Hurricane Isaac went west.....

Praying for all those in the storm's path tonight.....will be glad when hurricane season is over!

Prayer needed

I am scared to death of hurricanes.  And one is headed our way.  Please pray that I can feel unafraid and that no trees come down on the roof! 

Old apron from my mom.....

Been thinking about aprons again......I have a collection of old and new, handed down from family and newly purchased from a great apron maker I found on the MJF site.  This apron is an old one that I got from my mom's collection.  This was right before Christmas last year, and we were making Christmas cookies!  The girls are very serious about their cookie making.  Now, during canning season, I am wearing my aprons more and more and for the original reason.....I want to keep my clothes clean and free from splatter! 

Home Milk Pastuerizer...

While in Iowa last fall, I found this really cool thing in an old barn filled with treasures.  I had never seen a home milk pastuerizer before.  Isn't it neat?  I need to research it and find out how long it took to do it and how common they were.  I wish it had been for sale.      

Blessed Again!

Hello, it has been forever!!!!  Today I added a couple of words to my blog title.  Lately when I facebook or post recent activities to folks, I find myself adding the two words "Blessed Again" at the end.  It is because I see how God is blessing me in this life, even in times of pain, fear and trial.  Being with family, having a pedicure, gardening, doing a Bible study......the things that happen in my daily life....are God's small but powerful blessings gifted to me and those around me.  So when you think of Jeannie's Place,  I hope you are blessed again, too.  Will try to post more frequently in the future.  I find myself on facebook more and more, but will include this place too, in hopes of finding more friends and getting and giving more blessings.....love you!    

I love my gardens! They feed us, but we do not have to get up each day and feed them.

Well, here is the day's pickin's.  Spring onions, tomatoes, peas and the very last of the broccoli.  Which my friend Julia will appreciate because she does not like broccoli!!!  Right Julia?  :)

A family member of mine raises sheep and goats, and it is lambing time.  What hard work.  I think I am better suited to planting seeds, and picking veggies.  That way I can sleep in a little.

Blessings at the beach.....

At the condo in Ormond Beach.  It has been a balmy tropical week with sunshine, breezes and the most wonderful thing.  Today I saw something for the first time in my life.  It was a rainbow cloud.  Not a rainbow but a cloud that was pink, blue, green and absolutely beautiful.  There were three of them!  White clouds were wisping below them, and the high clouds were lovely colors!  It was not raining.  I later read online that these clouds are high and have to be full of a certain type of ice crystal to show colors.  When I see something like this, I know it a delight from God and He is gracing us with even more beauty than He gives us in each day.  I wish I could have captured it on my camera, but could not.  Look it up online.  You will see photos of what I am trying to describe.  And even if you see a scientific explanation, we all know that God is the Great Scientist.....the Great Creator.  Bless you all.  It has been wonderful week with just hubby and me.  And the ocean, and the wind, and the sand.....
