Mini Zinnias Blooming
Our family received some devastating news week before last.
My mother-in-law was diagnosed with a large brain tumor.
The day that my husband told me the news the first mini zinnia blossomed in my fall cutting garden.
I knew that the first blossoms were meant to be for her.
Right after her surgery I was able to take ten blossoms to her.
We are waiting for the pathology report to come back.
We know that God is in control.
Working on sister's car...
My son helped Mr. H. do a little work on my daughter's car.
He's a lucky boy...
learning from the best!
Moving Day!
The chicks spent two weeks in my laundry room and
then we moved them into a brooder in our front shed for a few more weeks.
But they quickly grew out of the brooder and today we moved them into the backyard chicken coop.
Me and "Anne Murray." :-)
Avocado Tree!
I can't tell you how many times I have tried to sprout an avocado seed.
I finally learned the secret - I was giving up too soon!
It takes months, not weeks, for the seed to sprout a root and then a plant.
After watching this youtube video I vowed to not give up this time.
I wish I knew when I had started this seed. It was either late June or early July I think.
And here we are in September with a little plant started.
Now to research what to do next...

Game Day Snacks
Football season 2014 started for our family on August 28th at 5:30 pm
when the Fightin' Texas Aggies took on South Carolina.
I wasn't sure how our Aggies were going to play,
so I wanted our game day snacks to be tasty
just in case the food was the only good part of the game. ;-)
Turned out the food AND the game were great!
I tried four new recipes that I want to share because they were all hits
with the family.
We had loaded baked potato dip. This was my favorite.
Definitely make it the day before - it gets better with time.
The kids loved the buffalo chicken bites.
I made the jalapeño popper spread ahead as well and just put it in the oven right before game time.
Mr H. liked the sweet and spicy sriracha chicken bacon bites best.
(He cooked them out on the grill instead of broiling in the oven.)
All four of these recipes were quick, easy to prepare ahead of time and perfect for big game munching!

Surprise babies...
Three weeks ago, one of our barn cats had two babies on the back porch,
but, after that day, we never saw them again.
Imagine my surprise when I went outside this morning and saw not two, but THREE
baby kittens on the porch. Reese's, who is actually the grandmother cat of these kittens, had brought them all back up to the porch.
We'll need to give these away in about five weeks,
but my daughter says she's keeping this red one. :-)
We'll see.
New babies!
Our day old chicks arrived today.
They were born yesterday…on Daisy's 7th birthday!
It's been quite awhile since we've had some babies.
They are just so fun.
I'd like to introduce -
Anne Murray
She's a White Leghorn.
Crystal Gayle
She's a Golden Laced Wyandotte.
Jessi Coulter
She's a Silver Laced Wyandotte.
Dottie West
She's a Rhode Island Red.
And, Charly McClain.
She's a Welsummer.
Sail away with me...
to the Caribbean!
I made some island inspired dishes tonight and
the family really enjoyed them.
Mr. H. even declared it the "best meal of the summer!" :-)
On the menu was Jerk Chicken with Caribbean Quinoa.
(Except I realized at the last minute that we were out of quinoa,
so we had couscous instead!)
We also had Caribbean Salad with Honey Lime Dressing,
and rounded out the meal with some King's Hawaiian rolls.
There wasn't a bit of chicken or rolls left,
and I am pretty sure that the rest of the couscous and salad
will be fought over at lunch tomorrow!
If you are looking for something different and tropical for supper
I suggest these recipes - they're fantastic!
