Spider Webs be Gone!

The weather here has been rain.  Rain, and more rain.

I've had a slight blurp in my blogging lately.  There are many reasons for it.  One, Hubby called me one day, and whisked me off for a half-day vacation day.


Two, I took a day for a Mom/Daughter day out.  And it was
an out-of-town day of fun.  It rained ( a lot) , but we had lots of indoor attractions, wineries, and flea markets to see. 

The next day the sun came out.  

Hubby whisked me off on a motorcycle ride.  Actually two, in two days. While out on one ride, we ran into a biker we ride with and stole off on another ride with him, ha ha!  

I think I needed it too.  I was starting to get a bit, oh how should I put it?  A bit less energetic?  No kick in my day?  No spunk?  

Tulsi tea to the rescue.  Bzzzztttt.  Energy restored.

The master bath deep clean was started, but I think I was gravitating from room to room.  It's so difficult to stick to one entire room with this family (kids!!).  I am thankful for the e-cloths Mom gifted me.  I had one cloth so dirty, I had to stop two different days to wash and dry it.


I cleaned every stinkin' nook and cranny, and then some.  

Soap dishes wiped clean,


wall hangings dusted, light fixtures cleaned, cupboards cleaned out and wiped clean (inside and out)trash can bleached, spider webs removed...and I'm still not done in there.  I have a few more drawers to dump out and wipe clean, the floor wall trim to wipe down, the floor grout to clean and I need to wipe down the door.
 


I finally removed the wine labels from the bottles I had sitting around as well.  Those were put into my wine journal. 

It's week two of using my homemade hair tonic. I am noticing my scalp itches now.  I am hoping that means new hair growth.

You deserved a day out or many! Every Mother does! LOL! I'm glad you took a daughter /Mother day too as soon enough they will be gone with their own lives. I miss my daughter as we always have so much fun together but at least we talk on the phone most evenings.
Your cleaning puts me to shame! But it motivates me too.. a little shame is good! LOL!
Sam I Am, our master bath is about 3 x the size of our smallest bedroom here. It was built on for a handicapped person, so I have a large tile floor to clean by hand. It will take me several days to scrub it, lol!

I think it's great that you had some fun time! I have a wine journal myself, though we've slowed down on the wine tasting to try to save some money lately. Alex got me a wine label removal kit last year that works really nicely. I used to soak them in hot water but had the toughest time with ripping the labels.

My spring cleaning is going to start this week and I'm NOT looking forward to the nooks and crannies!!!
Rain, I have a wine label removal kit too. I brought home plum wine to taste, as we should start getting plums. However, I felt it was too sweet.

I never tried plum, but we did bring home a blueberry wine once...oooh, way too sweet. I think with the fruit wines, we have to think of them more as liqueurs because we're too used to the dry red wines and the crisp white ones.
Rain, I think there is a way to tone them down when we make them here. I'm learning, so I hope to be back to making the wines, but with less sugar.

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 . . .
