Sunny Saturday!

Don't you just love it when you wake up and already the sun is shining even though it's really, really early?? What a pretty day we are having here! I'm so happy it's Spring!!! It's been a little harder lately to find some extra time for blogging but I am doing my best to keep up. It just gets that way at times of the year, right? As long as we keep on keeping on!!!  Yard work, errands, school stuff.....

Up above I made these for a dessert the other night! Mini strawberry shortcakes. Love these! I cut up fresh strawberries and add some sugar to them and let them sit in the fridge for a bit till the sugar almost makes like a strawberry juice. Then spoon the strawberries onto those little shortcake shells and with some of the liquid to moisten up the shell and add Cool Whip! So yummy! They are so nice to serve if you are having a brunch. People think you fussed but you really didn't  ;0

Let me see where to start catching up from! Well Miss Molly has been busy...NOT

She sleeps very soundly in case you haven't noticed......I have tenants living in my Lancaster County gourd!

Three sparrows! They are working hard! I take endless photos of them. It's a good choice for a home too. I have to get more of these gourds. This one was just supposed to be for decoration. It has an Amish buggy and says Lancaster County on it but it's just fine for them to enjoy! If they visit the backyard where all my bird feeders are, they would see I hung another! I got this cute tea pot bird feeder from Christmas Tree Shop!

I went the other day with some friends and they had so much fun stuff. I can stay there for hours just digging and looking! I find some of the best things *buried* behind others! Here's what else I got!

These are mason jar candle holders that are adorable. I really wanted the rack for my milk bottles but they don't fit :(  that's okay. I love how it is is and I can never have enough stuff to light up!!!! This was a real bargain too--$7.99! The little patriotic girl here was also $7.99! I bought two of these--one is a gift. I filled her bucket with some stars!

She's so cute! They had Uncle Sam too. I got a few other things but I didn't photo them. A super fun store.

I bought this little butter churn from a Primitive sale sight on the computer:

I'm guessing this was the modern butter churn compared to the other one I have where you stand and churn the butter like the Pilgrims :)   Modern conveniences......

I just can't wait to start my day today :)  Carol and Frankie have been pecking around the yard and looking for greens and little worms to eat. The chicken coop is warm and sunny through the sun roof and when they aren't pecking around , they are being lazy in the hay!

Last but not least I also acquired these two milk cans!!!!A friend alerted her friend that was giving them up to give them to me ! How great is that?? They are in rough condition but I don't mind. I like old and rusty!!!! I'm a prim lover. Rust is our middle name!  I'm going to sand them down and spray paint them burgundy!

Whatever ytou're doing today, I hope it's fun and I hope the sun is out!!! Have a great Saturday!!
