Wild West and Our Last Meal


This is a picture I just snapped while looking out the window at the hailstorm this morning.The camera was in my hand..and I said to myself....snap a picure! The pathways are rivers.My poor fruit trees that we just planted. When I wanted to get them in before the rain...I had no idea it was going to be a deluge.....the
garden is in the front of Farmhouse.... all those raised beds are ponds...it used to be an herb and flower garden... those bare white fences are where I grow sweet peas...last year in the spring you saw no fence..just sweet peas...when you walked in the gate on a warm day it smelled like bubble gum....I always wonder if I should put in something not so seasonal cause the fence is bare in winter...but I still love my sweet pea fences.I wonder what will be left after the water drains? I'm not complaining. I know...I don't dare complain...this is nothing....
I promise...this is the last chapter in the Mushroom saga. There it is. We had it last night...and it was worth the wait.Oh yeah, and that's boxed dried pasta. I overcooked the fresh pasta.Forgot how fast that cooks. That will teach me.

  2. Your pasta always looks amazing, fresh or boxed. I love the way you twist it up with the goodies on top. I'm gaining weight just sitting here looking at it!

  3. Wish I'd been there to share your pasta - AND
    the mushrooms. I don't doubt your garden is looking a bit bedraggled if you got the storm we just had a little while ago up here. There was a single huge display of lightning, followed by an instantaneous boom of thunder - we lost power for about five minutes...have had several torrential downpours

  4. wow, that's a lot of rain, hang in there. Lovely meal, I only ever eat box dried pasta anyway. Where do you get your fresh pasta?

  5. hi....i am so glad you found me. i just signed on to follow you. if you love halloween then you did hit the jackpot. when you have time, hop around my blog. if you run into some big chinks of raw meat don't run away. i just promised everyone i will not flash raw meat right out front anymore. i cook a LOT and lose sight of how gross raw ingredients can be! check out my salem and fall trips and my witch collection. if you like the movie 'practical magic' then check that out on my sidebar. i have the original spellbook from the movie as well as sally's umbrella. i am very unlike most halloween sites in that i am not about spooky things and decorations but more about authentic witch items. i believe i have the largest witch collection in existence. i love the looks of your blog and will be all over it tonight when i have more time! please don't get swept off the continent with the storms just when we have found each other!!!

  8. I'm sure your garden will be just fine. We planted over 150 privet hedges one year only to have an early spring snow two days later. I was so worried they would die but they did just fine!

    That pasta dish looks so tempting! And there's nothing wrong with boxed pasta, it's so much faster and easier!

  11. Your pasta looks sooooo delicious :D

    Sometimes it's hard but we have to accept weather as it is. Here, we're having a hot Summer with some thunderstorms, too. I sometimes complain about it but we can't do anything at all ... Well, but nature also gives us Springtime and we can have some good weather :)
    All we have to do as to watch "nature's dance" through its seasons :)

    Kisses in your heart, dear friend :)

  12. Your dinner looks like it was great. I'm sure all the rain outside made it taste even better, being all cozy and warm. Keep the sweet peas, they are one of my favorites.

  13. I am glad your funghi was finally eaten. Dried pasta to the rescue.
    Fingers crossed your garden survives the downpour okay.

  14. Wow...that's a lot of rain. Hopefully, we won't see too much of that this April. I'm glad you enjoyed your wild mushroom dinner. Great means are worth living for in my book.

  18. Oh my, that pasta looks deeeelicious.
    I can't wait to see photos of your sweet peas. For some reason I never manage to grow them in the profusion that you spoke of. Perhaps I can live vicariously through you.
    I'm sure your garden will be fine....don't worry. xoxo

  20. Makes me happy to come here. I heard that Tuesday night there was 1" sized hail in Monterey County. Doesn't that blow your mind?! Go stomp in the puddles...it will make you feel better. My son said that this is just God peeing. Hmmm...interesting take on things. Holly
