I haven't posted recently, because I can't seem to upload photos. It wants me to sign into Google, and when I am and browse for a photo, try to upload it, nothing happens.
This past week, we picked blueberries at a nearby farm. I made fresh blueberry muffins yesterday!
- 1 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 t. baking powder
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1 beaten egg
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/4 c. lard, melted and cooled to room temperature, which we rendered from fat from a recently butchered hog (you can also use butter)
- I blended the 1st four dry ingredients. I mixed the egg, milk and lard, then added it to the dry ingredients. Filled 12 liners, about halfway. Bake at 350° f 20 minutes.
Elijah is 10 months old now and has 7 teeth. Unfortunately, he has a cold right now. He woke up with a runny nose and one eye shut with discharge. Thankfully, he's cheerful, but nursing a bit more than usual and sleeping more. All things we need to heal, fluids and rest!
I went out with a friend of mine (our husbands had the children) to a lavender farm and then to several small town shops, with pretty paintings, ceramics and a soap shop. I came home with a bouquet of dried French lavender, a Munstead lavender plant, and one pretty bar of soap. Inspiration to pick up my paintbrush! And a rejuvenated mama!! Also, thinking of making a lavender blueberry muffins next!

Blueberry muffins are my favorite. :) I hope you are able to download pictures soon, it would be fun to see what you paint, if you're inclined to show us. Time spent with a good friend can be so rejuvenating. Yours sounds like a very pleasant day.
yeah blogger changed the way they do things. I am able to get photos from my dropbox which is where I upload them at a reduced size.(on a computer in a browser).
