Summertime Refrigerator Pickles

Time to share another recipe–

This is one of my favorite things to do with all those tasty cucumbers.

As you can tell from the photo I’ve added a few thinly sliced strips of yellow sweet peppers to this batch. Yum!

Cucumbers and Onions
(Summertime Refrigerator Pickles)

2 large cucumbers sliced
1 large onion sliced thin
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 to 2 cups water
3 tablespoons of white sugar
1 or 2 cloves of garlic finely minced
salt and pepper

Mix cucumber and onion slices in a large bowl.

Mix vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper in another bowl.
Stir to dissolve sugar.
Pour over cucumbers and onions.

Cover and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
Overnight is best!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Pattern

Some time ago I found the Weekly Photo Challenge over at The Daily Post and I had the best intentions of participating in that challenge.

Well…

Ok; so I didn’t stick with that one.

Let’s try it again; shall we?

The current challenge is Pattern. ”Patterns are everywhere. Patterns are sometimes intentional and sometimes accidental. They can be decorative or merely a result of repetition, and often patterns can be in the eye of the beholder to discover them.”

Not feeling the best today I decided that instead of going in search of interesting pattens I’d find one without leaving the comfort of my office chair.

So here you have it…

My pattern.

I found this one in the crocheted jar sleeve that I made to cover an empty pickle jar and turn it into a pretty candle holder.

Did anyone else take the Pattern challenge this week?

Photo Challenge – Backyard Visitors – May 2013

It has been a long while since I have spent an afternoon sitting in the yard watching the birds; but with my new 7D I’m back out there again!

Yesterday this little mourning dove came to visit and he hung around for a good long while. He would sit up on a high branch far away from me, then float down to the ground and take a walk around, then fly back up to his branch and watch for a while, then he’d be back down for another walk….

I’m not sure who was watching who.

Small Mourning Dove

Canon EOS 7D – Canon 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS
250mm – 1/200 – f/6.3 – ISO 200

Judging by his size I’m going to say he just might be a fairly young bird; he was much smaller than the mourning doves I usually see.

I hope you all take time to enjoy your backyard and capture a shot or two of your visitors; you never know who might stop by.
