SEIZED THE MOMENT ON SATURDAY

I went to Greenfield State Park in NH on Saturday. Relaxed, bbque'd with friends and enjoyed this view as I lounged amongst the tall pine trees. I had three visitors that were too quick for me and my camera. An adorable chipmunk, a curious daddy long spider or two and a very friendly baby grasshopper who jumped around on us too. The floor of the forest was covered with pine needles and roots. At the base of one of the trees nearby was this:

Many new little pine trees starting!

My first shots of the lake and surroundings were these.

Surrounded by pines!

My friends, now ages 52 and 61, grew up nearby the park, in this house. t used to be white with green trim they told me. The new owners' have kept the same name. I love it Sunnyside Cottage! I am always saying Keep on the Sunnyside!

I looked up and I was still surrounded by beautiful very tall magestic pine trees! The breezes blew all day. It was sunny but just perfect in the shade. I feel renewed!

Thanks be to God!

TIME TO GRILL

Tomorrow is FIRSTFRIDAYARTWALK on ETSY June 4, 2010

My grandson is feeling better today so I am back in my studio. It looks like rain this afternoon. No sun ~ no pictures of new items for Glenna's Garden shop http://www.gnormyle.etsy.com/ I love to grill in the summertime and when I lived in FL we grilled year round. Of course the following recipe is from Kraft foods so they mention their BBQ sauce but any would do and I also add an onion slice or two. I like to do kebobs so tomorrow's recipe will be for kebobs. Yay! It is almost the weekend again! Does anybody have any great plans for this weekend? Please share in the comments section below.

BBQ CHICKEN THE EASY WAY
from Kraft Food Recipes

What you need

1 small boneless skinless chicken breast half (1/4 lb.)

1 pineapple ring
1 green pepper ring
1 Tbsp. KRAFT Original Barbecue Sauce

HEAT grill to medium heat. Place chicken in center of large sheet of heavy-duty foil; top with remaining ingredients. BRING up foil sides. Double fold top and ends to seal packet, leaving room for heat circulation inside. GRILL 15 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Cut slits in foil to release steam before opening packet. ENJOY! These would be so easy to prepare ahead of time and then serve to guests.
