Weekend Tidbits ~ Do I hear Jingle Bells?

The weekend did warm up, and it was enough to let the fire go out.  Although we woke up to sunshine and no rain Sunday morning, I was fighting a migraine.

Around 5:00am Sunday morning, I took ibuprofen, and let a dog out.  The ibuprofen took the edge off, but laying there, I knew it was a migraine.  Then a bit after 8:00am, I asked Hubby to go search for my migraine medication.  It had expired.  It had been that long since I had one.


Without the stronger medication, I remember reading that Holy Basil tea helps relieve migraines.  Immediately, I asked Hubby to brew me a cup.  It did help too.  I'm not sure what caused it.




Sunday was a much nicer day here too.  We were delighted to have found a new home for Ava and Bonnie.  The two doelings went to a good home.  We shared our recipes and patted the goats on the head, and wished the family well.  



Hubby was not into the "put up the light" mode, so he drove to town for supplies, while I enlisted my 18 year-old daughter in the job. 



We cut back on the amount of outdoor lights this year too. 



We puttered around and put up a few indoor decorations. "Simple" is our motto this year.  The electric bill should be lower too.


Another good note - Son received an invitation to go work for a comic book company when he has completed his service for the Marines.  This was such good news.  The entire family is excited for him.  I guess I need to send off a shipment of art supplies so he can keep up on his brilliant work.

I get migrains too sometimes (with the flashy lights). I found acupressure works really fast. 10-15 minutes, all gone. There's lots of free resources online... Too early for christmas stuff here, as I LOVE Thanksgiving, almost more...
Nancy, the only reason the lights went up early, is due to weather. We got a break, so I took it. Otherwise, later we might not.

Congrats to your son! We were hoping to do lights outside today, but winter showed up in force.

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 . . .
