My Favorite Candy Recipe!

Happy "Pumpkin Day!"

I wanted to share my favorite candy recipe with you -- and it is sooooo easy!

1 pkg of Candy Corn (any size)
1 jar of salted cashews (any size)

Mix 1 cup of each together and stir.

This recipe can be doubled, tripled, etc. and can also be modified to taste by adding more candy corn or more cashews. The mixture is like eating a salted nut roll!


My favorite candy!

This is my only Halloween decoration -- I use it to put my candy in.

Sunrise at the lake

Fall has definitely taken over! It's already making way for winter to arrive. This morning, the lake was so calm, I could hear the leaves falling from the trees and landing on the water.

The sunrise is one of the most spectacular sights to see on the lake! I went out with my camera and took a few shots:

Sun is just rising over the horizon.

A few minutes later it is much brighter!

The boats and docks are now back on the shore - with the exception of a few that are still waiting to come out.

Along with the sunrise is the sound of guns. Hunting season is in full swing right now and the moment the sky begins to lighten, the sounds of the guns begin.


Hard to believe it is the end of October already!

Thanks for visiting!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

The collapse of the cottonwood tree

Awhile back, I posted about the cottonwood trees around our lake. 

In that post I mentioned this: Cottonwoods can become rotten and it is unnoticeable -- until the tree falls.

Well... guess what?

A few weeks ago during some rather high winds, our neighbors who are just two doors down us experienced it first-hand. The tree came crashing down and destroyed their boat, the boat lift, their jet ski, the jet ski lift -- and the entire dock. Luckily, nobody was hurt!

The tree came down quickly, smashing through the dock and everything around it.

It also crushed a boat, a jet ski and both lifts!

This was the jet ski lift. You can see the crushed wheel which is used to raise and lower the jet ski.

What is left of the boat lift -- the cover stayed on. The home owners definitely kept their sense of humor -- do you see the chainsaw sitting on top of the tree trunk??

Base of the tree where it was rotten. This was a HUGE tree!

Better view of the ruins.

And another. The tiny chainsaw probably wouldn't cut a small branch on this tree!

The disaster from the other side.

This man, who insisted on climbing over everything to stand out there, is over 6' tall -- gives you a good idea how large this tree was! (There's one of these guys in every crowd, isn't there? LOL!)
