Anchor yourself

Who do you draw strength from in your time of need?  Just like this cucumber reached out to anchor itself to the tomato cage near it as it grows, we need to anchor ourselves as well. 

Psalm 25:5 says "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long."

Hebrews 6:19 "We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. "

God is my anchor when I feel weak.  HE is who I reach out to for comfort, peace, hope and more.  Hr is who I call out to, and who I sing to in my joy. 

Who do you call out to? Who or what are you anchored to?  Take some time to reflect on this today and see if you need a new anchor in your life.

Rhubarb

Rhubarb happens to be a family treat around here. Unfortunately we don't have enough good sun in our yard to grow a good crop. So we rely on friends and family for the bulk of what we eat. Oh well! Yesterday, Jeff, Jenna and I went out to the farm and gathered rhubarb there. It may be the last time we are at Jeff's grandparents farm as it has been sold. His mom advised us not to take all of the rhubarb- not a problem! I was surprised to see how much was there. It was a stock I had not known about! WOW! Anyway, here are some pictures of what we gathered and the farm in general. Jeff had lots of good times there as a child. I am sure he has many memories! Enjoy!

I miss the crunch!

Anyone else miss the crunch of a potato chip?  I love potato chips but don't like the unhealthy version. So I am on a quest to replace my chips with a healthier version.  Tonite I tried to make some out of sweet potatos.  No oil, baked not fried.  It's gonna take some tweaking if I am making them for more than just me.  Ok, I burned most of them.  However, some survived and I had them for a snack.  Here is the recipe: 1 scrubbed and washed sweet potato. Salt Pepper Water Slice the sweet potato thin (I used a mandolin ) Put them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with water Salt and pepper to taste Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes After 20 minutes, check them and flip them Bake 20 more minutes.  Watch them! Cool and store in air tight container If you have any leftover.
