It's The Weekend

Not sure what we are going to do today. I'm just enjoying some tea and watching the news waiting for Sam to get up and then we will decide. BBL

Friday

We have some big Bees in Kentucky . I sat and watched him for a long time work the flowers. Him and the humming birds were fighting.

I finally found a arm band for my phone or Ipod for when I run or  walk. I have been looking for one for a  while. I can't wait to  go for a run now. It looks really big in this  photo but that's because I asked Sam to take the photo and it was suppose to be of just the arm and band lol  so my are is way out, any way I love it !!!

Feeling Like Fall

I know it is only the middle of August but it sure feels like fall !! 50 this morning BURRRR

Mom wanted to see what the chair looked like. I think she can make them for every one at the pool. I also think the bigger Noodles would work better with them.

 The other day I was looking threw the hope chest where I keep all old photos and I  got a chuckle out of some of these and thought I might  post them here too. !st I got the  guest room ready if any one want to  come for a visit ?????

 This  was in  Homestead,  It is Mike and Sharon s bike. She is the friend I sold roses for.That is me on the right and Debbie with  Mike . :)

 This was in Arkansas

 Pine island

 Disney when we  just he boys and I camped there.

 Mickey  Oxonard  Ozmond ?? xmas 1974

No Rain today !!!

Well I hope to get to the pool today. I got  a thing to go on a noodle for $2.00  yesterday too and I wan to try it out. lol it even has a cup holder.

My flowers are getting so pretty, I love to set out here and watch my  birds, and relax.
 I'm glad I live at the end, it gives me more of a yard lol . I have 2 humming bird feeders and one block for the birds. My tomato is not as big as last years but I still am getting great tomatoes off it and get lots from the farm any way so I have enough.

Going to be a busy day

Very busy day today and I hope the rain stops. we have not had as much as they have at home and I sure hope the basement does not flood again. There are lots of reports all over about floods this morning.I got lots of my running around done now let's see if I can get some baking done.

 

When I went  out today  I found a sale ;)  I got my bathing sutes  for the next few years lol .  guess how much I spent for them all ???

About $15.00 with tax !!!  they were all $ 1.00 each. They will come in handy for in the hot tub or the boat  or going in the pool with all the chlorine and I can save my good one .  Ok off to do my baking.

 

Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

I was going to make Chocolate Zucchini Bread but I found this  recipe and I made it today and I think I will make the bread in a few days.

Chocolate Zucchini Brownies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup canola oil
• 1 1/2 cups sugar (you can replace up to half of the sugar with a stevia blend)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 large zucchini to yield 2 cups of shreds

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine oil, sugar and vanilla extract in a bowl until well-combined and crumbly.
3. Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
4. Add sugar mixture to the flour mixture.
5. Using a grater, shred the zucchini.
6. Stir the zucchini shreds into the batter until thoroughly incorporated. Batter should be moist and thick.
7. Scrape batter into an 8 x 11 baking dish.
8. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the brownie is fairly firm and begins to pull from the sides of the pan.

Allow brownies to cool.
They were  so so  good and I added  my Black Walnuts !! Yum
After making these again  if you want fuggy  not cake brownies add a egg to it. ;)

Sunday we slept in and then went to Lexington. We stopped to see Cameron and then went to Sam's Club. It sure is easy to spend lots there lol. Sam took me to my favorite place to eat. I went to take his photo and said "smile" and this is what I  got !!!!

 Sam  broke the beans for me. we watched the race and then he put up the shelve in my closet for me. So all in all it was a great Sunday !!!
