Speed Cleaning by Jeff Campbell!


Here's a really cool little book I got from the library several years ago. I still use a lot of the hints and tips.

Look What I Can Do!












This is just to prove I do more than blog and Facebook! (my husband just rolled his eyes when he caught me taking a picture of myself running the sweeper!) ... but he understands my quirks....

Creepy Antique Clown!


Sometimes this clown just gives me the creeps! Remember the clown scene in Poltergeist? **shudder**

I keep him underneath our big butter churn. Sometimes I think he might grab my leg when I walk by! But then I think .... "he doesn't have arms"!

Easy Summer Tomato Salad Recipe












Trust me... this is sooo good and easy. It's always the very first thing I make when my tomatoes start coming on. It's best to make in the morning so all the flavors can blend together.

Simply mix together tomatoes, onion, basil and oregano. Add red wine vinegar & oil salad dressing. You can add a dash of salt & pepper. You just "eyeball" everything really. Put in refrigerator for several hours to blend flavors.

Tip: I usually take it out about 20 min. before serving. It brings out the flavor (you know, kinda like cheese!) Enjoy!

Robins eat bread?


I never knew Robins ate bread. I just thought they ate grubs, worms and berries. Hmmm... but here's the proof!

Hey! You're not a humming bird!!


I was focused and waiting for a humming bird for a picture .... and this fly lands on the feeder!

Jack .... our neighbor!


Jack is such a sweet cat! He wants to be friends with my cats so bad.... but Hannah is such a big b*tch! She won't have any part of him in her territory!
