An egg in my pocket. . .

I had eggs and home canned applesauce for breakfast.  I thought you'd like to know that, because it was the highlight of my day yesterday.  Actually it was, because we are clean out of fresh fruit, and remembering that applesauce sure cheered me up.

The other highlight is not breaking the egg I put in my coat pocket.  I bent over to get some hay and almost forgot it was in  my pocket.  That would have been disastrous. 

Hubby and I came to a decision on the meat birds.
We are not ordering this year.  I'm hoping what's in my freezer will last until fall, and we can "ponder" on fall meat birds.  We haven't decided on layers just yet.

I'm sure a few kiddo's will be happy this spring.   They don't particularly like helping with meat bird chores.




One day left of the month, and I'm still reading my current Hemingway book (left).  I have one more in my books stash, and then it's time to check the library.  I'll admit, I haven't been in the mood to read.  I have to be in the mood.

I took a "sneak" peek photo of my next floor rug, but forgot to load it. I guess I will just wait until it's finished.

I printed off two more scholarship applications for our 18 year-old.  She asked for help, but now she is bombarded with homework on top of applying for these.  She is still a senior in high school, and taking another college class on top of it. 

I asked her if I earned any "Mom" points with her yet.  I bet she never thought I find so many so quickly.  Now, let's hope she gets some of them.  Her room at the college is already secured.  The food card cost is astronomically high.  However, it's the only way to really eat there, especially the first year.

11 degrees F here this morning! Brrr....we're supposed to be in the 50's or 60's.....hopefully you are! LOL! So glad you didn't break that one egg. For some reason, I have been in the mood for reading and several audio books too. What a busy and expensive time for your family with college and applications and all those "fees". Where is she going?
I can't wait to see the rug...loved your last one!

Yay for canned applesauce! We've been hitting ours pretty heavily lately, too. We often have just a small dish of it as dessert . . . just enough of a little "sweet" after a meal.

Wonder how many homestead/farm jacket pockets have had an egg broken in them? I'm betting a LOT! :o} I know I've done my share . . . and probably will do more.

It's such a shame that the food costs for your daughter's first year of college look to be so high. But, sigh, we all know how food prices have skyrocketed so it's costing all food services more on their end, too. Does your daughter have a job lined up for this summer? Before she starts college?
Sam I am, she's attending a state-side college, and her major is Zoology.
Mama Pea, no, she doesn't have a job lined up just yet. She is so busy with homework,she can't work right now either. She was up to 3am doing homework the other night. She takes Calculus too. After graduation, she'll look for summer employment.

What a joy to hear of a high schooler with such solid work ethics! (I don't think I EVER stayed up to 3 a.m. doing homework when I was in high school!) I'm sure it's early now for the summer jobs to become available anyway. After graduation when she can give a big sigh of relief, that will be the right time to find a good summer job.
Mama Pea, she gets very good grades, so we felt if she worked on top of these tough classes, that her grades will drop (an experience we had with her older sister). Hopefully, she can find a summer job.
She does sound ambitious.
Perhaps she could work for herself?
House sitting through the summer, working a near by farm, cleaning out stalls ...hehe... I see the humor there. But she does have experience.
Cleaning houses pays pretty well, as does dog walking and things like that.
She wouldn't have to check groceries, wait tables... the sky is the limit!
Good for her getting her work all done... and being so diligent about it.
I have to say...seeing your books reminds me that I have a ton of old books that I want to begin reading...
Many great works and classics.
You're such an inspiration!
I'm still working at the moment of using up my yarn... so reading is just another thing on the list
Patricia, I am glad I am inspiring you. Reading is sometimes on my list too. There's never enough time in the day, no matter what season it is.

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 . . .
