| Bonnie your collection is awesome. I especially like your blue crock bowl. Is it vintage? I have never seen one so pretty. |

Bonnie...so cute!
I found a collection of little tin pans that little girls used to use in play kitchens...I think there is a muffin pan, cookie sheets, cake pans, a little coffee pot...I can't remember what all now. I ended up getting them because they were too cute to leave in the antique store! I'm not really sure what I am going to do with them yet. They would be cute in a display or I might just let my granddaughter play with them. |

This what I am working on at the moment, it has taken awhile?
I am also working on painting rocks, new for me, but fun.
Anyone up for a rock painting swap?
Have a good day

Today I worked on baking for Baylee who loves Carrot Cake. I made the award winning recipe that Ms. Lori made and gave the recipe for on you tube. Her place is Whippoorwill Holler. This is the best carrot cake I have ever tasted. After the cake is baked you poke holes on the top and pour a glaze over it. When it has cooled a bit add the cream cheese frosting. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and enjoy. It is yum.
Even using Bobs red mill gluten free flour.

| Marilyn, is the only change you made to that recipe for gluten-free flour? Did you have to add anything else special to make it work? We love carrot cake and I’d like to try it. |

Linda, the only thing I changed was the flour. I used Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Flour.
Bonnie, I loved Goose Berry patch. I wish they had kept their store. |

Take care! |

| They still do cook books. As far as I know. But they stopped sending out their super cute catalouges and closed their on line store several years ago. |

Darlene, your colored picture turned out very pretty! The colors you chose are so bright and cheerful.
Marilyn, I loved the Gooseberry Patch catalogues and bought little seasonal things from them. I was sad when they closed down their store, but I still have some of their cookbooks which are my favorites. I love to just read them like books because of all the little quotes, drawings and tidbits added to every page.
At present, I am thinking about some easy things to make and have on hand for Farmgirl swaps. And of course, I am thinking about September for our Apple Festival here at MJF!! LOL!! |

| Today is raw and cold.The north wind is whipping away. I'm canning some pinto beans today. The first 2 times I did the dry pack method. This time the beans have soaked overnight. I hope they will be good. I'm trying to get some that look more like the ones I canned as a young mom.They were home grown, dried on the vine, shelled, washed and canned. Oh so pretty and tasty too. |

Side note about the carrot cake. Had reported that Bay took some of her cake home and what she left for them was gone. My husband had a piece after supper and a second piece as a bedtime snack with milk. He also has a piece in his lunch box. So the cake is good, family approved.
None of us like coconut flour. It is gritty. Bob's flour does not have that in it. |

| Carrot cake is Brad's favorite and he is always happy to taste test new recipes. I am going to look this one up. Thank you for sharing it, Marilyn! Did you bake it in layers or a sheet pan? |

| Gooseberry patch still has their online store but it is only cookbooks and calendars now. I loved their dishes and things they used to have. |

Darlene, love the project you are working on. I still have the magnet you painted of our henhouse logo on my fridge ... Reminds me of you everything I look at it!
When Pumpkin was much younger, we painted rocks.
One of the rocks is coloured with a crayon .... That's before I bought paint! lol The face is the only one I painted ... the others were all done by Pumpkin. Would you believe I still have all the rocks she ever gave me? I keep them in the jar/container .... my happy jar .... I have feathers, corks from special occasions etc in there.

Carole, when you are having a hard or bad time, ask your farm girl sisters for prayers.
We are all here for each other. |
