Finished! Sunrise and the upcoming Labor Day Weekend

Crocheted/Granny square washcloth is completed. One project checked off the list.

I've been labeling jars, filling the pantry, and rotating out older supplies.  It's a good feeling to put something in the cupboards.

I was lucky to snap this sunrise photo about 1/2 hour before the actual sunrise this morning.  I'm glad I did.  At the time it was to be up, the clouds later took over.  Just beautiful.  Sigh....

In the past, we've taken the kiddos camping over Labor Day weekend.  It's crowded, loud and not very nice, so we are home this year.  Hubby has a long list of outdoor work to catch up on, and he was not happy when I told him I was canning Saturday morning (again, or Sunday), but I'd be done fairly quickly.  We are tackling our jungle and possibly splitting wood.  And maybe digging out some barn wood. Who knows.  He changes his mind often, but I do know the weed whipping will be done.  I miss my beautiful flower beds and now we can sit on the porch(s) comfortably.

I continue to rest my foot up on a chair (swelling is down on leg with spider bites, but not completely).  So, in between work, I get a bit more "porch" time.  It's healing nicely so far, by the way.  I am thankful for the new doctor.

Mr. Fox has not returned.  I let the hennies out yesterday, and 5 escaped the fence.  I am so lazy about checking the fence too.  I had hoped they would sense the fox danger and stay in the fence.  But no....they have to be a pain in the bum.

This weather here has gotten me all depressed. Although we would rather camp with less crowds, I am wanting to go camping badly, sit around the fire and sip a beverage, roast mallows....sigh....I'll get over it, but still.

The winter prep list is long, and I'm starting to freak out.  We need a financial blessing so I can check the big jobs off.  Wouldn't that be nice?  To hire help to get big jobs off the list?  Like remove that ginormous barn ruble pile?

I know what you mean....after spending $500 my roof still leaks and I realize now I need a rubber roof put on it and evidently there isn't anyone in the area that knows how. All in good time but I too have things to do before Winter. It is finally out of the 90's so I can work outside....I can't handle the heat and humidity but now it's cooler I need to get out and get things done! I hope you have a nice weekend and you live on an acreage...you can certainly have a campfire and roast marshmallows there! Have a great weekend!
Sam I Am, we had plans for a homestead campfire, but the wind is terrible here.

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 . . .
