Happy Homemaker Monday

Joining Happy Homemaker Monday, with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.....
Breakfast time, what is on the plate this morning. . .

 Zucchini salsa scrambled eggs, toast and coffee.



Looking around the house . . .
  I see the kids left the front room a mess this morning. Hmpf.  Next to clean, is that room.  The chimney sweep is coming next month and Daughter's totes are surrounding it. Those need to be put back in storage.



On today's to-do list. . .
*water goats/chickens, collect eggs
*sweep the kitchen
*get dinner in the roasting pan

*can applesauce

*bake two loaves of blueberry bread for lunches
*clean master bathroom toilet
*clean a cat box

*vacuum
*mail a thank you note
*write
*walk dogs
*cut more chives to freeze
*check for any more parsley to dry
*wash most of my baking dishes so the kids don't yell at me



Currently reading. . .
 (borrowed from the library, so I hope to have time to finish it)


On the TV. . .
 If you are wondering, Hubby and have not been successful at staying up Tuesday nights to catch the show at 10:00pm.  Just too late for us.  We did get to watch The Walking Dead Sunday night.   Or the kids and I anyway, as Hubby worked.  My son was texting me through the whole show, trying to aggravate me, simply because in his time zone he had to wait to watch it.  The little turd.


The weather outside is. . .
  Rainy, gloomy, cloud cover, but then the sun should show up at the end of the week.


On the menu this week . . .
 Anything from the freezer and pantry.


If I have a few minutes to myself, I will . . .
  Write in my journal. Sit on the porch.
 


New recipe I tried, or want to try this week. . .
  Coke Cake or Thyme-Sea Salt Crackers


One of my simple pleasures. . .
  Rings.  I love to wear rings (when I am not getting dirty in outdoor work).


Favorite photo from the camera. . .
 It's not a photo from this week or last, but it's a "happy" photo (sigh).  I love camping.  I miss camping already.



Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye). . .
  Thanks to my older brother, I have been visiting a blog with tons of free crochet patterns, including a pink ribbon scarf.  She has many YouTube videos and more patterns at Ravelry and Craftsy.   If you crochet, you'll love visiting this site:  Naztazia



Praying for . . .
 Mom, Dad, my cousins, friends and family with special requests, Hubby's sister (she was back in ICU and now back in a nursing home), the kids, my own family.


Bible verse, Devotional, that is resonating with me at the moment. . . . 
 Galatians 6:9 "And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up (NIV)."

I really need to get busy and make some bread for the week. As soon as I finish with the weeks link up I am going to get on that.

Rings are one of my favorite pieces of jewelry too. I think I get it from my grandmother, she always had hand fulls of rings on.

Have a great week!
I loved your camping mugs, they look so good! And the berry bread looks so yummy! Have a nice week :)

Have a great week.

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 . . .
