A blustery day!

We had a crazy storm last week and to quote Winnie the Pooh, it was a "blustery day!" We had some rain, but not a lot and then the wind moved in. We were looking out our front window, watching little branches fall down.  Thankfully, they were small.  Some people, quite close to us were not so lucky.

Here's a few photos from the next day.

These are branches from our yard - not huge, but still over 8 feet long!

This is my sisters house, right around the corner from us. They also had their grill blow right across the deck and a cabinet on the lower level blow over.

This is just down the street from our house.

Someone's mailbox is under that debris.

Another one that's around the corner from our house.

The same tree from another angle.

See the sign out front?  It says "Don't stop praying".  It was out there before the storm and is always true!

Bob picked up 5 wagons of debris from our yard and this is the pile he was making to chip it all up.

We're thankful to have had just this little mess to deal with and just a short time without power.

Friday Funny - Happy May!

 

Cooking Thursday

I came across the following recipe recently when I had an extra pie crust in the fridge.  I had made a one crust pie, and was left with the second one, so this was the perfect way to use it.
These little hand pies were so cute and very tasty, and so easy to make!

Mini Air Fryer Cherry Hand Pies

1 pie crust, rolled to 1/8th inch thick
Cherry pie filling
Coarse sugar for sprinkling

Use 3 inch round cookie or biscuit cutter to cut circles out from crust.
Add 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling to the center of the circle, fold it over and use a fork to crimp the edges.
Use a sharp knife to cut a small slit on the top of each pie.
Brush top with water and sprinkle sugar crystals on top.
Preheat air fryer to 350 degrees.
Place pies in basket in single layer.
Bake for about 9 minutes, until golden brown.
