Happy Thursday

Looking out my window this morning and seeing the zinnias at the lamp post are still blooming and looking pretty.  
Morning glories still growing strong and this one a volunteer growing in my pot with a boxwood and snapdragon.  I pushed it close to the sliding door so it could run up the side.  I don't like things growing for long on the walls of my house, but this won't last long and it's pretty. 


Got a few tomatoes and snap beans canned.
a few jars of tomatoes

Raspberry bread (more like a cake to me) right out of the oven.



flour, baking powder, sour cream, butter. I whipped the eggs and that is why it is probably more like a cake.
Vanilla and little cinnamon.
frozen raspberries mixed with little flour and mixed in.  
I mixed confectioners' sugar, heavy cream and butter. 
drizzled over cake or bread.
I didn't have real butter to mix with my flour along with other ingredients, so I used a stick of imperial margarine and Sauers butter flavor extract.  I usually like butter better but didn't have it.  


O.k. next post will be some decorating or spreading a little autumnal color around the house. I don't like to overdo it.  Little touches here and there.  Well sometimes it balloons, will see what kind of mood I get in. 
I started with some leaf garland.  

O.k. leaf garland and now on to the rest
Have a great day!

Oh wow, that raspberry bread looks delicious. I won't be able to fit into my fall jeans if I keep reading your blog! My daughter is coming over this weekend and we're going to make the chocolate cake! I cannot wait!
