A big thank you to those leaving me comments. They brighten my day. Thank you to all who even visit my blog as well.
Wednesday was a strange day for me. It was our daughter's (youngest) first day to school. We were all up at 5:30am, and sitting on the porch awaiting the school bus. The bus picks her up at 6:17am. It felt very weird to be home alone. Too quiet for me, so the music came on.
Before cleaning the kitchen, I had the washing machine going, and multi-tasked.
A handful of hot peppers were sliced and frozen, while I baked up a large breakfast egg/sausage/potato/sweet potato/hot pepper scramble. It'll last the next few days, so we won't have to cook at 5:30am.
We needed tortillas for that scramble (needed more eggs, but I have slackers right now and needed two more eggs), so I whipped up some einkorn homemade tortillas. I shared this a while back, but now the recipe is also online: Einkorn Tortillas.
I also baked some Einkorn Snickerdoodles. I knew our daughter would need some comfort food after her first nervous day at school, and my hard working husband would love a healthy treat.
I took down all the kitchen curtains, washed the windows and wood work, and put new curtains up. They sort of look like bandannas and have a white back. They will be perfect for keeping the kitchen warmer this winter, and blocking out the heat of the sun when necessary too. I have odd shaped windows, so the valances will not fit, and are in storage for now. I may use lighter curtains for spring and summer and just use these in the fall/winter.
Washed, dried and put away all my dirty dishes. Counters were scrubbed clean and sanitized. Stove top scrubbed.

You've been busy in the kitchen, that's for sure.
Oh, yes. I remember school well indeed.
Looks like you had a busy day, even though alone in the house.
I finally feel like I've turned the corner of illnesses and pains. I got the energy up to color my hair yesterday - purplish, my favorite hair color. It had turned rather gray while I was ill last winter, so the color really took and it's kinda dark even though it's the color I always use, but I'll get use to it. Was telling someone online who was contemplating going back to a color they once had, do what makes you really feel like "you". Cause that's how I feel with my hair color back again.
Got all the cat blankets washed, hung out on the line, dried, brought in and folded yesterday. Though I usually do that every day, due to several rainy days, it had piled up so it was quite a chore, but fulfilling once done.
Gonna run on cause I work tomorrow.
Prayers everyone has a great week, and a safe one too.
God bless.
