Movies or Shows I watched this weekend. . .
 ~ nothing, spent my time working outside, watching football, and doing handiwork.


On my TV. . .
 ~the news, we finally bought an antenna.

Looking around the house. . .
 ~ it's looking much cleaner every day now.
 

From the camera. . . 
  Jasper - enjoying his new bed, but upset I woke him up from his slumber, ha ha!


One of my simple pleasures. . .

We had an antena that picked up seven channels in the mountains, and now that we are at the coast we have 30! But no abc, which is unfortunate :( But yes, we watch a lot of news, and public broadcasted kids cartoons lol! But its better than paying for satellite anyday!
You have a beautiful kitty! I think our kittens beds may be softer than the ones we sleep in, lol!
Have a great week!
Stacy D, thanks for visiting my blog today. Yes, it is way less expensive to ditch our cable service. They had raised rates to $180/month and internet only is $64.99/month. It's crazy! It felt good to see the news, because we have family down in FL and GA. Jasper is a cutie and a lover. Thanks. I hope your week is grand too.

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 . . .
