Happy Homemaker Monday


It's back to the "grind" Monday.  I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.  This past weekend was a heavy one, and I am so glad I put on sweatpants Sunday.  Sweatpants give me permission to be lazy, and to be less likely a busy crazy woman.  It was a detox tea day too.  After waiting two long weeks, my car brakes are finally replaced.  Now the muffler on Daughter's car is hanging low.  I noticed it Sunday morning, so Hubby did a quick tie up job on it.  She could win a "best jalopy" award if there was a contest.  Seeing the sun up, brighter and earlier today, motivates me in a pleasingly way.  It's getting me in the mood for early morning garden work, so bring it on Spring.  


On the breakfast table. . .


A "garbage" frittata.  Literally, whatever needed used up, and a few more home grown sweet potatoes.  And coffee.  Lots and lots of coffee.


The weather outside . . .

We are to get a high of 52°F today, and the sun is shining brightly.


On the to-do list. . .
-exercise
-sort through bills and file stuff (the most daunting task today, so I put it first after a rigorous work out and before a rigorous work out.)

-muck chicken coop (so badly needed and the weather is warmer and the sun is out too)
-dishes
-floors

(I filled all 3 outdoor lines, the indoor clothesline and a drying rack)
-laundry
-make homemade yogurt
-empty ash bucket
-water plants
-prep dinner ~ bake buttermilk cornbread
-write (prompt writing, two article drafts, novel)
-seed more radish pods (weather is warming up and I gotta get this job done before seed pods mold, ugh).

-work up price tags for larger crocheted items
-check on library returns, and order books


Currently reading . . .
 Nothing.  I will pick up a book and magazines at the library soon.  I do miss reading the printed newspaper.  


On the TV . . .
 Just finished the series, "Wild Roses" on Amazon Prime.  Only to find out that their 2nd season was canceled and the 1st leaves you hanging.


On the menu this week . . .
Have no clue.  What the pantry provides I guess.  


If I have a few minutes to myself, I will . . . 

 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!


What I am crocheting, sewing, knitting or creating . . .
A different ripple pattern  - baby blanket with yarn stash.  Too tired and busy to get you a photo.  I will share it soon though.


New recipe I have tried or want to try . . .
 Nothing at the moment, and I thankful for that for once.


Favorite photo from the camera . . .


Nothing on the camera, but the clothesline etc.  Although it makes me happy to put laundry out again.

Bible Verse, Devotional, Quote . . . 

Proverbs 21:20: The wise have wealth and luxury, but fools spend whatever they get.

I love the way clothes smell after being hung outside in the line! Hope you a blessed week!

Your clothesline picture makes me feel like spring is already here! I find that I've started checking to see how many episodes and seasons of a show are on Amazon or Netflix before I'll commit to it. Hope you have a great week!
Jean, I almost went to my garden to start getting it ready, but had too much to get done, ha ha! It's a bit brisk, but the sun is out and the wind is blowing.

The garbage frittata is good idea! Looks like a great way to use up bits of this, that, and the other. And I soooooo want to get a clothes line put up this year! I miss hanging my clothes out on the line to dry! Have a blessed week ahead! <3

Don't you just hate when you are so into a show, only to find out you will never get answers when they cancel it.... so frustrating! Have a great week!

Sounds like a great drying day, I love the smell of line dried washing. The garbage frittata looks amazing, we had something similar for dinner last night.
Rebecca, I have 3 outdoor lines. Some short indoor lines and drying racks. It was high time to get it done while the weather was good.
Jodi, it was a great series, so I am surprised they didn't do a 2nd one.
Luludou, no snow here. It was a beautiful day and today (Tuesday) should be even nicer.
mamasmercantile, the frittata was delicious too. I was so happy to do laundry. With our long, cold winter, I was drying small amounts on drying racks indoors.

Love the clothesline! Reminds me of growing up at my grandparent's farm. I miss it!

Have a blessed week!

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 . . .
