Monday

Isn't he beautiful?

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

Another barn - lol - this one has a silo and everything.  See the blurring brown?  That is what a tree looks like on a photograph at about 80 mph.  This is also stretched to the max - lol!

Okay and here is one more.  If you want to see barns go to Kentucky - just go slow if you want good pictures.

Monday a recipe and a barn

Ah - Monday morning - GOOD MORNING FRIENDS!  Three more weeks of summer vacation.  Will you be glad or sad it's over?

You saw the wedding pictures yesterday - well this was a drive by barn in Cartersville, GA on the way to the wedding.  I can't get my family to slow down and let me take a picture.  We're always in a hurry and I don't know why.... we rush and rush but who knows why . . . I sure don't.

"A farmer was milking his cow. He was just starting to get a good rhythm going when a bug flew into the barn and started circling his head. Suddenly, the bug flew into the cow's ear. The farmer didn't think much about it, until the bug squirted out into his bucket. It went in one ear and out the udder."

Not too bad of a drive by photo....

Now last week I mentioned I went to a luncheon with some blog gals.  Here's a picture of us!

Now for the fabulous recipe of the week -

How about something for the heat and for our pups?

Cool Peanut Butter Cubes

3 cups plain Non-Fat Yogurt
1 cup Unsalted Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp. honey

Combine all ingredients and whisk thoroughly.  Pour mixture into ice cube trays and freeze solid (at least two hours).  Serve to your pup one cube at a time for some seriously enjoyable icy cool treats!

 

THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

 

Good Monday Morning Friends - Barns and Foods?

This is a South Carolina (again at fast speed - lol). I think it has seen better days - yet I feel they still used it - I never can figure why people don't take care of their property better then they do.
