Raind drops........

 

Are falling. Finally a little bit of rain has fallen here in Georgia.  

My daughter captured these droplets on some leaves and made this

leafy collage. Where is that little caterpillar I wonder? It seemed to nibble here and there.

Refreshing,green and leafy. Silly me I know. Time to make a salad!

Enjoy.

Shabby granny green apple

 This is the color I describe of this sweet yard stick I have in my yard.  Inspiring because it screams Spring! It is stuck in the cold hard ground and sits in front of a bare bush. It's the only pop in my yard at the moment. I love the sweet texture and color and thought I would share it with you. So it's a shabby, granny green apple kind of day today!
Enjoy,

Dilled Green Beans

As I turned the Calendar page of my Herb Garden Calendar yesterday I see this tastey and even easy recipe for me to try and I thought I would share it! I love the artwork in this calandar! Sherri Buck Baldwin is the artist. This recipe is for Dilled Green Beans.

2 Quarts plus 2 cups water

2 pounds fresh green beans,washed and trimmed

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons mustard seed

2 teaspoons dill weed

1 teaspoon red paper flakes

1 teaspoon dill seed

4 gloves garlic minced

2 cups distilled white vinegar

2/3 cup sugar

2 cups water

Bring 2 quarts water to boil;add green beans and boil until beans are tender,about 5 minutes. Place beans in cold water and drain. In a large bowl,mix together salt,mustard seed, dill weed, red pepper flakes and garlic. Add beans and stir well.Bring 2 cups water,vinegar,sugar and salt. Add to beans and mix well. Pour beans into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight before serving. For optimum flavor, chill beans one week before eating.

So I'm going to try this and if this sounds good to you....Enjoy! Happy Friday!
