It's a Hodge Podge kinda day

Happy Tuesday ya'll look at the sweet little Painted Buntings that stopped by this morning.. I was so excited to see them sitting on the Tea Olive..Sorry for the bad picture but it was taken through tinted glass and a window screen. It's a cloudy day around here and a little cool so I thought I would get on here and try out the New Blogger which I know has been out for a while, I just didn't want to take the time to learn it.. so today is the day with a hodge podge post to see what it's all about...

 

my latest treasures I picked up all these pieces for $1.50 without really looking at them till I got them home and each one was perfect..

 

 I love the center of this one... Oh and I found the little bucket also... Paid to much for it but hey I got the dollies for a steal..



and this one is a smaller oblong version of one that my girlfriend Beth made me many years ago that I adore.

 

and this cute little picnic basket I'm thinking the grand nieces might enjoy playing with it.. OK I said this was a hodge podge post ... and here's last night supper from Pinterest

3 frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast, 2 cans of drained black beans, 1 can of drained whole corn, 1 can of drained tomatoes with jalapeno peppers... Dumped everything into a crockpot

cooked on high for 3 1/2 hours shredded chicken with 2 forks, drained juice (if I had been serving with rice I would not have drained it)

 

 added 4oz of cream cheese the recipe called for 8 oz but I'm trying to be good... 

 

 after it melted stirred together and placed on warm till time to eat.. We ate it on spinach wraps and it was really good.. I did add because I can't leave things alone... fresh nutmeg, onion, and powered garlic..

what I would do different next time.. I would wait to add the corn along with the cream cheese the corn seemed a little tough.. I bet this would be really good on rice along with a salad ...

and as for the new Blogger so far I pretty much hate it ... I posted this post without knowing it or being through with it, I can't figure out how to get everything flush left or centered and the spacing is all cattywampus ...but I will try again..maybe it will grow on me..

Have a wonderful week ya'll hugs from me to you, Cherry
