Good morning! I'm joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom today. It's been quite a long time since I joined. I have a long list of possible "to-do's" so it'll be interesting as to what I actually get done. I'll link up as soon as she posts this morning. I was up at 5:20am, so hence my early post.
The weather outside is . . .
This isn't from today, but from yesterday as the "winter" rain and wind rolled in. It's cold again today.
On the breakfast plate this morning . . .
Blueberry pancakes, sausage and eggs
As I look outside my window . . .
See that broken window in my one barn (in the above photo)? Yeah...gotta cover it with thick plastic for the winter, so I can get it replaced in the spring.
Clear and sunny skies today, but cold, cold, cold.
Right now I am . . .
Folding towels.
As I look around the house . . .
It definitely needs cleaned up. We took the day off of work yesterday and ran errands.

"Snow, Stars and Wild Honey," by George P. Morrill
On the TV . . .
Movies we rented from daughter's work place
On the menu this week . . .
Ha ha ha ha! Oh, I have no idea. Maybe chicken in the crock pot with mustard sauce and roasted brussel sprouts one day.
What I am creating at the moment . . .
A crocheted headband for my oldest daughter.
New recipe I tried or want to try . . .
I have a long list of try-it's, but have very little time to do that lately - chocolate rum truffles, homemade chocolate marshmallows...the list is long.
Favorite photo from the camera. . .
A recent sunrise view from the front porch.
Prayers, Inspirational Quotes, or Devotionals. . .

Your always..going on..about how hard you
all work..housework etc..Yes! Yes! You do
ALL work hard..I know l was a single parent
for 14yrs..Mum and a Dad..and as l still
live alone, maintaining a home is still a
chore, but has to be done..l got the J Edgar
out this morning, plugged it in, and chased a bit
of dust around my home...
But! But! making out a list out is fatal..
A list! Goodness me! No! :(.
HaHa! The funniest! 'On the menu this week....
'Chicken in the Crock Pot'
And..there..at the top of this post is a lovely
picture/photo of a 'live' chicken..Bless!x
I hope that's 'NOT' the intended victim...! :).
So..I'm with Mark Twain...! :)
Onwards and Upwards...! :). 🐾🐾🐾
I haven't made a list for several weeks now. Very unusual for me. I think all the end-of-season chores just got to be too much for me. What gets done will get done. Losing my steam and ready for winter down time!
