I remember you posting ...What a great gift for you.<br />I remember you posting about pickling Okra one time. So when I saw some seeds on offer, I bought them. They are about 4" high right now, they will have to stay in pots because my garden isn't suitable for planting in the ground, any advice on growing them ? I've never done it before.<br />I thought even if I didn't get any fruit then I may have the lovely white flowers to enjoy.<br />Thanks for visiting.Kitty Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844056332086042474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-9442677722036965232015-07-04T20:00:53.644-07:002015-07-04T20:00:53.644-07:00Lovely fabric!

I have a recipe for refrigerator sweet/hot pickles but it makes so many that I can't cut it down enough for just one person. They are just delicious and I can eat a whole small jar almost instantly but have no one to help me with a gallon of them.<br /><br />The material looks lovely. What a nice selection of colors. Such a nice neighbor to think of you that way. I bet you have nice neighbors mostly because you were a nice neighbor to begin with and they are just returning the favor. Good neighbors are sometimes hard to come by.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-66434067252972224052015-07-04T15:36:18.543-07:002015-07-04T15:36:18.543-07:00What a lovely stack of fabric your neighbor gave y...What a lovely stack of fabric your neighbor gave you! I think that was very nice of you to give her 2 dozen eggs and I am sure she was tickled pink. She got to rehome something she wasn't going to use and then wound up with 2 dozens eggs. :O)... A bargain for everyone! :O).... I keep a jar of cucumbers going too in the fridge till my vines stop making.. I love refrigerator pickles.. Course I think just about anything pickled is good :O). If Eli and Keeper ever met they would have so much fun playing together, plus they would think they were looking at themselves LOL as they so look a like ...

I'll have to try something like your recipe.<br />Score on the fabric, how nice!

I enjoyed your story about sweet liver tea. It reminded me of a Sunday school student who when I asked what song would you like to sing? His hand went up and said that he wanted to sing the gravy song. The gravy song? I don't think I know that, can you sing it for us? He started out, "Up from the gravy arose". Every time we sing that song I think of him and that was thirty years ago, LOL.<br />Happy 4th of July.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-3234655096061200142015-07-04T11:25:20.262-07:002015-07-04T11:25:20.262-07:00Love that fabric, lucky you, mind you what goes ro...Love that fabric, lucky you, mind you what goes round comes round and I bet that you bring good luck upon yourself.

Makes me think of when we were kids in the 50's as that's how most days went. My neighbor across the street just came over with a big tub of cut up watermelon. I will have to think of some way to fill up the tub before I take it back to her. Happy, happy 4th!At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.com
