Happy Homemaker Monday

Today I am once again joining Sandra over at Diary of a Stay-at-home Mom.   It's "Happy Homemaker Monday!"  

This is getting posted late due to my busy day yesterday.  I simply got going with dinner, while our oldest daughter came for a visit.  I never got back to the computer, ha ha!



The weather outside is. . .
 Sunny, but a bit chilly and very, very windy.  Very wet out, so no garden work.  I'm hoping the wind will dry up the ground for us.

On the breakfast plate this morning . . .

As I look outside my window. . .
  I see my herb garden flourishing despite weeds.

 
Right now I am. . .
  Getting ready to go put another load of laundry on the line


As I look around the house. . .
  I see the kids are still not getting the swing of keeping dishes done.



On the To-do list. . .
~6 loads of laundry, put on the line to dry, and back down quickly to start mowing
~water/feed goats, chickens, dogs, cats
~put recycling in bins
~sweep kitchen
~mop kitchen
~vacuum all downstairs
~sort bills
~clean off both kitchen tables
~make two large breakfast meals for Hubby to take to work (dandelion/egg scramble and a crock pot of steel cut oats with apples and raisins)

~check asparagus
~check raspberry plants, cherry tree and grape plants
~cut more oregano
~put egg shells on the garden
~clean master bathroom

Currently reading. . .
  Nothing.  Not even the newspaper (oddly).

On the TV today. . .
  Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (netflix) season 2

On the menu this week. . .
   Well, we had creamy baked macaroni and cheese with zippy carrots Monday.  Tuesday will be a crock pot roast with veggies.  I'm not certain on the rest just yet.

 

What I am creating at the moment. . .
  Lots of projects.  Go to my blogpost here to see them.

New recipe I tried or want to try this week . . .
   I tried a "drunken" zucchini recipe the other day with BBQ western ribs and rosemary roasted potatoes.  The zucchini did not have enough flavor.  I added shallot powder to jazz it up a bit.  The recipe called for dry white wine, zucchini, onion, and fresh basil.

Favorite photo from the camera. . .
