Simply Practical: Candy Roaster Pumpkin plant

Mine sure is this time of year! Since I've been making plum jelly this week, and a cake, I've really gone through a lot of sugar! Every time I open a new bag, it is all clumped up! It stays like that, too, unless I do something to get the lumps out. Just had that on my mind!

We finally got some rain today! Yay! We actually got a small shower the night I wrote my last post, and boy, was I glad! It's been so hot and humid, and I have to water the garden every day! I finally got another sprinkler to help with the job, but I still have to move it around a lot. I have some garden photos below.

The hubs and I are sitting here, looking through our bird books trying to find a bird I've been seeing as I walk, the past few days. It is the most beautiful blue I have ever seen! It' solid blue with a gold beak. It doesn't even come close to looking like the bluebirds I see here! The hubs thinks it's a tropical bird that's in migration or migrated here for the summer. I'll let ya'll know if we find out what it is. It's hard to believe that today is June first! We have a couple of birthdays and an anniversary this month. We will be celebrating twenty-one years! It doesn't seem like it at all! Before we know it, it will be fall again! Stay cool! Ya'll have a great weekend! Blessings from Bama!

Another batch of plum jelly.

Lumpy sugar!

She's been a busy lady!

Cooling the cakes.

Not so pretty, but oh, so good!

I went out to the garden the other day and found the sunflower had hit the ground! I propped it against the fence, but it's looking puny. I tied the other sunflower to the fence post in hopes to save it from hitting the ground.
