone). My face is so much smoother and softer and this is all I do. No more 3 parts, no extra lotions! The above recipe has worked well for dry and t-zone. So we only h...

Frugal Friday

Time again to remember creativity and frugality! I really enjoy www.biblicalwomanhood.com where today it is Frugal Friday. Two needs we had were new nighties and bicycle baskets. We've been riding like crazy and I was tired of old t-shirts for jammies. It's hard and expensive to find nice, cute nighties for 5 different age groups! So we headed to a local thrift shop and bought sheets. Now if this thought grosses you out, just think "Vintage"! Everything was washed and dried in the dryer. Each sheet cost about $3.00. I was able to get 3 nighties in children sizes out of one and 2 in adult sizes out of another. I wish I could show more pics, but thought it was best not to of my older chicks. Needles to say they have become every one's favorites and today I need to make more! The cost of each nightie was about $1.50! I figured in my pattern and lace I also found. Isn't she a cutie! I'm not sure how to turn this but I also made house coats for each girl. This ...
