I'm joining up with Sandra, at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom, for Happy Homemaker Monday today. My back is getting a super work out (and a painful one). I'm on my 6th load of laundry, and have 2 more to go, and it's already noon. Yikes.
The weather. . .
Is beautiful. I bit cool, but the sun is shining brightly.
On my bedside table. . .
Is a reminder of what I need to do today, yarn scraps, and an empty water glass.
On my reading pile. . .
Still reading "Don't Let Go" until I look at other books I have.
On my TV. . .
Netflix. We are once again considering dropping the cable. The only thing holding Hubby back is the kids and their shows. I think we need to drop it. It's gone up again.
On the menu this week. . .
~BBQ turkey, roasted veggies
~Southwestern quesadillas with a lime sauce
~Chicken teriyaki
~Baked mac n' cheese, green beans cooked with kale and hot sauce, and another veggie I haven't decided on
~not sure on the rest yet
On my to-do list. . .
laundry, more to get out and back in today (this is a photo from today)
clean masterbath half way (half tomorrow)
vacuum
dust
file bills
make a call
pick up a book at the library
hang clothes up
put clean sheets on the bed
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating. . .
...still crocheting this scrap yarn blanket. It's my main focus right now. I hope to finish it this week.
Looking forward to. . .
..getting the study painted, furniture moved, new curtains up, and new houseplants.
Looking around the house . . .
...lots to do, lots to do...
From the camera. . .
What I am wearing. . .
...fancy pocket jeans, tennis shoes, long sleeved shirt underneath a t-shirt - it's clean sweep-the-house day. It gives me a fresh start to the week (having a clean bathroom, clean bedding, washed rugs etc.)
One of my simple pleasures. . .
Snacking on nuts, but I have to be careful of those calories. Yikes.
Bible Verse, Devotional. . .
" He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV

Comments
I love hanging out what some women in the old days called "flats" which were sheets, pillow cases, tablecloths, towels, washcloths, etc., first of all, drying towels outside makes them far more absorbent, and secondly, because it makes them fresher and cleaner/more sanitary because of the sunshine.
I do hang out my around-the-house clothes too. About the only clothes I put in the dryer are my work uniform and my better clothing that will wrinkle if hung outside.
I think scrap blankets are the prettiest of all. Some colors that might not look good placed next to each other, work just fine if spaced out with those that do first.
Have decided we're going through far too many paper towels here, so I'll be looking for some cotton yarn that I can crochet/knit some kitchen wash cloths with.
Bob behaved well with me today, and I'm thankful for that.
Prayers everyone has a great day tomorrow, and a safe one too.
God bless.
