A DAY IN THE LIFE OF..............July 13, 2011
Got to bed around 10:30pm last night, had watched the weather report hoping for a chance of rain.  Said, "no rain in sight, it all went south".   Laid in bed and saw a flash, then another. I thought it must be from down south where the storms are, BUT the flashes came more frequently and got bigger and bigger and finally heard the thunder.  Youza!!!! Is that rain hittin' the roof?  We live in a big aluminium barn and all of a sudden it sounded like someone was throwing golf balls on the roof.  YES!!!! Rain!!! Oh how we needed it and most of all the farmers needed it.  Their corn fields were turnin' brown, their soybean fields were dyin'.  I hope it came in time.  Rained 1/2 the day today and got about 3/4 in.
Peaches are in at the Mennonite store down the way so tomorrow I will be cannin' peaches. 

FARM COUNTRY REMEDIES:
For Athlete's Foot = apply apple cider vinegar liberally (Fannie Schrock & Mrs. Adin Yutzy)

Bleeding = To stop bleeding of wounds, use red pepper. This works on humans as well as animals.  (Betty Yoder)

Country Recipe:
Fruit Cookie Pizza

Sugar Cookie dough - spread on a pizza pan and put in the oven to bake - don't let it get crispy.

Slice up strawberries, kiwi, grapes

When Pizza cookie is done - let cook and spread it with strawberry cream cheese, then add the sliced fruit in a nice design

Place in refrig to set - after about an hour remove and slice like a pizza
It is delicious.
