IN NEED OF A SCARECROW

March 17, 2016

By Olivene Godfrey

Here in Georgia's high country, spring is busting out all over.  Our crooked pear tree is covered with pretty white blossoms, promising another crop of delicious pears, if the crows don't devour them first.  We need one or more scarecrow to scare the troublesome crows away.

A few years ago I tried to make pear preserves which was a huge mistake.  I mentioned my attempt one spring and our friend, Kym and her mother, made some delicious preserves.  After several hours of preparing and cooking the preserves, Kym said, "no way" she'd ever make them again.

We recently had our favorite landscaper come out to clean the yard and prune the shrubbery along with our large crepe myrtle.  So, now we are ready for Mother Nature to take over, Lord willing, and we don't have more frosty weather.

Barry keeps the lawn looking pretty with his riding lawnmower.  He enjoys using the lawnmower, not so much the weed eating, but he does it anyway.

News from our kitchen and dining room - We are enjoying eating Lays baked potato chips which have less fat than the traditional potato chips.  Barry and I think the baked ones taste more like potatoes.

See you next time.  Comments welcome.  (Edited and typed by Tam.)
