More morel mushrooms & homemade pies

 oh yes, more morels have been caught!
NICE SHROOMIES!!!
more hunting outback, these were the pics of the day
one happy hubby
so he can clean them up for supper, my daughter wanted to make a pie, cherry pie to be exact, so she set to making her pie and I set to making my apple crumb pie, so we broke out a jar of our apple pie filling that we had canned for me and she set to making a pretty pie for herself,
LOL yes she is 15 and Justin Bieber is her idol right now, she even learned how to make pretties for on top of the pie and how to crimp the edges, never too late to learn, someday she can make it all from scratch for me
and my apple crumb topped pie

Recipe for the apple pie filling we canned and I used for my pie
if you want a crumb topping on your pie, just mix your oatmeal, brown sugar and a little flour, half a stick of butter and crumble it on top instead of putting a lid on the pie

and yes, I like to make my own recipe books and digital scrapbook as well, this is a page from my recipe book.


the finished pies! YUMMY!!
It's sprinkling outside, but makes for some pretty photo snapping, the hosta are coming in pretty good out under the old maple tree
hosta around the dogwood tree are filling in pretty nice too
the old split rail fence was here but I added all the other plants and have some double clematis planted on each post, they were a birthday gift from a friend that I transplanted from the old house and they survived the winter YEAH!
You can see I finally got the front window trim painted, had to put rocks under the ladders one leg to have it stand properly, but it worked ok, and see the strip of flowers along the walkway, all those were transplants from the old house and all are looking great, they must be happy here :)
