Well, it's still raining here...I think it's been raining for about 10 days straight,
maybe even more, but I have lost track of the days.
Wednesday morning at about 3:00 am there was a big thunder and lightening storm.
The thunder was rattling our home and it reminded me of God's great power.
Anyway,
I want to thank you, sweet friends, for your concern since many of you know I live in Colorado
and have written me to see if my family and I are safe from the flooding.
Thankfully, we don't live near the floods so we are okay,
but I do know some people that have suffered from the flooding.
My heart is sad and heavy for them and the many others that have lost so much.
My prayers are certainly with them during this difficult time.
Again, thank you for showing such care and kindness!

Now how about making something sweet for the weekend.
Peach season is always a favorite in our household.
Fresh, sweet, juicy peaches - mmmm... nothing quite like them! :)
And of course with peach season comes delectable desserts:
peach cobbler, peach pie, peach muffins, peach turnovers, peach crisp.
So grab some peaches and we'll make a delightful peach crisp.
Ingredients needed:
5 cups sliced, peeled peaches
2 - 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract
1/2 cups regular rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped nuts or coconut (optional)
Place peaches in a 2-quart square baking dish.
Stir in the granulated sugar and vanilla or almond.
For the topping,
in a medium bowl combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
Cut in butter until mixture resembles course crumbs.
Stir in the nuts.
Sprinkle topping over fruit.
Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 30 - 35 minutes
or until fruit is tender and topping is golden.
Serve with ice cream or just rich, thick cream :)
Enjoy!
Hugs and blessings to you!
Enjoy the upcoming weekend :)
