Quick...It's time for Apple Crisp!
 |

Apple Crisp with Orange Juice 4 cups sliced pared apples 1/4 cup orange juice 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup flour, sifted 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg 1/3 cup butter Mound apples in a buttered pie plate or in this case an aluminum disposable pan. Pour orange juice over them. In separate bowl, combine sugar, flour, spices and salt; cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is crisp. Serve warm with cream or ice-cream if desired. |

Impatience...A Flower of My Past
 |
| For the past 4 years, I had been planting Impatience along my garden room and deck. At least 11 trays of 48 plants were planted each year in this beautiful space. You can do the math! |
 |
| This year however; the man at the greenhouse told me of a blight that had infected the Impatience. He suggested trying Begonias. I was very reluctant to do so but I am glad I did!. The Begonias filled in beautifully. During this summer of much drought and heat, these plants held up under these extreme conditions. |
 |
| So...before planting impatience and taking the chance of having them not survive and infect your soil, please consider Begonias! They are so lovely, colorful, hardy and show off their blooms for all to see! |
