What am I up to? Baking a Cherry Pie for my sweetheart for one thing.
I wanted to do something nice for him to thank him for all the back rubs and foot rubs he has given me over these
last two months that I have been trying to heal from surgery.
It has really helped me to heal faster and it sure
helped with the misery of it all!
helped with the misery of it all!
We'd been up to Salt Lake City to my doctor appointment...( I am all healed...I even got the go ahead that I can ride my horse now..Yipee!)
As we returned home, this giant cloud hung heavy over our high mountain valley ....
We got home to this...Not snow...but HAIL...and tons of it!
And it didn't stop...it went on and on!
It looked like winter...it froze that night and was stillon the ground half way through the next day!
I made a blanket for my daughter Lindsey today...she is due to have her first baby the end of July.
Saturday I'm going to a baby shower in Ceder for her, given by her sister Tiffany. Then on June 5th I'll have a shower for her here at our home. I've got another baby quilt to make for her and lots of fun preparations for that shower too.

The pie looks delicious Julie! And, I love the blanket that you made. That shade of pink is so pretty on both the front and back.
The hail is amazing! Looking at the picture you'd think it was snow!!!
Ummmmmmm, Can I have a piece of that pie?!?!? I was wondering if that picture was in Utah then read it was. My BF lives in South Jordan, and I go there once a year or so. You are the best lookin' great grandma I've ever seen in my life! You've got it going on!
Thanks for coming to visit me,
Loulou
That pie looks delish, I want to eat it right off the screen! Cute blankie too!
Holy Moly... that hail really hammered you guys. We sure wish it would get hot enough so that we could complain about the heat, don't we ??!!
I'm so happy for you that you got the 'all-clear' from your doctor!
The blanket that you made for your daughter looks cozy... I'm sure that she will just love it!
Congratulation to Rue!! Happy baking and cooking in your new apron.
Have a wonderful evening :)

That is a good looking pie - my husbands favorite too!

I'm sorry about the hail. I hope nothing was too damaged.

rue
Glad you're feeling better! I'm sure your husband will be happy with the pie, looks yummy!
I'm assuming your daughter is having a girl. Darling blanket.
Have a wonderful day!
Are you my long lost twin??? Just kidding. Thanks for your kind comment about my scorpion stung Kirby-he's doing fine. We both love dogs, horses, pie making (the YW pres. just called and asked me to teach a pie class for the 3rd time). Maybe I'm not doing it well enough for the gals to learn :) Happy day wishes.
That's a lot of hail Julie! Wow, those pics are amazing. Love the blanket you made, it's so fuzzy and cute. And cherry is my all time favorite pie! How did I miss your giveaway? My blog dashboard has been acting up.
Hugs,
Cindy
Wow... look at that hail!
unbelievable!
Congrats on your OK to ride again! So happy for you, Julie!
And what a gorgeous pie... love the design you put on top!
beautiful~
Congrats to Rue for winning the sweet apron~
So nice of you, Julie... truly gracious ♥
have a wonderful weekend ~ Maria
Goodness, look at all that hail! Hard to believe when we have it so hot here. Congrats to Rue on winning your lovely apron (it shoulda been me! ha ha just kidding) ;-) Hope you're having a great week, well apart from all that hail.
Hi Julie
Yummy pie, adorable baby blanket and congratulations on becoming a grandma again. I'm still waiting on my first one to arrive any day now.
So glad you are all better and able to get back to riding your horse. I'm sure your horse has missed you.
Hugs, Deb =^..^= x6
Oh.my.goodness. That was a lot of hail! I'm so glad the doctor released you and you can do everything you've been missing! Very sweet wife to bake a cherry pie, too! Hope you have a great week-end.
Julie, the pie looks absolutely divine! Do you make your own crusts? My mother used to make the most fabulous cherry pie ~ one of my very favorites ~ and I have not been able to duplicate it. She just had a special touch!
I can't believe all that hail ~ wow. So glad you made it home safely...and extra happy that your Dr appt went well. The blanket is adorable! I know you have several grandchildren but each one is such a blessing and it's so exciting anticipating their arrival...and then meeting them.
Thank you for sharing these special family times!
xoxo
Pat
Even your crust is beautiful!!! Wow, you need to give me pie making lessons. Ummm, Ummmmm. I love pie. Isn't that hail something?
So glad you are all better. I have missed you the past few days. Beautiful blanket! That hail! Utah is becoming more like Idaho...two seasons! My kids that live there are so done with it this year. Your pie looks so yummy~cherry pie is my all time favorite!
Take good care of yourself!
Julie the pie looks delicious! I'm glad you are feeling better.
What an amazing photo of the cloud. Yikes it looked scary with all of the hail.
Come by anytime for a visit. ~Melissa :)
I love cherry pie :) And congrats to Rue!
We have had hail a few times this spring. My pups like to chase it after the hail storm is over. They can't figure out why these golfballs just go way!
xo, misha
Hi, Julie,

A very lucky winner there Julie! I am glad that you have been given a clean bill of health and can now ride your horse again! Yipee! Love the blanket for your girl and the gift basket.

Your pie looks fabulous!! I would love a piece of it right now! I bet the hubster was well satisfied with it! xxoo
Julie, So happy to hear you are healed and feeling better.
That pie is beautiful. I am a state certified fair judge in Pa. and your perfect pie would certainly catch my eye! Cherry pie is my favorite.
I am always in awe at God's handiwork when you show photos of your view outdoors. It makes me bow to His soverignty!
Love the sweet baby blanket, obviously it's a little girl! How wonderful!
xo Yvonne
I made a cherry pie a few days ago, but it wasn't even close to as pretty as yours!
so many things in your post! Beautiful pie! Praises for your healing...I am feeling a little squeamish about you being on your horse so soon though! ;) That baby blanket looks SOOOOO soft and it is just lovely!
Congrats to Rue on the classic apron...love the trim on the bodice!
Happy Weekend Julie!
That's GREAT news, so glad you're healing and back to normal!! Happy Day!!
The pie looks amazing!! Yum-o!!
The blanket is just too cute and the baby showers sound like lots of fun. Good luck with all the plans for the one in June!
Congrats to the lucky winner!! FUN!!!
Oh my your pie sure does look yummy. I know hubby will enjoy it.
I am glad to hear that you are healed and can ride again.
That baby blanket is so precious.
I could not believe the photos of your hail storm. Did you have any damage to your home?
Have a great weekend.
Oh Julie, that Cherry Pie looks delicious! Yummy.......
The image of the giant cloud is amazingly beautiful! I can't believe all the hail, must say it looks like snow.
The pink blanket is so beautiful, you ae so talented Julie!
Thanks for a lovely post and enjoy the baby shower...!
Congratulations Rue for winning the lovely vintage apron.
Congrats to Rue (she's such a sweetie). I'm sure she'll really enjoy it.
Wow! So much hail! Hail around here usually means a tornado close by. The pie looks yummy and that's a very nice way to say thank you!
Actually, I didn't let the bread rise long enough. I had to go mow the lawn (which takes me hours to do the front and back). So I only let it rise level to the pan. But next time I'll do better with my time management. It's delish anyway. We all had it this am with breakfast and it was so good. Thanks again for posting the recipe!
Manuela
I wish I could make a good pie crust. Maybe I'll pop in for lessons!
I love your pictures of the weather. Ick but beautiful.
Congrats to the winner.
Sounds like you are going to be very busy! Don't overdo!
How did you sew the minkee fabric without going crazy???
I love the feel of the stuff, but the ONE thing I tried to make was a NIGHTMARE.
So glad to hear that you are doing so well...I know you are excited about being able to ride again. Congrats on your expected Grandbabe in July!! More loving, snuggling, kissing and hugging fun!! Come by and visit when you have a chance.
Love your beautiful pie...I made an apple one this week, crust and all...so fun!! And so good too!
Congrats to Rue for her win of the apron!!
I can't believe the hail...that's strange huh? Hope you have a great weekend.
I'm glad you're feeling better and up to making things ... your pie looks beautiful!!! (I have yet to even attempt a pie - it's so sad.) And your blanket is adorable! YAY for another grandbaby!!!! :)
(thanks for all your sweet comments on my blog too! xo)
CONGRATULATIONS RUE, I'M HAPPY FOR YOU. AND I'M SO GLAD YOU BETTER NOW AND CAN RIDE YOU HORSE. WHAT FREEDOM! ENJOY

CINDY@STITCHES
Congrats to you for getting a good check up today and congrats to your hubby for the pie and of course congrats to Rue for winning the apron that I thought was mine. lol
SO happy you are doing better and can ride your horse. Girl if I even got near a horse right now I would have a stroke because of my pain..lol
The clinic called and I am scheduled for 3 MRI's Monday so thank goodness they are finally going to see what is happening.
Enjoy your baby shower wish I were there for that...
Love
Maggie

Hi Julie....that was one mean looking cloud...Hope you got back home with the car in the garage before that hail hit....and I showed my husband your header picture and he was wondering how close that moutain is to the back of your house....it looks like it looks like it's right there to me...he thought it might be miles away....who's right??
Isn't this the craziest weather? So glad you're healed and ready to go. Loved the family pictures at the park. Your grandkids are almost as cute as mine. Mimi
Cherry pie!!! My favourite my friend...oh how I would love a piece right now! I am so happy that you can ride your sweet horse now..how exciting..God is good. Hugs for a blessed weekend. xoxoxo

Hi Julie,
