Handiwork Update ~ Southwestern Egg Burritos

My youngest daughter emailed me this photo. I thought it was so funny I just had to share. This morning I certainly feel like that dog in the photo - still in my jammies, holding coffee, but with an ice pack instead of a towel.

The good news today, is that Daughter got on a flight yesterday (vs. today) and is in SC now. Phew!

Boy oh boy. Yesterday, and the night before, was not a day to crochet. I kept messing up.

Remember that #5 cotton crochet thread I bought a while back?

I was about to finish this pink one. However, with all the chaos I messed up one square. I had three squares crocheted together, only to find out I had to rip it apart. Needless to say, it's put it aside for a few days.

I did get this one made with blues and yellows. It's already being used in the kitchen.

I also go this one finished too. If you are looking for the pattern, it can be found in 101 Easy Scrap Crochet Projects, by Laura Scott. There are 3 different patterns.

I had checked this book out of the library before, but borrowed it again.

I treated the family to a big batch of Southwestern Egg Burritos.

It's basically Serrano pepper, bell pepper, and eggs (and salt and pepper). You can top them with salsa and cheese too. I opened my last jar of home canned salsa to top mine with. Yum. I do think I will add more than one hot pepper next time.

I'll be flipping through the book again today. I did see a Mexican Casserole that is very similar to the Cheddar and Chilie Egg Casserole (a Rachel Ray recipe) one we make (but with way more cheese in it).

Today I am thankful for:
~ the eggs the chickens are producing
~ the help we were able to obtain to get Daughter on a flight
~ coffee, of course
~ God's Guidance
~ my camera
~ instant photo machines
~ pen and papper
~ for those praying for my kids and us
~ quiet days
~ lemons

....now that I've had my morning blog fun, I must get back to work. Yesterday I thought those meat chickens were going to attack me to get their feed, ha ha!

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 . . .
