Peach PIE at home...

I made a homemade pie with a little help from Philsbury pie crusts.
Years ago I used to make my own fluffy delicious pie crusts but...
Now I can use all the help I can find...
It turned out okay and smelled luscious while baking!

Eclipses and Clouds

We live in the high desert where it hardly ever rains or is cloudy. So, yesterday we had light rain and thick clouds which only parted for a little while to let us see a partial eclipse but we weren't over the direct path anywhere but it was fascinating to watch it on TV.

Clouds got in the way
Partial eclipse through my collander as we didn't have any special glasses
Great coverage on TV especially when the total eclipse darkened crowds

Needing a RECHARGE?

In this day of multiple electronie devices, sometimes I feel like I need a station to plug me into to GET RECHARGED? It's been a long hot summer this year with a few medical challenges to overcome, BUT now that Fall is in the air-it's only 69 degrees at 6 am rather than 80 degrees––I'm reinvigorated. It always seem that way each year. Somehow with school starting even though my sons now have kids in school, I start to get a better routine going and work on some new projects.

My projects are mostly poetic as President of Dixie Poets, chair of the Youth Poetry Contest now in its 7th year and also finalizing some details for Poetry in the Park for next March plus will serve as Daughters of Utah Pioneers Historian for my camp to try to motivate them to write and collect their family histories. Then I'm doing several blogs and miscellaneous projects AND hubby just decided to trip to Texas for his 55th HS reunion-so that will be a fun adventure. Probably too many projects, but it's fun to feel my energies return as the sun heads south towards fall and winter.

How about you, what are you looking forward to?
