Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
The little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
. Of easy wind and downy flake


The woods are lovely and dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

And miles to go before I sleep.



We visited some dear friends Thursday night, and had sweet fellowship . We were blessed to visit with them, and was blessed with this sighting of deer in their front yard !

This is a common occurrence for our friends! They are so blessed!!

Walking on Sunshine

Ok, Day 1 and I walked 2 miles.

For those of you reading my blog wondering: "What is she talking about?"

I am participating in Mrs. H's Walking on Sunshine. We are walking

for 21 days and hopefully will develop a

great habit.!

Cooking

This was yummy! Pear Crisp. I have had apple crisp, but not pear. My family loved it, and I took the rest to my mom's to finish up with coffee this morning. She poured cream over it and oh.... my .... gosh! It was sooo good.
We are off to do firewood tonight at my moms house, and I'm taking Beef Stew, Big Daddy Biscuits, and Old Fashioned Whoopie Pies.
I wanted to make some of Kelli's Gingerbread cupcakes, but I ran out of time yesterday. They look so good, and my husband is crazy about gingerbread. We have company coming Friday night so I think that is what we will have for dessert. (If we can wait that long ;)

Blog Cooking


I have an addiction! I am addicted to Blog cooking. I can't help myself and my family is perpetuating the addiction! Of course it doesn't help when cooking is your hobby! :) I go to one of my favorite blogs, print out a recipe, and I'm off!! The stove is going, the house fills with unbelievable smells, and everyone's mouth is watering. Last night I made something that I have never made before. Cheeseburger Buns. To top off this little story we had company coming. I don't usually make things I haven't tried before when company is coming. I threw caution to the wind and went for it. I thought my children would go crazy after eating these!! "They taste like a McDonald's cheeseburger!" They kept saying this over and over. When I went to do this post and attach the link, that is what it said in the address bar. ( I guess I'm not very observant) :) I never noticed it before. My kids are saying things like "Why don't you hop on Kelli's blog and cook us something?" or "Is this from Mrs H's blog?" They don't seem to understand they are making visiting these blogs work for me :) Not really, I do enjoy visiting blogs and I also enjoy cooking. (It is my no.1 hobby) I am very grateful (along with my hubby and kids) for the recipes they have shared on their blogs. So I just want to say thank you ladies. You have made my family very happy.

Amazing Friends!!!!!!

It has now been a year since we moved into our new home. As I look back on the whole process it was worth the wait and all the work. (and tears) :) I was thinking of the weekend we moved in and the help we had that weekend. Friday afternoon our appliances were delivered and Scott and I were standing in our unfinished living room discouraged! We wanted so desperately to move in the following day, but we were overwhelmed by all that need to be done. Little did we know that our friends Jackie and J.D. were coming to move us in!!

We all put smiles on our faces, filled up buckets with warm, soapy water and Murphy's Oil Soap, grabbed some rags, and set to wiping cabinets, walls, floors, and beams.
My sister in law Darcy was so nice to come and help us out too.

Scott was very happy to have J.D there to help out. J.D. was in a bad snowmobiling accident and was still recovering from it. He smashed his knee, and the recovery process had been very slow and very painful. Yet he put aside the pain and didn't complain, and worked all day!! He is amazing and my boys have learned so much from him.
Getting ready to work!!

Hanging Lights

Getting the washer and dryer installed

We stopped for a feast that Jackie brought. Sandwiches, chips, fruit, and soda. Not only did they come to work , but they brought lunch too!! :)
Timothy and J.D. were getting ready for an Oreo licking race.


KIDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I can't remember who won, I don't know that anyone does, but they had alot of fun and we were in stitches! :)

Macy had the upstairs covered as far as making sure everyone stayed working. She did allow an occasional coffee break! :)

Neva figured if Macy had things under control she could just relax and enjoy her day!

MeMe showed up that day with a housewarming gift for Acelia. She made this and quilted it too!

They worked till dark. Scott and J.D. are tiling the wall under the cabinets.

Mission accomplished!

Happy and grateful to our friends and family!!

Jackie had some ideas of her own on how to end the day! BROWNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just the smell of those cooking said, "Were home!"

The Harding children eating brownies and ice cream in their new home!!

Thank you so much Jackie and J.D. for your hard work and all your help that weekend. We wont forget it. :) (I think Acelia needs to go to bed! :)

Easter


Our Easter celebration was nice, we had our pastor and wife and our dear friends J. D. and Jackie over for dinner. We made home made bread and Acelia made this cute snail! I thought she did a great job!!

She also frosted the cake and added some green coconut :) You can't see in the picture, but the frosting was pink.

Here is the finished product. Thank you Kelli for sharing the recipe with us.


Acelia and Jackie:)


J.D. was gracious enough to carve the ham for us. :)


Scalloped potatoes hot from the oven. I topped these off with fried onion rings :)

I really wanted to do a spinach salad but spinach was 3.99 a bag !!! So I opted for the good old tossed salad with mandarin oranges, kumquats, and toasted almonds. I did make Kelli's dressing and everyone loved it. Thanks again Kelli. :)
Acelia trying out Jackie's "Happy Feet". I guess they work, she looks pretty happy! :)

We had a great time chatting, and visiting with our friends. We missed my mom as she is vacationing in the sunny south. :) I hope she brings some of that warm weather home with her!

Acelia is learning to crochet with a tiny needle so she is practicing making a chain.

Have a great day!
