Chillin' ~ Discombobulated ~ Another "Finish"

Bwahahaha!  I can't believe Jesse sat there so long with those sunglasses on.  Some days he just cracks me up. Check out that one eye looking up over the top of the glasses, ha ha!

Thursday was pretty much close to a Monday for me.  Due to weather I was delayed on laundry, chores etc. I have been feeling a bit discombobulated.



It was time for another scramble too.  The garden sweet potatoes still provide.  I added dandelions, green pepper, onion, and jalapeno to it later....along with sausage.  I wanted swiss chard, but we got zero put into the freezer last summer/fall.  I still have beet greens and other greens though.



I baked a loaf of banana bread with organic spices, flax seed, homemade vanilla and locally grown walnuts.



My ham bone and organic (soaked) pinto beans went into a crock pot for soup beans and homemade cornbread.



After all that cooking and baking, I finally did the dishes.  Lots of dishes.  I still manage to dirty quite a bit making everything from scratch.  And for only 3 people too.  That was only one pile of dishes.  I had them on the table and another counter.



Finished another bookmark.

Read a bit, and even journaled a bit.  The more I read, the more creative I get with my writing (although I'm not working on much right now).

I'm still having a bit of trouble replying to your comments.  Hopefully blogger will fix the blip soon.  It seems to happen when I try to reply early in the morning, but not in the afternoon.  I guess I'll be trying afternoons for now.

We are at a wind chill of -5°F this morning.

ooooO! Lots to turn me on to~day.....
The scramble looks lovely..my sort of
winter food, l've yet to keep one for a
'whole' day..very moreish...! :).

The bread looks great to..l love it, eat
loads of it, we Sicilians even eat it with
pasta..!
And..did you know it's back luck to place
bread up~side~down..or even throw it away
for that matter..! :(.

Oh! And! Ham bone...Love it! Love it! Love it!
Love any meat on the bone, nowt nicer than
picking up a bone with meat on it, and making
a pig of ones self...HeHe! :o).

And..Jesse has certainly got himself in a bit
of shade..Bless!
And..just in case no one knows the meaning...
Discombobulated..(Verb)..To put together in a
somewhat mysterious manner. To bring something
out of a state of confusion or disarray.
To manufacture by some unusual or novel means..
(Clear as mud)....
Thanks Willie, that scramble will last a few days during this cold blast. Jesse can be pretty funny sometimes.

Remember when I said Jesse reminds me so much of my old farm dog Abby? Well, we actually have a picture like that of her too with sunglasses on...I wonder if they are distantly related?
I had scrambled eggs this morning but just plain with bacon on the side leftover from yesterday.
That is a pile of dishes alright! I know what you mean as I always have dishes....when you cook you get dirty dishes. Even though it's just me, the dogs and cats go through them too.
Stay warm!

I'm cooking for only two of us and I'm always amazed at the amount of dishes I have to wash! I do believe it comes from making everything from scratch and not using a microwave. When I have mountains of dirty dishes I have to remind myself that it's all worth it for our health and well-being!

I hate that discombobulated feeling. Even so, you plowed on through and managed to make a productive day of it. Good for you!
Sam I Am, that is funny about the dog.
Mama Pea, you are right. I always try to look for the good of all that work.
thanks mamasmercantile and Leigh. Some how we do get work done in one day.

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 . . .
