What to do on vacation: Put up Hay

Just spent a wonderful week in Vermont with my grand children. The weather was great, which is rather unusual for this time of year. It seems that each year, no matter when I go to Vermont in the summer, we put up hay. My friend boards her horse at my son's barn so she asked if I could help with the hay this year.

Because of the great weather, the hay was beautiful and baled early.  So off we go to get the hay. I didn't get any pictures loading the bales since I was working to hard.

Healthy Sweet & Sour Chicken

We all seem to be trying to watch our weight, especially with summer right around the corner. However, we still want to be able to eat some of our favorite Chinese foods without feeling guilty.

Recycled Chair as Flower Pot

I have this thing for chairs, well lots of things actually, but really chairs. I guess I feel the need to rescue them sometimes. This was the case with the well worn, or as my husband says, "garbage" chairs. I was taking the dogs for a ride on the golf cart, their favorite thing to do, and spotted these chairs on top of a pile of other junk and tree trimmings.

They weren't in bad shape except for the fact that the seat was gone. Does that count?

3 Ingredient Tuna Spread


Now don't let the fact that this is made with tuna fish turn you off. Most people don't even know that it contains tuna fish. They always ask "what is in this?" It is a quick and easy spread that goes great on crackers. My favorite is triscuits.
