Hello sweet ladies,


Oh my...........am I thankful that today is Saturday..........last week was a hard one for sure. I started felling not well on Monday. Glad it is behind me and I have two days of resting up and doing some fun things around the house. Today it is in the 30's outside..... so it won't be to much outdoor things going on. I started early this morning on cleaning up the kitchen........moved into the bedroom.......sorting......and putting clothes in the giveaway box. I always feel like doing this, this time of year...........don't you?  Getting rid of things that will help someone else.  Don't you just love that spring is soon to be here. It gets me in the mood to start pitching things!!!! It's like a fresh new start. 


The little eggs needed turning this morning............... like I have to do every morning and evening now......since the egg turner quit working on me. It's okay and doesn't bother me though..........I love it. Just thinking about all those little chicks and ducks being formed in the inside. Pure Delight. God knew along time ago that this was going to bring JOY to many! I am included in the many!!!!!!!


I want to thank all the ladies that have signed up for the Prairie Flower Farm/ Gooseberry Patch Party.......love it!!!!!!!!!! If you haven't done so yet please do. 


Made another recipe from the Mom's Very Best Recipes. We made this at the college kitchen..........it is very nummy and easy to make.

Sweet Raspberry-Oat Bars

1/2 c. butter

1 c. brown sugar, packed

1 1/2 c. flour

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

1 1/2 c. long cooking oats, uncooked

1/4 c. water

2/3 c. seedless raspberry jam

1 t. lemon juice

In a large bowl, blend together butter and brown sugar until fluffy; set aside. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture. Add oats and water; mix together until crumbly. Firmly pat half of the oat mixture into the bottom of a greased 13x9" baking pan. In a small bowl, stir together jam and lemon juice; spread over oat mixture. Sprinkle remaining oat mixture over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Makes about about 2 1/2 dozen. 

I didn't have any raspberry jam......... so I just made some. Raspberries with sugar and brought to a boil for one minute. Easy. Be sure to put a sliver of vanilla ice cream on the top......or some homemade whip cream.

There truly are some wonderful recipes.

Also this morning I took some bittersweet seeds and I am going to try and start some from seeds. I went to Garden Guides.com to learn how to get the seeds going. I am a little late on getting them in the freezer........but they have been out in the cold all winter so I hope it works. I will keep you posted if anything happens. 

I am also ordering from Michigan Bulb Co.  They are 9.99 for a male and a female plant. You need both. They also have a special going on if you order $40.00 worth. I enjoy using bittersweet in the fall for decorating. I usually have to travel to get it now. I want it on the farm this year. 

Do you remember when I did this?

Well..........hope your day is filled with JOY. Mine is........my daughters and granddaughter are in the front room.........now that is JOY!!!!!!!!!!


Welcome to all the new followers........you have been noticed.......by me!!!!!!!!!!

Also, the tea cozy has been downloaded a ton of times this last week.........hope they are being made up and given as gifts to bless others.

Hugs from my farm to your HOME,

You truly are all such blessings to my life.

Linda
