Can you believe it's Christmas Eve!!
I've just pulled a pan of brown sugar chew bread from the oven...
The first bit of baking I've done for Christmas! Hope to get three chocolate pecan pies in the oven next, and make a pan of fudge (wonder why, make a pan of fudge, reminded me of "pick a bale of cotton". Need to be wondering about my mind these days! :)
Just wanted to stop a minute and wish you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
and this! is Peach Jam with Rum! It is delicious! I've eaten some. (maybe that's why I was thinking about picking a bale of cotton earlier). Just kidding. I didn't even taste the rum. Thank you so much Vic!!
Thank you for reading my silly blog. I love you all my blogging friends, and appreciate your friendship.

Whey~Hey! Yep! The Eve of Christmas..Takes me back when
ReplyDeletel was a boy..to the old country..midnight mass..three
hours of it, the wailing and gnashing of teeth, then at
midnight..the coming of the lord...Allelujah! Praise the
lord! Give homage to the lord! Heavens above! And, there's
me thinking..'wonder what Father Christmas has brought me'.
HeHe! :o). Good old days...!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing my daughter on Friday, she'll be
bringing me, amongst other things, some of her home made jams
and chutneys, of which, she's won prizes for..well..she had a
good teacher..Bless!x
Henny! Hope you and yours have a great Christmas..not forgetting
ALL the lovely people who comment, all makes for a wonderful Blog..
God Bless everyone...!!! ❄️ 🎁💐
And Henny...Just in case you forget the words...🎶🎶
Gonna jump down
Turn around
Pick a bale of cotton
Gonna jump down
Turn around
Pick a bale a day..
Oh, Lordy
Pick a bale of cotton
Oh,Lordy
Pick a bale a day
Oh, Lordy
Pick a bale of cotton
Oh, Lordy

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and Poppy Henny! Thank you for your lovely blog! xxx
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you all and God bless.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about that brown sugar chew bread. Never heard of it, but I suspect I'd love it.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter's family and my son's family (I'm new to saying that - they had twins in May!!) will be here soon, but I wanted to stop and wish some of my favorite bloggers a Merry Christmas. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas! I too see the Cardinal! Right now we have one slamming himself into our window all day long. I tried to put a sticker up there in case he's seeing himself in the glass and wanting to fight, but it does no good. He's been doing it for days... the inside cats are fascinated.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your dear husband and your critters.
ReplyDeleteThe cardinal looks really neat on the tin roof.

Merry Christmas, HP! Your cottage home looks perfect and festive.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are ready! Save me a piece of chocolate pecan pie, PRETTY PLEASE?
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family, those with two legs and those with four! xo
Merry Christmas dear friend!! I've never seen a Cardinal but they must be one of the most beautiful birds.
ReplyDeleteChocolate pecan pie sounds absolutely wonderful. Enjoy a piece for me.
Merry Christmas!! I love the cardinal on the roof so beautiful! I love you bunches!
ReplyDeleteA very Merry Christmas to you and your family.
ReplyDeletePardon the raggedy look? Are you kidding, all I see is charm . . . pure country delight. I love the way you decorated your porch and railing. I looks so inviting and welcoming :)
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, sweet friend,
Connie :)
So enjoy reading your blog and learning about your home in the woods! Merry Christ and Happy New Year to you and Poppy and all the animals your life entails.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
ReplyDeleteI'm just about to call it a night but I needed to come here and wish you and your family a beautiful and wonderful Christmas. I can't even remember when I began to follow your blog, but I believe it was in 2018 and I wanted to say it is great to stop by and see what's happening with your animals and the sewing you do and your gardening, too. I share many of your posts with my mom who loves your guinea hens and bunnies And goats! Your writing is funny and I always look forward to reading it. Many many blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteA Merry Christmas to you too.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Henny :) Oh that brown sugar chew bread looks great! So nice to see a cardinal, we don't see them often here, but we get a rare glimpse during the summer!

ReplyDeleteLets have a poem...
Coffee With A Cardinal...By..Jeff Gaines...
Cardinal Oh, Cardinal
You great scarlet bird.
You hop along my porch rail
But you don't say a word.
Defiant..So Defiant
Of nature's camouflage.
There is no way to hide
Your bright red entourage.
Orange..Bright Orange.
Your sharp pointy beak.
Gathers the worms and the seeds
All the meals that you seek.
Feed..Feed her.
This mate that you court.
Such a noble young man
You dance and cavort.
Sing..Sing sweet
You and your friends
I'll love your songs every morning
'Til winter comes 'round again.
Babies..Your babies
I'll meet them come next year.
When in the Fall, they'll alight on my porch
And bring my morning's cheer.
Cardinal..Oh, Cardinal
I'm so glad you're here, you see.
I knew your parents and now you have come
Singing just for me....
Lovely photos again, the brown sugar chew bread sounds intriguing, would you share the recipe. I am playing catch up blog reading after a few days off line.
ReplyDeleteA little late but Merry Christmas! I enjoy looking at your blog. Have a wonderful New Year! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHenny...I got a surprise in the mail today. I just LOVE it. :)Thank you so, so much. xo
ReplyDeleteHenny Penny, If at all possible, would you be willing to share the chew bread recipe? It sounds like an old-fashioned southern recipe that would fit right in up here in the cold north. I like your porch door with the wreath. It says "Welcome, Merry Christmas."
ReplyDeleteI'm looking up a chew bread recipe and making some soon! Thanks!
