Planning Ahead for Fall Decor

If you are like me...after a couple of years of using some of my favorite Autumn wreaths or brightly colored flags...they begin to fade or get so dusty that I can't get them clean.
I've gotten busy enough that it's hard for me to get out --- or remember to get out --- early enough to get some really nice pieces. This year I'm thinking and planning ahead for my Fall Decor...here are my choices available through Amazon.

Thinking Spring in the Fall

We all know, after a long hard winter, how wonderful it is to see those first flowers of spring.
The daffodils, crocus and tulips....how beautiful.

So...it's time to start planning now...for fall planting...those beautiful flowers of spring.

Here's a few of my own favorites...

Refrigerator Pickles

I Love Refrigerator Pickles. They are so fast and easy to make.
I find they are the perfect 'solution'
to an abundant cucumber crop.

I love cucumbers..but when they are as plentiful
as they can be some years...
it's good to have a really easy recipe to
be able to enjoy them
later on.

Here's a quick video I found...with a different take on my own recipe...
but it's the same premise.

Here's my recipe...

7-8 cucumbers (sliced)
1 1/2 tsp tumeric
1 1/2 tsp mustard seed
4 c vinegar
4 small onions (sliced)
1 1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 c salt
4 c sugar

Mix spices, sugar and vinegar well.
Pour over cucumbers and onions and refrigerate.
Pickles will be ready in 4 or 5 days.

*For a bread and butter variation of this recipe...simply heat the mixture,
just to the boiling point,
and pour over the cucumbers and onions.
