My father, as my husband does now, sold farm machinery, ranch and garden equipment. The hay meadows and the successful harvest were a daily concern for him. The good working order of the machinery, ours and everyone else's, was a vital concern during hay cutting season. I grew up well aware that all of life evolved around a growing cycle. Spring to plant and bring rainfall, summer and fall to harvest, winter to rest the land, spring again - the full circle of life.
The hay meadows are life giving just as is the rain. With a healthy crop of hay, the livestock thrives, the land flourishes and life continues. When the rain falls in the spring and summer, we give heartfelt thanks - we dance in the rain. It is literally a shower of blessings.
One of the favorite breakfast menu items here is our egg casserole:
Grease large baking pan
Set oven to 375 degrees
Put rack in the middle of the oven
Line the bottom of the baking pan with frozen hashbrowns
Top with an onion that has been peeled and chopped
Add a layer of mushrooms chopped
Add another layer of crumbled bacon softly cooked
Add another layer of ham which has been chopped into bite sized pieces
Put 12 eggs in a mixing bowl and add 1 cup of milk
Beat well then pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the baking pan
Set in the oven and back 30-40 minutes until the eggs are firm
Top with shredded cheddar cheese while still warm
Cut into pieces and serve warm with toast, coffee and orange juice.
Mmmm mmmm good!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only son; that whoever believes in Him shall never perish, but shall have Everlasting Life. John 3:16
From our ranch to you, we wish you many
Happy trails!
