Hello Friends! 😊😊😊
I'm a little late with my Sunday post today...so much has been going on. Have you ever seen a rainbow in the fog? I haven't! I wonder if there's a pot of gold beyond those trees? 😊
Alex and I went for a walk last night. The sky was so beautiful, the Waxing Crescent Moon was bright in the sky!
There were very few clouds in the sky, but they reflected the sunset beautifully.
We sat by the river for a while. I thought the reflection of the clouds in the water was pretty. We heard coyotes too.
I'm linking up today with Eileen's Saturday's Critters post. If you want to join in or check out other posts, just click on the link!
Cow! Not mine! 😊
Sleepy Jack - he's mine and in my heart forever! 💕
Raccoon tracks?
This was such a delicious meal...Cauliflower and Jarlsberg Quiche. Quiches are simple to make. As long as you have a good crust recipe, all you need to do is layer your veggies, a mix of milk and eggs then load it up with the cheese of your choice!
If you have fresh basil to use up, try making my Sundried Tomato and Basil Pesto. It's really good on crackers with a little Cheddar shredded on top!
I found a tomato farm last week and I scored a great price on 120 pounds of Roma tomatoes that I'll be canning for the winter. I have to call the owner of the farm tomorrow to see if they're ready. Fingers crossed this drought hasn't affected them too badly!
🎅🎅🎅 I will be adding this to my posts for a few weeks: Please contact me via my contact form on the right side bar of my blog if you want to be on my Christmas card list! And also please contact me if you have been previously so I can give you my new address! 🎅🎅🎅
If time permits, I'll be posting a small garden update on Tuesday, if not, I'll see you Thursday for our art date, the theme is Still Life! 😊
That quiche looks delicious. I like to make vegetarian frittata because it doesn't involve a crust, which is hard for me to make.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteNeat captures of the foggy rainbow and the crescent moon. The reflection of clouds and sunset are lovely. The cow is so cute, they have beautiful faces. Your Jack is a cutie, he looks comfy. The quiche sounds delicious and the Pesto looks yummy too. Thank you for linking up your post. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great new week!
Who knows if you go you will never find him * smile *
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a rainbow in the fog either, it looks beautiful.
How cute your Jack and the cow!
So beautiful the reflected in the water, great photos!
The food looks so delicious .. I would like to eat now too.
I wish you a happy new week, hug Elke
Love all of your beautiful photos today, especially the rainbow - very cool. I make lots of quiches too and that sun dried tomato basil pesto sounds delicious! Have a fantastic week :)
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you had thought about the raw milk situation for making your cheese. Since I saw the picture of the cow here I was just thinking maybe you could talk to the owner about letting you have raw milk in exchange for cheese. I mean like who's going to send the police around in the boonies to get you?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, beautiful pictures
Hi Rain, your photos are gorgeous. Love the foggy 🌈🌈🌈, never seen one like that. The cow is lovely, and your Jack always tugs at my heart strings.And the quiche sounds delish. I cooked today for the first time in 5 weeks, spaghetti with tomato and basil sauce, yessssss! Have a good week and take care. Hugs to you and your family! Valerie
ReplyDeleteYour food looks amazing! You sound so happy and content, love it!
ReplyDeleteThe nature pictures really are the best Rain. So happy that you have found such a beautiful place to live.
ReplyDeleteNothing good comes of cauliflower. Nothing...
Always good to connect with a fellow Canadian. We had actually hoped to spend a few weeks in the Maritimes this year but COVID put an end to those plans. You are right, quiche is an easy dish to make, and it is always delicious! Thanks for coming by my blog.
ReplyDeleteYou take such lovely photos. The sunset as well as it reflected in the water is so relaxing. I make fritattas as they do not require crusts. We do not have them often though.
ReplyDeleteIncredible sky views!
ReplyDelete...gorgeous images!!! I just canned 2 1/2 bushels of tomatoes at $6/ 1/2 bushel. My canning shelves in the basement are loading up!
ReplyDeleteNice foggy rainbow capture. The cow is looking right at you. :) Sleepy Jack is resting and looks very very comfortable. Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHow pleasant to discover your beautiful blog, Rain!
ReplyDeleteThank you for dropping by Our Natural Places to let us know how to find you.
All of your photographs are simply wonderful! We're happy to see there are more folks out there who still can tomatoes. Garden freshness in the winter is hard to beat.
As for your rainbow in the fog, I think the trees ARE the pot o' gold!
We hope your new week is filled with peace and joy!
Beautiful nature showing very well, especially the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us along on the walk, Rain, and I enjoyed the photos. we are looking forward to getting back not longer walks once the cooler weather comes and stays. Fall is my favorite walking season! Thanks for the recipe on using fresh basil and sun-dried tomatoes and when I have extra basil (maybe next year) will try that. I made pesto with basil friends gave us and then froze it in small balls for use during the year. We enjoy quiche and like cauliflower, but I have not tried to combine them and NOW I will be doing that and maybe including some broccoli as well. Hope you get those tomatoes and happy canning!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful, beautiful post - from beginning to end.
ReplyDeleteLove the fogbow, the skyscapes and the reflections.
Your food looks delicious too.
Lovely Pics, good food, and love that Jack dog!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous photographs.
ReplyDeleteThat quiche looks and sounds so tasty.
All the best Jan
Wonderful posts and photos ~ oops ~ remarked about your sweet doggie in the last post ~ delightful rainbow and yummy foods ~
ReplyDeleteLive each moment with love,

strange, I have never seen the rainbow like this. All colors disappeared in the fog. Looks weird. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky and reflection on your walk. :)
Wow what a beautiful night and that cloud reflection is gorgeous. Yep, those tracks are raccoon. I was a tracker in my younger day. I am surprised the toe nails didn't show better in that dirt. The quiche looks amazing. You are so lucky Alex likes all kind of different foods. I have never seen a rainbow in fog. Wow!. Now the cow! I love cows this is a great photo with that bit of grass in her mouth. Have a great Sudnay.
ReplyDeleteWow! There's so much to like in your post! Lovely photos! We get fog but I've never seen a rainbow try to show through. That's really interesting...Sleepy Jack looks like a very sweet little guy....looks like a raccoon to me...quiche: yum!...tomato and basil pesto: yum!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are beautiful! I love the rainbow in the fog, and the reflection in the water. Beautiful! Jace is the sweetest looking dog. Rain, I wrote a comment for your last post and could not publish it. I tried over and over and finally gave up. Hope it will let me publish this one. Your food dishes always look so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteHi Gigi :) I have made frittata a few times. The crust is time consuming but I just love the taste!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen :) I live in dairy farm country and there are so many farms with cows out there...I finally stopped to admire a few! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elke :) I was tempted to go see if the pot of gold was there, but I thought, maybe just leave it alone! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha :) I love quiche...I make so many variations, it's a great meal!
ReplyDeleteYou're right Leanna :)) I'm sure the police have more important things to do! Actually, approaching the farmers is on my list of things to do. Dave, the guy who helped out with the well pump, he knows all of the farmers around here, and he said to just call him up and he'd try to find some raw milk for me. I have to be ready to make cheese the very same day though, and I'm so scatterbrained lately. But I think I may be able to score some raw milk for sure!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie :) It must have felt great to eat a hot cooked meal after so long! The foggy rainbow was a first for me too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, I am very happy! :))
ReplyDeleteLol TB...I sense you do not enjoy cauliflower. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks David :)) Oh that's too bad you couldn't make it to the Maritimes. It's been a beautiful summer here!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marsha :)) I need to make more frittatas, but I'm so addicted to that pie crust! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Barbara! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom :) Oh I'm envious of your tomato canning! I need to load up my shelves soon! I do hope those Romas are in good condition!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill :) That cow was so curious about me, I didn't want to upset her too much! Oh yes, Jack is VERY comfy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Wally :) Oh yes, you are so right! The trees (and all of Nature) is the pot of gold!! I love that you said that! I am trying to build a huge pantry...I only started canning a few years ago with a water bath canner. I bought a pressure canner last year. I'm very much into "putting up" and I hope I can do lots more! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob :) That foggy rainbow was a first for me!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorothy :)) I hope I get those tomatoes too. That is a huge staple for us. The cauliflower quiches are so good with Cheddar, or any kind of Swiss. Adding broccoli is a great idea. Fall is a great walking season I agree!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elephant's Child! :) And you coined a new word! Fogbow!!! I love that!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rosalea :)) Jack is my special little guy! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan :) The quiche is really good, very easy to eat (and over-eat!)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol :) You can comment about Jack on any post if you like :)
ReplyDeleteHi Monica :) Yes! That foggy rainbow looks very weird. I've never seen this before and I questioned my eye sight lol! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole :) I envy that you were a tracker. I'm trying to be more observant when I'm on my walks, it's hard with the dogs sometimes...but I notice little tracks here and there. I think winter will show me a lot more. I've never seen a rainbow in fog either, it was really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kay :)) Jack is a very sweet little guy. :) The rainbow in the fog was a first for me too! I couldn't really believe my eyes at first!
ReplyDeleteThanks Henny :)) I'm sorry you had trouble with Blogger...grrrr....but this comment went through! Jack is so sweet, I can't get enough of him :) The rainbow in the fog was a first for me!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sky images. A nice sky makes everything better, even being stuck in one place.
ReplyDeletebe well ... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Thanks Mae :) That's so true. :)
ReplyDeleteSeems I'm even later visiting. I love the photos of the fog and rainbow. It's hard to capture fog and you did it perfectly. That rainbow is so unusual I suspect because of the fog.
ReplyDeleteNice cow, LOVE Jack's photo, and enjoyed reading the recipe for sun dried tomato pesto.
I've made quiche a couple of times and I hate how my crust turns out. Again, sorry I'm late visiting. I'll see you for sure on Thursday.
Trust me Elizabeth, I'm just as late!! :) Thanks for dropping by! The fog makes the rainbow so eerie in a way...I loved seeing it, though I wasn't sure I was seeing right at first!! Jack is my heart, he has that love in his eyes! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! The cow and dog are my favorites. Have a good week and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI like the rainbow in the fog. Beautiful moon and sunset shots. Great capture of the cow in the midst of chewing the grass and sleepy Jack. Quiche looks yummy, so is the sundried tomato and basil pesto. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a rainbow 🌈 with fog. It must take very special circumstances for that to happen. I'll be looking out for it now though. Pastry making is quite a skill so I will admit to us always buying ready made for the fridge or even the freezer.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThe rainbow in the fog is really special, never seen this myself.
Beautiful photos as always. I love making and eating quiches, too. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil :) Nothing wrong with pre-made pastry for the freezer! It makes it convenient to bake! That rainbow in the fog was really special, I wonder if I'll see that again! It was a very cool, humid morning.
ReplyDeleteThanks Irma :) It was a first for me too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kokopelli :))
ReplyDeleteOh, my mouth is watering! Especially with that pesto although.... !
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for coming by Marmelade Gypsy. I've seen your name in Erika and Elizabeth's posts and Eileen's so it's nice to "meet" you! I'm a little envious of your 120 pounds of Romas! I will be getting two half-bushels to make up some pasta sauce base to freeze in a week or two and can't wait!
Thanks so much Jeanie :)) It's so nice to "meet" you too! That's great that you're getting Romas too...they are so amazing in sauces! I used to freeze, but I ran out of room lol...so I can everything I can now! :)
ReplyDeleteYour quiche sounds delicious, I may try it. You are seeing some beautiful sunsets. I love reading about your progress as you settle in. You were spot on with your comment on my blog about being called back to the places we were happiest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty :) It's very yummy! :) I'm glad you can relate to that idea of being called back! I think it's so true! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a long time since I have eaten quiche. I like it packed with cheese. You have an ambitious plan with those tomatoes. Reminds me of my grandmother who had a pantry full of mason jars with tomatoes, peppers, beans, eggplant, onions and combinations thereof, not to mention the jams, jellies and fruit preserves. Enough to take us well into the next summer!
ReplyDeleteHi Kenneth :) Thanks for visiting :) I love my quiche packed with cheese too! I actually layer a little on the pastry before adding the veggies, it keeps the bottom from getting soggy. I dream of a pantry like the one you described! I'm starting with tomatoes and hopefully over the next few years I can add to that! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! So happy for you finding tomatoes to can! I'll be doing peaches and hopefully lots of jams. Great to have your own food on hand :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to start off a post with a rainbow. I am always looking for one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy :) I'm sure you'll have some great peach jam! I hope I can do some jams this season too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Arleen :) I got very lucky seeing that one! At first I wasn't sure what I was looking at!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! You found yourself a fog bow. We see them out on the boat on the Ocean. Mmmmm tomatoes. Not a huge crop this year but the last several years we have huge crops. We made Tomato soup, sauce and stewed tomatoes. I want to get some Roma's and making some Tomato paste.
ReplyDeleteMoo said the cow---LOL

Lovely post, Rain! Yes, I have seen a foggy rainbow, a lifetime ago in Newfoundland. I hadn't thought of it in a long time, but your photo brought it right back. I've fallen in love with Jack. I can see his beautiful spirit in those big, soulful eyes! all the best to you!
ReplyDeleteahh rainbow - I haven't seen one in person in a long time. jack is so cute and cozy looking.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the post .
glad the fire is out.
The quiche dinner looks perfect for summer days and I’d never thought of adding sun dried tomatoes to pesto, but can tell already that we’d love it! Beautiful sky on your walk, fog and mist could never stop someone with your name! (It’s the same as the first syllable of our surname, so I know that for sure ))!
ReplyDeleteI like your clouds and your foggy rainbow!
ReplyDeleteThanks MB :) Yes, a fog bow! It was so neat to see! I'll be canning those Romas for all sorts of sauces, can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise :)) So cool that you've seen the foggy rainbows! I hope I see more. Oh Jack, I feel in love with him the first time I saw him! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy! :) It was a really scary day yesterday.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sallie :) Oh you're right! My name was made for weather lol! :) The sundried tomatoes in the pesto is really nice, gives it a sweet taste!
ReplyDeleteThanks Italiafinlandia :)
ReplyDeletewhat beautiful photos! I have never seen a rainbow in fog either. The photo of the moon was surreal. I thought you had painted it....gorgeous! Oh, Jack...he adores you...you can see it in his eyes. what a sweetheart he is. It just so happens I do have a lot of basil so thank you! The quiche looks yummy. I look forward to your garden update is you have time. TTYL! Hugs ~ Sam
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam :)) I love hearing that Jack adores me...I feel it and it warms my heart and soul! :) I'm still in awe of that rainbow in the fog!! Oh fun that you have lots of basil! Mine is all gone! I used it all up! :)
ReplyDeletePrecious friend Rain !
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for spectacular images
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing glimpse of your beautiful walk. Sitting beside river sounds tranquil. You captured rainbow beautifully!!!
Cow is cute and Jack is Darling :)
Best of luck for tomatoes. Loved your food as always :)
Attention grabbing headline. I'm making a frittata for lunch. My headline today might be: Frogs, bees, eggs and cheese!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Baili :))) <3 I am lucky that I get to walk there every day, several times a day! I'm still looking for more rainbows! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon :)) Oh I love your headline!!! That's awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely foggy rainbow. I don't think I've ever seen one. I love quiche and love to make leek and spinach with tomato on top. xo
ReplyDeleteHello Rain, from Connecticut! Just stumbled across your blog today! LOVE It already! What beautiful pictures you take! That quiche sounds delicious and the walk seems ethereal. Looking forward to sticking around the blog!
ReplyDeleteIf interested, I have one too: www.theartofhomegrown.com
Cheers!
The pics of the rainbow are stunning, I have never seen a rainbow in the fog. The reflection of the clouds is beautiful as well. A tomatoe farm ... I wanna be a tomatoe farm. Of all veggies tomatoes always bring me the most joy.
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious.
I love christmas cards and would love your new address !!! 🎅
Thanks Alexandra :) I love the idea of leek and spinach quiche!! Yum! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Franee :) Thanks for your comment, I just went to visit yours, lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree Sis :) Oh I will email you my new address! I wish I had a tomato farm...really those are the fruits that I enjoy the most out of the garden! It's been so cold though, I really hope that I'll be able to get the whole 120 pounds!
ReplyDeleteHi Franee :) If you come back to read my reply, just wanted to let you know I wasn't able to leave a comment on your blog. I tried to register and it seemed to work, but I kept getting redirected to the login page!
ReplyDeletebeautiful to be surrounded by nature and to take walks by a river.. water is so soothing. take care
ReplyDeleteIt seems like forever since I've seen a rainbow. I hardly go outside except to the mailbox. My butt's been parked on our couch knitting away so much I've been slackin off in blogging; I've been trying to blog every 3-5 days.
