Gooseberry Patch
For all the GBP lovers out there--they now have a blog. They also have facebook and twitter. Have their blog link over to the side on my blog.
Why we can't get much done!!!
The guys were hoping to get the rest of the metal up on the shed today. The drill had to be worked on and the button is worn out, so now they are heading to buy a new drill.
I did wash down the front of the house from the moss growing on it. Got my laundry all done but will need to be folded.
Walked about 1 1/2 miles this a.m. and saw 3 deer.
Getting ready to go work in my closet. Going thru clothes and taking stuff out. Will move it to Goodwill during the week. (or else will wait till garage is cleaned and take all at once.)

Our Fish Pond
This is the fish pond in the front yard. Unfortunately this summer we did not stay up with it. So much rain in the spring and it got under and made it raise up and by the time the rain quit the grasses and garden were needing attention so....... Anyway, we have given the bullfrogs a place to stay. This picture shows about 6 frogs real visible and then along the left side of the pond you can see eyes on about 4 more. Then on the right hand side up on the ledge there is 3 sitting. When you walk by it or close to it they jump from all over.

Cheesecake Bars
This recipe has a few different names but this is the one I will use. aka Yummy Squares.
2 8 ounce packages cream cheese
2 crescent rolls
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 stick butter
cinnamon
Put 1 can of rolls in a 9X13 pan, pressing the seams together. Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together. Spread onto the flatten rolls in pan. Put the 2nd tube of flattened rolls on top of cheese mixture. Melt butter and pour on top. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. The second tube can be rolled out before being put on top.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
I had forgotten about these, until a neighbor recently had a purse party and she served them.
Of course with the diet (work is doing the Biggest Loser 3) I haven't be eating the sweets. Still make the stuff for work and family but I pass.
