Wagner’s Market purchases.

First I found honey, but my other three purchases were a surprise, even to me.

I recommend trying other jam flavors. I’m sure the next time I go to Wagner’s Market in Black Creek I’ll try another jam flavor or two.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A trip to Wagner’s Market

If you look close, you can see the white honey on the right of this photo, about an inch down from the top.

After walking around outside, I found my honey inside and then walked around the store. There’s quite a selection of jams, jellies, pickles, and more. Tomorrow I’ll show you the jars I brought home.

This location is on the southeast corner of the 54-47 intersection. You can’t miss Wagner’s Market.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Working with rhubarb

To cut the rhubarb or to use the food processor? That’s the question.

The processed rhubarb is not as pretty as the hand-cut stalks. I will use the processed bowl of rhubarb to make a sauce for toast.

The ones cut with a knife are pretty and best used in a pie. The stalks that went through the processor are wonky chunks, They are very usable and will make a great sauce.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Sun Tea recipe

This works great on a sunny day.


And you save energy by letting the sun do the work.

Too bad for me that clouds rolled in soon after I set out my half gallon of water and tea bags. It took all day to change the liquid into tea.

And if clouds roll into your sky, too, you can always bring it inside and heat it up in the microwave. Whatever, the tea won’t go to waste.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Feeding the blue jays

I bought this spring peanut feeder just for my blue jays. Too bad they have not taken to it, even after months of it hanging on the porch.

So I adapt and put the peanuts out where they want to eat.

Maybe they will discover the hanging spring peanut feeder eventually.

I always thought blue jays were smart birds. They have proved me wrong.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
