Since I worked so hard last week hauling dirt with the wheel-barrow, I gave my back a break over the weekend and today! In fact, my upper back muscles were so sore I couldn't have worked them If I wanted to! It's been a beautiful day out with the temps in the lower 60's, so it was very hard for me NOT to do that sort of work! Thus, the pie!
Hopefully by my next post, I will have planted my seeds! I won't to go and do that right now, but I must make dinner! Do the dishes ever get caught up? How about the laundry, dusting, and bathrooms? It seems like I never get all the things done I need to in a day! Like the guy on Andy Griffith, tomorrow is the best day to do anything! I will be busy tomorrow! Have a nice week! Blessings from Bama!
Are these Meyer lemons? |
My first 'from scratch' lemon meringue pie! |
Which would you choose? I think I know! |
I made hand sanitizer! Thanks to Brown Thumb Mama! |
Arkansas is the land of no citrus.... but 2 years or so ago I was in Berkely California and the house we stayed in had this beautiful lemon tree outside the door. I was amazed! I just walked out and picked a few. Ah citrus.... your pie looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel! I love citrus fruit! This is the only one I've ever had from Alabama though. Thanks for stopping by! Thanks!
DeleteMy mouth is watering! I just bought a big bag of lemons and now you got me in the mood for some pie! Thanks!

You're welcome, Lisa! Hope yours turns out delicious!
DeleteGood for you making your own hand sanitizer. How do you like it? Hmmm. I would have to choose lemon pie unless that was chocolate ice cream! Nancy
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! I like the hand sanitizer! It works great and smells so much better than the other stuff! I tried to leave comments on your blog, but for some reason they didn't go through at the time. Your pies sure do look good! What size Berkey is that? I love your chimes! We keep ours tied in winter since they keep us awake at night. They're hanging on the porch. Looks like ya'll had a nice Valentine's Day! Love the message your hubs gave you! I am drinking my acv straight with cold water. Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteHi, Just read your note back to me about the hand sanitizer. I will have to try that! I don't use a lot of the hand sanitizer but it is nice to carry in the car! Hmmm. I wonder why your comments would not go through. Someone else said that too. Is it because of the words you have to type in? Do you know what I should do about it? My Berkey is the small portable one. It collapses which was nice when we went to AZ for the winter. Thanks for the suggestion about tying your chimes. We take ours down but that is a thought! Nancy
DeleteI don't use the stuff either, but I like this! I don't know why they didn't go through or about the words. I don't care for typing in those words, but there are still a few blogs who use that. Thanks for responding back!
DeleteLooks good! Such nice weather - hope you can get out and enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes! But today it's so cold and rainy! I don't like that! Maybe tomorrow will be nicer weather!
DeleteYour pie looks yummy, and I'm not that crazy for 'meringues'! You bake and cook so much, a pie crust wouldn't be a big deal at all for you. Hope your back feels better. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! It is feeling much better now since I haven't used the wheelbarrow this week! One day I will make my own crust. Hugs to you too!
DeleteLooks so good. I would love both, but of course I am on a diet. it will have to wait.
ReplyDeleteThe smoothie is great for dieting! It's full of veggies and fruit!
DeleteHey Bama Girl! I don't think those are Meyer Lemons---Meyers are more orange-y in color, and more lemon-shaped, if that makes sense. Those look like sweet lemons--not sure of the full name. Are yours sweet, less acidic?
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you came and shared this (and up to two other posts, if you'd like) at Blog Fest #20. It's live now! :)
Farm Girl Blog Fest #20
Hope to see you over there!

I'm still leaning to Meyer lemon since it tastes so vaguely familiar. It's not sweet at all, and sour like a lemon. I'll try to get over there. Thanks for the invite!
DeleteHi Bama Girl!
ReplyDeleteYour pie looks so yummy! I do love me some lemon meringue pie! Oh Yes! I love the way you try things new to you...your curiosity and interest in so many things! Great job!
By-the-way, your haircut and color look wonderful...and yes, it did adjust your age! :) Enjoy all the pics and fun things going on over at your homestead! Hugs, Cheeryshirley
Hi Shirley! Thanks! You are too kind!
