Thankful Thursday Thanks to Brian!

 Thanks to Brian for Thankful Thursday! We were just now talking to our good friends in Weed California....and we once again realized how much we appreciate our few years living there and how much we miss our sweet friends there. 

We only wish we could be in living in two places at the same time..... if only................but that doesn't happen does it?

onto our loved ones......I can only

hope they are light footed and happy.

Happy Tuesday! May 4, 2021

The Iris that we got at 

Monet's Garden years and years ago

They are such lovely flowers and 

they have such a sweet floral fragrance!

Oh, I know I have posted these flowers before....

but they just make me so happy each year!

Have a great day!

Bees are very important !

They pollinate a third of our food. That's right!
One out of every three bites you put in your mouth was pollinated by honeybees. In addition to pollinating crops such as apples, almonds, broccoli strawberries, cucumbers and cotton, bees also pollinate alfalfa seeds which are used for beef and dairy feed.

And let's not forget the honey they make!

Thursday May 20, 2021 is Bee Day!

Have a sweet and awesome day every day!!

2021 A to Z Challenge and Feline Friday!! April 30, 2021

According to Wikipedia: The ocelot is a wild cat native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Margarita. A medium-sized cat, it is characterized by solid black spots and streaks on its coat, round ears, and white neck and undersides. 

Z is for Zesty Mexican Soup!

Here's the recipe! It's been super fun putting together 

this years A to Z challenge! Hope you enjoyed it too!

Zesty Mexican Soup

Ingredients:

2 cups cubed cooked chicken 

1 can (14 oz) chicken broth

1 can (11.5 oz) vegetable juice cocktail

1 can (11 oz) whole kernel corn, 

red and green peppers, undrained

1 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa

1 can (4.5 oz) Old El Paso™ chopped green chiles

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro 

Directions:

1. In large saucepan, mix all ingredients except cilantro. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat.

2.Reduce heat to low; simmer 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro.

Instead of crackers, you could serve this spicy soup garnished with a dollop of sour cream and corn tortilla chips.

This is a perfect soup for when you want to fix dinner quickly and it's tasty too! Enjoy!
