Made it. . .

Is anyone out there in cyber land?  Hello?  Seems like less folks have less time to read blogs this time of year.  I'm one of them.  I'm so busy it's crazy busy, but functioning like a turtle due to sleep deprivation.

I made it through Monday.  The truck is still not fixed, so I still without wheels.  It's either raining, or some other reason we don't get it done. It rained again yesterday afternoon and through the night, but no bad storms as the weather man said.  Today?  More rain, so I'm on the indoor to-do list today.

I was happy to get much of the laundry out on the line and dried before more rain arrived.   I missed a flower head on the rhubarb, so that was cut off too. 


Apparently, there are not enough spider traps in my house.    I took it outside to kill, but from checking with others, it may be a type of wolf spider.

The day went fast, but I was dragging my feet. Every little job takes up time anymore - dump egg shells, check the asparagus, get the mail, start taking laundry down, get dinner in the crock pot, etc. etc.

The hens are back to producing pretty good now, which I am thankful for.

Nothing homesteady in this post either, but a post. Hubby had a job I needed done last night, as he had my car, but got over time.  

Meanwhile, Mom suggested a crocheted item for her grandson (my nephew).  

Monster ice pop holders for kids!  I made 3 last night, but need the felt to finish them.  This on is not glued on yet, but you get to see the first one.  I worked on this, while trying to watch regular TV, as the channel went in and out during the downpour.

Oh I have other half done projects, and could have been cleaning the closet, making lotion, and whatnot.  But when you get up at 3am, and have been tired as heck, you get into PJ's at 4pm and get comfortable.

At least you're getting up blog posts, Kristina. I haven't been able to do that. This is such a crazy, busy time of year. I'm a bit like you in that there is so much I should be doing that I'm almost paralyzed and can't seem to get even one thing done of a day's time. I woke at 1:30 this morning and think I may have dozed on and off for about an hour more until getting up at 5:30. Some times it's just a bunch of fun, fun, fun, isn't it? ;o) This, too, shall pass.
Mama Pea, I get so frustrated with the rain lately - too wet, or no time between downpours to plant or weed. And waking up in the early hours and not being able to sleep doesn't help. I didn't even work out yesterday (yikes). I plan on working out today, but once again that rain will deter my outside work. I sure hope to get the garden going again before too long.
Oh I hear you on the rain. They only things not bothered by the rain are the chickens. They don't let a downpour stop them from scratching and eating bugs. The rain really makes me lazy. Hence, why I'm sitting here reading and commenting. :)

The rain was getting me down too but finally we have had a couple of really nice days with more forecast so for that I am thankful. Such a great idea to crochet a cover for the ice pops.
Betsy, the rain is really delaying everything, but it's bringing up edible weeds.
mamasmercantile, the rain makes me lazy and I know I have a ton of indoor work that can be done too. Oye.

I'm moving at a slow pace due to lack of sleep as well. Every task feels like it takes too much energy. I hope you're able to get some sleep soon.
Thanks Angela! I'm hoping for a morning to sleep in soon.

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 . . .
