Yesterday I was out front sweeping the leaves off of my sidewalk and driveway. My neighbor across the street was using a leaf blower on his. When he finished he asked if I wanted him to do mine. I himmed and hawwed and finally I said sure. He and I finished in record time. He even scooped up the leaves as I held the bags open. I thanked him profusely.
I saw that my next door neighbor was also getting leaves off his sidewalk. So I went and helped him.
Good deeds don't have to be huge undertakings. Smile at the people you pass, open a door, let someone ahead of you in line at a store, let a car get into traffic. There so much that we can do for others.
Today is my beloved's birthday. I bought her a bracelet and a birthday card that has music and you can record a message. I will bake a Black Cake with a boiled frosting.
I haven't been writing about my culinary skills lately. I made pumpkin raisin nut bread. Yesterday I made buttermilk biscuits. The biscuits were good with strawberries and whipped cream. I better stop I'm making myself hungry and its only 4am and breakfast isn't until 8am.
Also yesterday we did the thing that I dread most...cleaning the curtains. This time it wasn't that bad. I actually rehung the curtains without getting frustrated and pouting. It went soooo much better than ever. SEE? There's is hope in doing things I dread!
That's all the eggs I have today.

I love biscuits! Especially the homemade kind, and especially warm right out of the oven. Preferably with a sausage patty and apricot jam sitting inside. My dad ate sausage every day of his life until he found out that pork was giving him migraines. Mom switched to turken sausage, but it just wasn't the same. And he would sneak ham sometimes at Thanksgiving or Christmas, but it always made him sick. Hey, it was his choice. I guess he valued the ham over being headache-free.
You cook so much, so often, do you and Margaret eat it all yourselves, or do you share some with neighbors? (Just wondering!)

I too love sausage biscuits and gravy. I did make some the other day.
We give alot of the cooked and baked goods to my daughter (Mandy) and grandson. Mandy gives some to her neighbor. I guess they are spoiled by my gifts. I do it to help them they all are on welfare and don't have much in the way of finances. They love the food I share with them.
You gave me a good idea to share with my neighbors. I will start to give some to them.
Have a good day!
Dave
