We have a pretty nice weekend, yet cold. We had a family wedding to attend, which was held outdoors (yes we froze our bums off, but the sun was out too), cut up more barn wood, and Hubby got up Sunday morning and cooked me breakfast (even though he had to work nights starting last night). We actually have started putting wood up (cut and ready) for this next winter. It's a small start, but a start, and it makes me feel so relieved. Say a prayer Hubby sticks with it this spring, summer and fall. He's notorious for putting it off.
We finally picked up our seed potatoes, although it was "slim pickin's." No red potatoes this year, just white. Red hasn't been that great with lasting long without a root cellar or basement, and white does better in my kitchen bin. We'll see how it goes this year.
My routine will be discombobulated this week. I need to do things backwards, like make a pot of coffee at dinner, which we never do. I need to make sure something else is leftover for Hubby's lunch too, or more like breakfast. It's gonna be a crazy week for us.
On the breakfast table . . .
Two eggs over easy, toast with homemade pear butter, coffee, and pomegranate juice.
The weather outside . . .
Woke up to 31°F and snow. Yes. More. Snow. Just a light snow, but it's all over the vehicles and the ground this morning. It's cloudy too.
What I am reading. . .
Lots and lots of non-fiction books from the library. Blogs. Cookbooks.
On the TV . . .
Well, it's not so much McCleod's Daughter's and Season 2 of Wildfire this week for myself. I found a series called Parenthood to watch since Hubby isn't home in the evenings to watch TV with me.
What I'm looking forward to this week . . .
Friday. Unless Hubby works beyond that, I'm looking forward to him being off night shift. Although being the Boss for a week will gain him more experience.
My to-do list this week . . .
All depends on what I can do that is quiet.
My menu this week . . .
-miso/chickpea burgers topped with pickles/tomato/lettuce, and steamed fresh broccoli
-organic pork chops/homemade mushroom soup, roasted rosemary potatoes, prosecco/bacon peas
-sheet pan meatloaf with green beans
-Easy "Turkey" casserole (but will use ground beef, onion, home canned tomato sauce, and asparagus)
-homemade pizzas with home canned pizza sauce
-leftovers when needed
New recipe I tried or want to try this week. . .
The Mexican egg/chia recipe is still on my list to try, and now black bean hummus.
If I have time to myelf I will . . .
Probably crochet something or work in on organizing papers I stuffed in my homesteading bookshelf. I know the second one sounds like work, but I enjoy my homesteading bookshelf.
What I am crocheting, knitting, sewing or creating. . .
Two different baby blankets, a pot holder set, knitted dishcloth, and a fancy, thin dishcloth.
From the camera . . .

Bible verse, Devotional, Quote. . .
