It's a Girl ~ The Desk ~ Books ~ Allergies


Misty had a doeling.  Once we have daylight, I'll go out and get a photo to share (updated now).  This is the end of our kidding season.  It rained heavily all day yesterday and it continues to rain this morning.  It's been pretty gloomy and dark out.  School is delayed 2 hours - fog.

Just a reminder:  Be sure to click on "read more" in my posts, to read the full blog post.


 Before

After

Another "ah" moment on the homestead. Removing all the unsightliness will make this year much better. 

Hubby, although reluctant after working 12 hour days all week, installed the larger cabinet last night.  I still have to paint the doors and install them, but today I can start filling the cabinets, organizing, purging, and cleaning.

Books.  I have a lot of them.  I have given some away, and donated some.  It's been nice getting my bookshelves in order as well.  I have a better idea of what I have on my shelves now.  There have been many times I have found two of the same book.

A few weeks back I was working on one bookshelf.  My oldest daughter said something like "I'm still not sure what I want to do with my life."  

"Wait!" I responded eagerly, "I think I have a book for that!"  Of course we laughed. They know how many books I own.

Last night my 14 year-old was working on homework.

"Mom, how do you interview someone?"

"Wait!"  I responded, "I have a book for that!"  And I did.

The heavy rain is irritating my allergies.  We also turned on the pellet burner last night.  I woke up to red, burning and a very painfully itching in my eyes.  Needless to day, the drops are not working.  I'll be researching more essential oils for this problem.   I refuse to be miserable this year.  In the past, I have purchased an oil already mixed for allergies.  This year I may mix my own to see what works better.

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 . . .
