Happy Homemaker Monday

Joining up with Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom - Happy Homemaker Monday!  Even though I don't feel so happy today.  Or should I say positively energetic?  Maybe after I post, I'll start to feel better.  I haven't had time to do any baking lately, and have absolutely no idea what dinner will be yet.  I may be PB & J on the porch.  That is the reality of homesteading.  And raising kids. 

What's on the breakfast plate. . .

Leftover pumpkin pancakes with dandelion syrup.  I didn't make these with einkorn flour.  One of the girls made them for us.  Next time I will.


The weather. . .
Sunny, a bit chilly this morning, but it should warm up.  Windy.
 

On my reading pile. . .

Cookbooks and the same fiction book I was reading.


On my TV. . .
The old original series of Walking Tall, and Night Shift series on Netflix.


On the menu. . .
Ha ha ha!  I've been so busy, tonight is either PB & J or home canned tomato basil soup with sandwiches grilled.
I have no clue, and for once, I am not worrying about it.
 

What I am crocheting, creating, sewing or knitting. . .

...various continued projects, including this hot pad set with an oversized pot holder.


Looking around the house.  . .
I see walnuts needing to be cracked yet, and a very messy living room.  I'm delegating that to the girls when school is out.
 


My to-do list. . .

laundry on the line
run dishwasher
water all new outside trees/plants

take trash out
let chickens out
plant carrots, beets and radishes
water peas and potatoes
transplant lavender plants 

(I'm emptying my rain barrels as fast as they fill)
wash dishes - now delegated to the girls as well
sweep kitchen
scrub up master bath
vacuum
wash a few rugs
run to the store for dog and cat food (when I have a car)
finish weeding rose bed
finish cleaning up last tree
get more porch furniture out
weed whip the raised beds
mow 
plant the rosebush that didn't get planted yesterday 
(this is my long week to-do list....ain't no wait it's gettin' done today, ha ha ha!) 
 



On my camera. . . 

What I am wearing today. . .

Garden/work clothes

One of my simple pleasures. . .

Time on my front porch.
