Psalm 91

Psalm 91

"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. ² I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
³ Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
⁴ He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
⁵ Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
⁶ Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
⁷ A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
⁸ Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
⁹ Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
¹⁰ There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
¹¹ For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
¹² They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
¹³ Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
¹⁴ Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
¹⁵ He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
¹⁶ With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation."

Canadian Thanksgiving

Well, I made another meal for Canadian Thanksgiving this year. I made two pies, one tart etc., and ended up just using frozen vegetables for a side. I’m ok with that. :)

I made vanilla whipped cream to go with the pumpkin pie.

Persimmon tart

Canadian pork pie. It is really good! (my grandma’s recipe)

Apple Butter & Lemon Curd

Here’s most of the apple butter I made, and about half of the lemon curd. I’ll include a recipe below. :)

I used apples from a our local orchard. :)

Recipe For Lemon Curd

Tweaked from “The Magic Cookbook” (an old recipe book of my Grandma North’s).

2 sticks butter

1 cup sugar

2 lemons, juice and zest

2 whole eggs plus 1 yolk

1 tablespoon grated stale bread crumbs

Into a clean saucepan put the butter and sugar, cook on low heat until the sugar has dissolved, then add juice of lemons. Take egg yolks and whites, beat well together with lemon rind and bread crumbs. Stir this into butter and sugar mixture and boil gently for 20 minutes. Sieve mixture. Pour into 1/2 or 1/4 pint jars and process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes if wishing to preserve.

Yields: two 1/2 pints

Here’s to the Truss Bridges

I’m kind-of nostalgic about these bridges. They’re not in fashion and haven’t been for a long time; but they’re a part of my childhood and country. Really, the fact that they are mostly a thing of the past probably makes me appreciate them even more. When I stumbled across one the other day I decided to stop and take some pictures. :)

That was such a beautiful fall day.
