Ten things I will miss when Summer is gone.

Summer will linger a bit longer here in the South,

but autumn is definitely on her way.

We had tea on the balcony yesterday morning, and there was just a tiny bit of a "nip" in the air.

 

So, I am taking a few minutes to appreciate some of my favorite things about the season.

 

1. Wild Grapes.

2. Bright flowers.

3. Spontaneous cooling off in the sink.

4. Mushrooms.

5. Tiny visitors.

6. Tea on the balcony with my Sweet Husband.

7. Home made Ice Cream.

8. Summer sunsets.

9. Leaving the door open in the evenings and listening to the night.

10. More lovely flowers, these smell great.

What are your favorite parts of Summer?

 

Cheers,

Kat



Keeping cool, the old fashioned way.

Summer is winding down a little and it is time to appreciate it before it is gone.

We are still pretty warm here at Kat's Corner.

My Sweet Hubby had a great idea to cool down the other day.

We have had this old "White Mountain Freezer" for years and it has seen a lot of use.

This is the first time we have use it this year (what were we thinking?).

See the cylinder in the middle?

The ingredients go in there.

We use; UHT half and half cream,

powdered sugar,

Natural Vanilla,

and a little skim milk.

Once all the pieces are put together, you add ice and "ice cream salt".

Then you find a shady spot and take turns cranking.

Check when it gets difficult to crank.

It is done when it looks like this.

Who gets to clean the beaters?

Doesn't that look good?

Have a great Sunday.
