The Blackberry Patch

                           The Blackberry Patch

                          Drifting down an old dirt road in the country
                          I watched as the dust made clouds around my car
                         Passing the time away while I listened to the radio
                         To some old country tunes I have not heard in a while

                         The sun was shining and there was a slight breeze
                         My once long hair was doing it's best to move about
                         I was satisfied with the day coming to an end
                        As long as tomorrow would be just as good
           
                        I watched what was left of the setting sun sink lower
                                

The Blackberry Lady of the Patch


As you know, I am the Blackberry Lady of the Patch...
And I love having you at the patch!  Leave your recipes and comments, please!

Grandma's Best Loved, Handed Down Recipes

 
Feather Your Nest
 
Grandma's Best-Loved, Handed-Down Recipes!
 
 
Dear Friends,  Welcome to a Special edition of Feather Your Nest!  Around our neck of the woods, these days are somewhat grey and rainy with temps slowly going down.  It's a great time of year to have hot chocolate and a cozy fire when te kids get in from school.  Then, whip up a steamy pot of soup for supper.  How do you fill these early fall days? 
 
With a fresh new school year ahead of us, we've got so much to celebrate with you!  First up is our brand new cookbook.  Grandma's recipes...and what's  not to love?  Everyone knows that Grandma's dishes were   the best-loved of any in the recipe box.  These tried & dishes are the ones that have been handed down from one generation to the next.  Include simple hand crafts, too!
 
Let's honor these special ladies in our lives.  Introduce us to YOUR grandma...share a photo or memory, or both!  We can't wait to meet her!
 
There is a special lady, Michelle Cross Sears that gave us our first craft idea from her Granny Rosie!  Thank you so much, Michelle!
 
Thanks for joining us for another edition of Feather Your Nest...stay warm and dry this month.
 
Here's to a great fall and winter ahead!
Betty & Ed
