Typical Farm Day

Yesterday was a typical "homesteading" day.

Woke up and got kiddos off to school.  Laundry is usually out before kids are off to school, but rain was predicted (and we only ended up with a drizzle).

My son and I cleaned up the dishes, did house chores, and I checked the gardens.  Breakfast was farm fresh eggs scrambled in green peppers (grown here and frozen), onions and spinach. 


I picked some fresh spearmint and made our daily gallon jug of organic green iced tea with spearmint - yum!

I mixed up some buttermilk homemade English muffins.  

All in all a pretty good day.  I had to do a quick check on ingredients, as my 10 year-old informed me that she needs to bring in a "peach" dish to school on Monday.  I'm considering peach salsa (I may be cheating with some from the store), and baking a peach pound cake. 

I was also informed (always at the last minute) that the school's Spring Art Festival is this Sunday.   One daughter sings, and one for sure, has about 6 art projects in the festival this year.

I love to hear about your days because they are what mine are like in a scaled down version. It may sound boring to some and I'm always delightfully surprised when someone comments on my blog. I love it though! Just the simple daily pleasures and for me, being retired, I have no commitments whatsoever so I can take my time. I guess that's as it should be as I don't have the energy I used to have either. But I plug along and try not to feel overwhelmed at times and just enjoy each moment of it. I truly enjoy your blog...we should be neighbors! Well, I guess we sort of are....blog neighbors!
I want to try that tea. I always made sun tea but now I am drinking green also and that would be perfect. I have regular mint but not spearmint. I have lemon balm that I usually use and I like that too. Have a great day!

Sounds like a fun and productive day! I have made two batches of the English muffins now, they are soooo yummy!! Thanks for the link to the recipe! I did need to increase the amount of flour called for to get it to work for me.
All of those last minute activities are filling your week! It all sounds fun though :)

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
