I had one this morning. I know my triggers, MSG, excess sugar and sadly, chocolate. I had made brownies the day before for a company meal we had. I can usually eat one, but kind of picked at the pan throughout the afternoon while we played card games. Will I ever learn? <br /><br /> I enjoy birdwatching. I used to put up a feeder and I miss it so much, but I was feeding the deer, skunks and raccoons as much as the birds. Such is mountain living. We have a bear in town right now, a usual occurrence in the spring time. They are hungry and like the dumpster behind the grocery store which is a block from my home. <br /><br />Looking forward to Phyllis May's Kitchen.

So much ins...What a wonderful post you did for us! So much inspiration and beauty of all kinds!<br /><br />I got debilitating migraines for one semester in college. The kind where I'd go deaf and blind and then faint in places...church, class, & the dining hall. The doctor gave me Inderol. I needed only one and they never came back. No idea what triggered them, but I have such sympathy for anyone that gets them. I'm so glad you've gotten some relief.<br /><br />You and I both had an exciting bird visitor this week! I looked out my kitchen window yesterday to see a bright orange flash whiz by. He landed briefly on a feeder, then sped off. I'd never seen anything like him. He was nearly neon orange with black and white. I ran to get my Kansas bird book and found him. He's called a Bullock's Oriole. Not common in our part of Kansas so he was quite a nice surprise to check off my list.<br />https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&id=AC9DA7D22E4ACAD8B9DF054D72C025DD877FBB6F&thid=OIP.bsWiMMIaCPDoJyC3eK-50AHaF2&mediaurl=http%3A%2F%2F1.bp.blogspot.com%2F-YDviP0-pS2Y%2FUrL1gI9nAII%2FAAAAAAAAB0o%2FBR_RplucGXo%2Fs1600%2FBullock%E2%80%99s-Oriole-good.jpg&exph=596&expw=755&q=image+of+bullock%27s+oriole&selectedindex=0&ajaxhist=0&vt=0<br />I hope this image link works. Your birds are so exotic compared to ours! That parrot was a beauty!<br /><br />We eat bananas around here like starving monkeys! There's always at least 4 on the counter and I make bread regularly. I usually add walnuts, but all the chocolate suggestions here sound tempting! I also slice them, spread pnut butter on one side, & dip them into melted chocolate and freeze them. Good little summer snack. Tastes good in a smoothie, too.<br /><br />Love the small circle embroidery. I love doing little things like that! It would look pretty on a hankie.<br /><br />Love your faith, Jenny. When I spiritually grow up more, I hope mine is just like that! :)<br /><br /><br />Debby in Kansasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-47974276685871087232019-05-11T03:29:40.942+10:002019-05-11T03:29:40.942+10:00Jenny, how do you keep the ants out of the jelly a...Jenny, how do you keep the ants out of the jelly and oranges?

I think she's Australian. I am praising God that He prompted you to cut your hair, and given you relief!!!! I do enjoy the variety of bird life you see around your yard, what a gift. We only see those birds in cages here. Love those little tags with the fabric circles - and your little stitcheries - so sweet!!! Jenny-girl, you keep hanging onto the Lord. He will never leave you nor forsake you!!!

Whatever it takes, even spiky short hair. =) I'll bet it's cute as a button on you. It sounds like the Lord is working on you in layers, peeling back and peeling back, until you are at the place he wants you to be, because that is where you will find real happiness and joy. The birds are beautiful. The Lord answered your bird prayer, but not the way you thought He would. That's how it always is. =) Love you.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-21086787811781610012019-05-10T11:08:58.775+10:002019-05-10T11:08:58.775+10:00Hello Jenny - your bread loaves look amazing.

I almost always substitute whole wheat flour for most of the white in my bread recipes and have never had a problem with them turning out badly. I am so sorry that you have had migraine headaches for so long that must be so painful and I am glad you found a solution. I did not care for bananas that much but finally figured out it was because I was eating them when they were too ripe for my taste. I find that that I like them best when they are slightly under ripe but can still be peeled. My husband makes the banana bread around here and he chops a bar of very dark chocolate and puts in it which makes it delicious without adding extra sweetness.

Makes all the difference in the world. You do seem to have such lovely birds there. Their colours are no doubt very inspiring. I'd not thought about the weight of a person's hair causing headaches, but once you mentioned it I remembered my pastor's wife telling me forty-five years ago that she had to keep her hair short because she'd get terrible headaches otherwise. I'm thankful that my long hair has never caused a problem like that. Trusting this fix will be a permanent one for you.Cindy A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12287409144628532055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-8159454919202253812019-05-10T05:01:07.189+10:002019-05-10T05:01:07.189+10:00Lovely post today ...So much going on with you.

My son gets them regularly, and this is the only thing that works! Our Naturopath suggested them. You can buy them on Amazon...3 dropper-fuls in a cup of water. It dialates the arteries.

I love the way you write...grateful for what you're able to do, choosing home first, letting go of things that may be good but can distract us from what we need to be doing.......all of these plans & ideas are so easily lost in the chaos we can allow ourselves to slip into. Thank you for faithfully encouraging us to our quiet work (I Thessalonians 4:11)<br /><br />I love all the bright birds in your garden! We've had baltimore oriels the last few summers & I've been thrilled. They eat from my hummingbird feeders. I need to add a feeder for grape jelly & oranges as they love those. I open the windows & enjoy the daily music. On days my grandson is here we sit or play on the screened porch often & pause to hear the birds...I often point them out to him. It's precious watching him listen. <br /><br />As always, I love that you're steadily working on new patterns. It's a gift I'm grateful you have a little time to work on them.
