Wise Words

It's called the Optimist Creed. Written by Christan D. Larson in 1912

Promise yourself to...

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
...
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

First lot of the pickles..

Hello all , i know iv been absent for a while ...but you no how it can get busy and time just slips bye !!

Any way the other night we had some pretty strong winds sweep through and lets just say one of my tomato plants took a battering , so i picked the tomato's of it and made a few jars of tomato and chili relish and some green tomato pickles , speaking of tomato's i just came in from giving them a water and looks as if I'll be making more relish this week , as well as I'm going to pickle some zucchini's , and my chili plants are so full so thinking i will have to do something with those as well .... and not to mention pumpkins my vines have over run every where lol and there's quite a few pumpkins on them to looking forward to harvesting them in the future before the Autumn frost !!
