Recipe of the Week; Fresh Tomato Clam Sauce
 |
| Copyright by The Old School Housewife |
 |
| Copyright by The Old School Housewife I'm giving this recipe *** because it was the best red clam sauce I ever made and my husband actually liked it. It was simple to make too. Fresh tomatoes which we still have from the yard, gave it a great taste. I got the idea in a small cook book but I revised it so much that I'm calling it my own. |

Tips; Sun flowers are inviting
 |
| Copyright by The Old School Housewife Remember I said that darker colors and candles make a house feel warm and inviting? Well, flowers do the same thing. At this time of the year, Sun Flowers are one of my favorite. They are so perfect looking they almost look fake, but are real. I love Sun Flowers and find it hard to grow them because the birds love them even more. lol So, I buy them instead. |

Food; Saturday's dinner, simple but good
 |

Gardening; Is it that time already? Still hard work!
 |
| Copyright by The Old School Housewife It seems like we just planted the garden, or should I say my husband planted it. I handed him the plants. Now, it's time to dismantle already and it just as much hard work. He still has to be on his knees to clear out all the dead plants and weeds. A new day/season is dawning. |
