STRANGE EGGS-FRIDGE DILL PICKLES-THE SHELBURNE GRANGE

GREETINGS

These past few days have been wonderful with slight winds and temps in the low 80’s.  Net week the humidity comes back and that’s okay as it won’t stay.   Tomorrow I will pick up a box of tomatoes and get them in the freezer.  This year I plan to dice them with garlic and basil.

STRANGE EGGS

Every once in a while a strange eggs happens.  There is no rhyme or reason for it.  This little one is very cute with little dark dots all over it.  I have no idea who laid it but it was in the big girl coop.

FRIDGE DILL PICKLES

I have gotten one jar made up and hope to get another 3 or 4 in the fridge.  That should keep me in pickles till Christmas.  They are easy to make and only need a few ingredients.

THE SHELBURNE GRANGE FAIR

Springfield Weavers

I stopped by the Shelburne Grange Fair yesterday to visit my friends from The Springfield Weavers Group.  It had gotten much smaller this year which was sad to see.  They still had nice exhibits in the hall and someone playing music and of course the great lunch but much more use to go on  I was told that they need more help and I am hoping to get involved.  I have grown up with Granges and  think that they are a very important part of  New England.

 

Many thanks for reading my blog today and I hope you had a wonderful day.  Carole.

 

MR. PEEPERS AND CHICKEN LITTLE-THE GRANGE FAIR-VISIT WITH FRIENDS-THE PATHWAY

GREETINGS

Its a cool morning here on the farm.  The kind of morning where you fingers start to tingle just a little.  A sign of cooler days.  The yellow jackets were out in full force even stinging Jane one of the weavers.  

GOOD MORNING WORLD

The two boys delightful crows are nice to hear in the mornings.  The crows are not as harsh as Hazel’s and not as deep and loud as Murphy’s.  Maybe that will change as they age they are only 4 months old

THE GRANGE FAIR

I spent a wonderful afternoon at the Grange Fair in SHelburne.Visiting with old friends from The Springfield Weavers Guild and friends from the area. 

THE SPRINGFIELD WEAVERS GUILD

There was a good interest in spinning and Jane and I  thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

A friend that I haven’t seen in years stopped by, Barbara.  SHe brought her dog Henry, what a beautiful and well mannered dog.

Its always a treat to see the entries.  Canning, quilting, flowers and more.

Barbara from Barberic Farm was there and she has keets for sale.  This is the farm where Carol K and Maude came from.

 

THE PATHWAY

The pathway to the side yard is delightful to walk in after a little rain.  I think the rain enhances the smells of the Rugosa Roses , Tansey and the Phlox.  The combined smells linger in the air.

Many thanks for reading my blog today and I hope your day is enjoyable.  Carole
