The weekend weather was wacky. Friday I got very little done outside. I started weeding the herb garden, got a corner done, and it started to rain. It rained until noon, and it was cold, dark and windy.
Saturday it was raining again, and pretty cold.
Sunday morning we had more rain and thunderstorms. I had to build a tent in the kitchen for old man Jesse. I put an afghan over the backs of kitchen chairs to keep him calm. We can't find his thunder jacket.
I'm joining Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Leftover blueberry whole-wheat pancakes, coffee and pomegranate juice.
Right now I am. . .
getting ready to tackle the kitchen clean up first.
Thinking. . .
When will the rain give me a break for outside work? Which job should I tackle first? Which weed will I be able to pick today and dehydrate or use for dinner?
On my reading pile. . .
Nothing. No motivation to sit and read with the garden in full swing (dodging the rain), and with a recent crochet order.
On my TV . . .
The last 3 shows of Wild Fire
On the menu . . .
-Chicken Teriyaki
-have no idea, ha ha!
On my to-do list . . .
Depends on the weather. I've been fighting the rain to get the weeding done, but the house work is on the top of the list if the rain arrives early. If the rain arrives I also have some "make it" items on the list.
The weather outside is . . .
Warmer than the weekend, but rain is coming. Again. And again for more days here.
What I am crocheting, knitting, sewing or creating. . .
Well I can tell you what I created - a small crocheted nesting basket to hold my reusable "cotton balls."
I also got a set of 3 mini nesting baskets crocheted and gifted them to Mom for Mother's Day. I filled a gift bag with a bottle of wine, chocolates, snacks, a beach glass necklace, and a pair of flamingo print socks (which she loved!).
I also got a crochet order - a winter scarf. I'm tickled I got the order, so it's my porch project this week.
Homemaking Tip: Buy a reusable shopping bag for a gift bag. They are much cheaper, and more environmentally friendly. We attempted this at the largest grocery chain Mom shops at, but they had zero in the store. I was not happy, but the idea is a perfect one for gifting.
Looking forward to this week . . .
Well, I'd say our family camp out, but we canceled it today. Due to the rain, we will have to reschedule. Otherwise I am looking forward to the big move out if it happens. More on that later (not us, the kids).

Hubby and I sip hot coffee and watch the sunrise every morning before he leaves for work, and this is one of them lately.

Do Not Worry
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Comments
Great idea about the reusable bag.
The crochet bags are great. I will look that up would be a great project.
Have a great week
Hope the rain lets up so that you can get your hands in the garden. I've been lucky and have pretty much spent all weekend with dirty hands, is there anything better?
Have a great week.
