Gardening Composting


After mowing I rake up all the grass clippings to use in my garden.






Adding the grass clippings right on the garden soil.

Along with some veggie scrapes.

Till it all under...composting with yard clippings.


In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times: ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:7,8

Chocolate Pudding Cake

My husbands grandmother Della was an old fashioned country cook.  This was one of her amazing desserts.  If you are in the mood for something very chocolate and very sweet. Then you will love this chocolate pudding cake.  When you first make it you may think it is odd to pour water all over the dry batter before placing it in the oven.  It sounds crazy, but the water poured over the dry batter (no stirring) makes the pudding.    Beware! It is hard to stop at one piece.
