I'm having trouble resizing the pic. Guess I'd make a rotten plastic surgeon lol. See if this is better

Anyone know what this is? It is really little and delicate. It came up by itself but I have seen them along the back roads growing too. There are three flowers per stem.

I think we need a canning section lol.

I make strawberry freezer jam every year. I use the recipe off the sure gel pack. Just be sure to follow the directions exactly. and I never had much luck with it setting if I put more than it called for in the container. Anyone have a good canned apple pie filling recipe?

No Knead White Bread

6 1/2 cups All-purpose flour

2 pk "Instant Dry Yeast"

3T Sugar

1T Salt

3 cups Warm water

2T Shortening

Butter

Preparation

No kneading necessary on this one folks. Preheat oven 375 degrees.

In large mixer bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar and

salt Mix well. Add warm water (125 degrees or so) and shortening

to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened, beat 3 minutes

at med. speed. By hand, gradually stir in remaining flour to make a

stiff batter. Cover and allow to rise in warm place until double.

About 30 mins. Stir down batter. Spread in greased 9x5 or 8x4 bread pans.

Cover and allow to rise until batter reaches tops of pans,

(about 20-30 mins) Bake at 375 degrees for about 35-40 mins

til golden brown. Remove from the pans and brush with butter.

Allow to cool.

You can do this entire recipe in a Kitchen aid or heavy duty mixer. I used a wooden spoon. Just be

sure to mix thoroughly after each addition of flour to get the gluten working.

-Once I got to the stage of gradually adding the remaining 3 cups of flour

I noticed that I did not need all 3 cups and stopped after adding 2 cups...

it really does look like THICK doughy batter.

-Poured batter into 2 9x5 loaf pans, let rise for 30 min. and yep it rose

to the top of both pans.

-Baked for 35 minutes at listed temp (was CLEARLY golden brown and ready),

popped out of pans beautifully to *cool* and brush with butter.

So far we have a few dead leaves. No lesions on stems or limbs. A few of my smaller tomatoes have blossom rot though

We put moth balls around the outside of the garden in the grass. Obviously you wouldn't want to do this if you have small children but we have tons of rabbits and they don't bother the garden and the deer avoid it like the plague. I used to plant a small patch of lettuce away from the garden just for the rabbits.  They left the garden alone and I had extra lettuce. They don't like the smell of marigold either. The first year Ihad my husband plant marigolds we ended up with a hedgerow that  nothing could get through. I picked enough seeds from it to 1/2 fill a 5 gallon bucket. Everyone the next year had marigolds.

It spreads by itself. I have some I dug up and replanted a few years ago. I use it like regular garlic . Of course my regular garlic died.

(You can't kill a black-eyed Susan)

Ya wanna bet???? I have planted from seed and plant for years and have never had any come up . My thumb is so black it needs to be amputated lol

If the theater you're speakingof was the old Columbia theater it was behind what is now the Scarlet Chord across from Mens and Lauf. That's the only one I remember in Brookville so If might be wrong.

I was always told not to water from the top also. and to put fertilizer on it whenever it was suppose to. But mine always rotted and died. Now a friend of mine has them and waters from the top, never fertlizes them and even some of the eaves are in the water. They are beautiful . Now go figure.

I don't know but I thought I was in trouble when I saw the title of the thread lol.

I usually try and plan a week' worth of meal. We just got aback from Tops in

Brookville. We got almost 300.00 worth of groceries and HBC for 125.00. Stocked up farely well

On the bottle of Terro I have it says to keep away from pets and children so I try not use it in the house. I do have bay leaves so I'll give it a try. I'm not  using the bumble bee solution and use gas though lol Thanks

My flowers are coming up and blooming amist this stupid snow. But under the  rock border there are thousands of little black viscious ants. Fpr little critters they sure bite hard Now they are coming into the house. Any suggestions on what to  use? I was using Terro but it doesn't seem to work on these ants. I need something that is safe for animals to be around. don't want my snoopy furbabies getting sick.

I use tapioca for thickening in pies and for tapioca pudding.

The reason we thought it was up by hilltop was because of the position of the route signs and the position of the way the picture is taken.. MMMM  wonder where it is?

I had a lot of pictures of Brookville but they were all lost in a fire

The second unknown I think is up by Hilltop (one stop) at the intersection of 322 and 28 to Hazen.

Great pictures. Have any more lol????

After the pumpkin seed experience last year, we're just buying plants lol.

There is alot of interesting things that happened in Brookville way back when. I've lived here all my life and never heard of some of it.

I found the name of one the people that signed the certificate and tried to call but the lines been busy. At least it's someplace to start

Thanks. I looked everywhere or so I thought

Yes. It belonged to my husbands uncle. He quite active in the goings ons in Brookville.
