Work Day ~ Visiting Family

I think I have blogger's block today.  However, I feel that not blogging would be a disservice to my readers.  I have no pictures to share either.  Sigh.  Could it be that I am simply getting boring?

I spent most of the day outdoors.  Hubby was called in to work for a few hours, so I collected all the flower pots and emptied those, put away all metal stands and hanging baskets etc.  Garden hoses were dried out and rolled up for storage too.  Winter prep stuff like that was done.

The kids had a long list of "to-do" indoors, and I see a few did not get done.  I took a quick trip to the big city with Hubby and visited his sister.  We took her some homemade crock pot macaroni and cheese for her as well.  She is looking better, but has a long ways to go to recover.

After that we visited my Mom.  I came home with two bags full of hedge apples.  I'll put those around the house today.  They do work at keeping those pesky spiders out too.

Yesterday, although it rained off and on, I was successful with drying laundry outside.  Today it is a bit chilly, but I do love this weather.  It's perfect for wood splitting and such.

Five Minutes for Me  ~  Sipping a mug of homemade hot chocolate on the front porch.  Mmm.

You may think you're boring but I don't. I love all the things you do and it motivates me...like a round robin. I like to read and connect with women that "use it up, make it do, throw it out, or buy it new"....similar to your saying except this is the one I grew up with. LOL! You are NEVER boring!

I agree . . . you are NOT boring. Pictures are nice (but not always necessary) in that we get more of a picture of your surroundings . . . and inhabitants!

I admire the way you do post so very frequently. I keep thinking that as I get into winter, I'll be a better blogger, too. You're my inspiration!

Enjoy your porch and your hot chocolate Kristina. We all need days of rest now and then. Even God needed one every six days. ;o)

God bless.

Question

  I have asked this before, but I know I follow a few writers who have written (and published) novels.  What is the best free or best least expensive (simple like Word) writing software to use that is not Google Docs? Thanks! I'll be back with an update soon I hope.  But I do appreciate your help, because I cannot find the information some of you suggested.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
