Sitting at Annie's heavenly spot, I can see my garden and what do I see!!! 8 ZUCCHINI! It's time to get my recipes out. One recipe I love to make is zucchini pineapple. There are plenty recipes out in the world of great cooks but this one I just love......

1 can ( 46 oz. ) unsweetened pineapple juice

process 15 minutes for half pints or pint jars.

Remove jars and allow to cool completely. Test seal and store in a cool dry place.    

What a beautiful day I had yesterday! My little heartbeat, Annie (pictured) has always laid in one little spot of the yard by my clothes line & garden. So I thought why not just join her. I have been too busy working on something around here that I just forgot how to just take a break and sit my butt on the green clover grass that Annie found. The area was heavy shaded, wind nicely blowing and the ground was cool. I lost all thought of everything important in my life. Annie had found Heaven in that small little spot. With that thought I'm taking a break now in that little Annie heaven......
