Monday Finally

As most of you know mondays and tuesdays are my weekend this time of year.Thursday through sunday we are either out picking or doing markets..This weeks adventures didn't turn out as planned so I'm thankful for monday..smile..Friday I planned a trip to a differnt area to pick and to check out a flea market in the area.It was supposed to be 3 community sales in the area.Well it was all baby stuff and not worth the hour drive.So I was talking to hubby and asking why we never go to a town that is about a hour from us and decided to check the listings and as luck would have it they were having their town yardsale saturday.We left early and got there about 6:30 am stopped at one sale and started off to search for more.I was so excited old houses,small town and old treasures to be found.Well stop #2 water and smoke coming from the jeep.My thermostat broke and the hose broke( Had a hole).Hubby had no tools with him and we are so rural, we are sure or friend would not find us.Heck we weren't even sure were we were.LoL so I punch in the GPS for a garage.Great just 1/3 mile so we poured some water in and chanced getting there..Closed Saturday..So we figure we are stuck and facing a big tow bill home.I looked over the hill and saw a lady setting up yardsale so walked down to ask if she had any tools.She gave us the tools and water so hubby was able to fix it till we could get back to town.I was sooo thankful for the kindness of strangers.I offered her some money but she refused saying she was helped before and happy to return it.I'm still dissapointed missing all those "Old House" sales but thankful we got home safely.Hubby fixed it right away once we got the part and took me to a few local sales...Usually we go berry picking at a local farm but this year the weird weather has affected the crops so they didn't have the pick your own but did have strawberries left...

Yummm my favorite part of summer fresh fruits and veggies that taste like real food. I love to grow and go to local farms and stands to get them at their freshest.I bought a whole flat to freeze,nibble and bake these.....

Yummy scones!!! See mondays can be wonderful..smile..I got the recipe at http://confessionsoftart.blogspot.com/2009/03/strawberry-scones.html  The only thing I changed was I used whipping cream sometimes called heavy cream and added 2 capfulls of vanilla extract and added a little less cream because the fresh strawberries were juicy. Let me tell you they are delicious!! Moist and springy! They freeze well too but I don't think they'll make it that long..smile...Hope you all have a great week!~Amy
