Sunset ~ Sick Hubby ~ Another Cold Blast

Sharing a sunset photo from Sunday evening.  Just a few minutes after taking the photos, the beautiful pinks completely disappeared.

Thankfully, I have some loose leaf elderflower tea on hand.  Hubby is home sick. You know when men get sick (at least mine), they turn into blabbering babies.  I may even drain off one of my jars of elixir early (if the tea doesn't help).  


Hubby is being haggled at work for not getting a flu shot.  I won't go into why we don't, but we don't.  The threat of flu is all about us, and we are taking other precautions.  The first - washing our hands often.  The kids went to the movies last night, and the first thing I told them, was to wash their hands.  Limiting my trips to town is another.  With this said, I am looking forward to a much better garden bounty this year, resulting in a better food storage (less trips to town and less risk for illness).

Last night's weather turned ugly.  We are now entering another blast of frigid weather.  The wind was blowing last night too.  School delayed 2 hours, and the driveway is drifted pretty bad in a few places.

I'm cooking up a pot of dry black beans.  I'm not sure what I will do with them for dinner yet, but they are loaded with antioxidant compounds, and increase energy levels (and much more).  

I finally finished the crocheted baby blanket last night.  I told Hubby, I better start another one, considering how long they take to make, and the possibility of needing to gift more of them.  For now, I am crocheting some baby bath cloths.  When I am finished with the baby gifts, I will need to make a decision on whether we will participate in this year's Farmer's Market.

I hope your husband feels better as the flu is not fun no matter what sex you are. The photo is gorgeous and it sounds like you are really getting a lot done on your crocheting. I hope you all stay warm and safe and healthy.

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 . . .
