The Non-Porch Projects

Wow!  We had a high of 71°F on Tuesday, but rain, rain and more rain.  

Breakfast  ~ Two eggs over easy, over leftover Mexican Quinoa.  A favorite lately.  The hens were oh so happy yesterday with weather change. I hope egg supply increases today.


Banana-Blueberry bread.  I made this using homemade yogurt vs. sour cream.  It turned out very soft too.  I had hoped it would last the rest of the work week, but it's going fast already.

There was a request for more Mexican Quinoa, so I pulled a bag of corn from the freezer.  I laughed, and laughed.  My youngest daughter and Hubby took over the corn when I couldn't (taking it off the cob and freezing it last summer).  So funny.  It was 2-ish cups too.


I finished this "Harley Davidson" scarf yesterday.  It's being donated to the auction too.  

Although it looks like I had a rather busy day, it seemed to go slower to me.

I even opened the garage and started to clean up in there too.  Even if the rain came down or not.  Cleaning the garage and the utility room are my trouble spots.  Things get thrown in, and no one around here keeps it tidy.  We need the space to pull a vehicle in, when repairs are needed too (like my awaiting brake repair).

I managed to add some items to the thrift box, and filled two garbage bags of garbage.  I emptied about 6 cardboard boxes, which are awaiting me to breakdown and tote to the barn for another use.  I found several items to get rid of, that have been offered to other people.  If they are not wanted, they too, go to the thrift.  I even found a box of clothes hangers, which included "toddler" hangers to pass on as well.  Although only an hour or so was spent in there, if felt good to get a start on it (again).

It's crazy weather for February, so after chores, I took my current project to the porch.  I was quickly back inside.  Until the rain stops, I can't put a chair out on the covered porch.  During this time of year, the wind blows the rain right under the roof and covers the entire porch.  I was so ready to take a folding chair out there too.  The sun popped out for a while too.

It's a bit cooler today.  No heat needed, but no open windows either.  It'll get cold again, but I so enjoyed the warm up.

Don't worry, I won't be deep cleaning today.  It's too cold to open the garage or work in my closet.  I'll most likely do a swipe type cleaning, check laundry status, delegate sweeping of floors, and dishes, and do some writing.  I should probably bring in more radish pods and get more seeds ready too. I'll admit, I am excited to see spring planting arrive soon.

I'm excited for spring planting too! We have lots of rain the last few days too, which is making things so messy out there. But winter isn't over yet, snow in the forecast for Friday. You egg dish looks great and that bundt bread too! :)
Thanks Rain, we are flooding here now.

Love the look of the bundt. I am hoping to get started on the tyres that I am using as planters so I can start on some herbs seeds.

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 . . .
