Something to smile about

Today was such an improvement over yesterday, just a few degrees warmer and the sun shining can give you something to smile about.This dogwood tree picture from last spring will bring on good spirits. I am saving some of the snow pictures for this summer when it is 99 degrees in the shade and I will be complaining again about the weather being to hot to work.That's part of a farmer's description, never happy with the weather. It's to hot or to cold or to dry or to wet. Never perfect.But, when you work outside from daylight to dark, it can get tough.Found a little bit more of that time I have been looking for to make a chocolate pie with real whipped cream topping.The chocolate pie recipe was from Sue Harris. Every small community has its well known good cooks.Since we have two Sue Harris' this one is known as Bob's Sue.The other one is Clayton's Sue.We have several women with the same first name that have their husband's name attached to the front so that we can identify them.Then, we have women with the same name so some of them go by two names, like, Nancy Ruth and Sara Ann (pronounced one word, Sarann). This is a very special place to have lived but times have changed, a lot of the people I have known were real characters, true women and men, most of them gone, they don't make them like that anymore.
