The weather outside . . .
Much colder than yesterday. Yesterday, we enjoyed breakfast on the porch, then simply relaxed most of the afternoon. A few home repairs were completed too. After the rain stopped on Sunday, cold air moved in and the wind picked up. Today the wind is down, but cold, cold, cold. Woke up to a chilly 43°F.
Looking around the house . . .
Hubby attemped to pick pears, but the rain fell again, and he only brought in 6. However, they are huge!
Currently reading . . .
going through old magazines, purging them
On the TV today. . .

This week it's a sewing project. The longer, antique patterned fabric has left the closet and will be made into a tablecloth.
From my camera . . .
This morning's sunrise
And! Yesterday's rainbow's. Now one but two of them in the same day.
Something I found interesting. . .
. . . that swapping dry sherry for whiskey in a recipe I use, made it taste even better.
Bible verse, Devotional . . .
Proverbs 17:7(NIV)
7 Eloquent lips are unsuited to a godless fool—how much worse lying lips to a ruler!

ReplyDeleteYummy breakfast. We're at 40 degrees this morning but going back up to 80s. I'm quite tired of it and wish it would just stay Fall weather hahah
ReplyDeleteReading your blog is like reading my own, we do a lot of the same things and enjoy a lot of the same too :)
Hope you have a wonderful week.
Beautiful sunrise! I love the little caravan decor piece on your porch.
ReplyDeleteSandra, I know what you mean about the weather. It's rather chilly now, but it's to heat up again. Sigh...
ReplyDeletePamela, thanks. I love camping and older campers. The kids gifted me about 3 Camper Christmas ornaments, and one lights up. Just love to put campers out. I have a garden stone with a old time camper and a wall sign (welcome) in the house too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you accomplished half your to do list before the week even began. Great pictures - love the clothes drying on the line - reminds me of grandma. Have a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteTammy, as of Tuesday, that is everything I accomplished so far. I am crossing it off as the week goes by and I get it done. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful photos! 43 is cold. We woke up to 50 this morning, seems a good fall morning temp but I know the mornings will be a lot cooler sooner rather than later. Hope your week is going well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jean, so far the week is going pretty well. I'm getting things crossed off that long list now.
ReplyDeleteGreat breakfast...I'm hungry! I find if I have lots of heavy work to do that eggs really fuel me or maybe just protein period. I love your homemaker Mondays. You're getting so much done!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam I Am, Sandra inspires me with the link up for Happy Homemaker, and it helps me stay on track with work.
