Beautiful Sunrise ~ Fire Powder ~ Thyme



Yesterday's start of the sunrise.  Too beautiful to not take a few photos.  I was taking Romeo out, who was fired up with energy from the frost on the ground.  He wasn't sure what to do about it, ha ha!

First thing I had to do in the morning?  More dishes.  I literally made a mess of them, but after taking down all the laundry off the line, we were all pooped the night prior.  

Our 20 year-old came out for a visit.  I fed her leftover homemade enchiladas, spanish rice and hot taco dip (which she loved).


I finally got the hot peppers ground into fire powder.  I didn't have time the other day with all the other work.  I'm just glad I got my glady bulbs out of the ground, but the potatoes remain.  They may be there all winter depending on our weather. 



Some Christmas presents arrived.  I will thank my husband for buying these for me for an early Christmas present (he he).  Thank you Amazon.😊


Buttermilk waffles and sausage patties are breakfast goodies this week.  Haven't made them in a while.


Homemade Taco Dry Mix was restocked.  Love this stuff.

I sure hope the chimney sweep arrives Saturday, it'll be down to 25°F Friday night and we can't burn 24 hours prior to them coming.  They say we may hit single digits (sigh) next week too.  I'm glad I remember to buy a few new ice scrapers for the vehicles.


( I love my small batch dehydrator.  I filled it to the top)
My indoor thyme plant is doing so well, I snipped some and got it into the dehydrator.  I wish I had some oregano seeds to start an indoor plant for that too.  Both did terrible in the herb garden this year, but happy to stock up on thyme.

Face it.  We all have a cupboard where stuff falls out.  Or you did. 


Before


After (aside from the bowls on the rack on the left of it).  We can now find the lids, ha ha!  I also re-homed the serving trays.  We only use them for get togethers.  Fixed that problem with a set of organizers, under $15.00.  I also re-organized a drawer next to this one.


Update on the hot pepper jelly - Hubby's co-workers raved about it.  It's a keeper recipe and I cannot wait to plant next spring, so the weather Gods better be nice next year.

Those sunrise photos are majestic! It simply amazes me of the work that God does to show himself. I love the organizer for the lids and sheet pans. I try to never let my cabinets get to the point of items falling out, but there are times that my cookware cabinet gets that way.

Glorious sunrise Rays and all. GOD's gift to us early risers. Yes, I have cupboards where things fall out, annoying. I have a stash behind the stove to clean up that has fallen back there. All those little annoying plastic containers I save, and the lids...Lovely gift those crochet hooks, you will like them I think. I do mine. Nice size for the hands, and if you need the light there it is. Crochet on girl!
Thanks Carol, the sky was so beautiful. It would help me if two others in this house put dishes away right, lol! They complain, but they are the problem too. We'll see how long it takes for them to even notice it ha ha!
Faith, I can't wait to try those crochet hooks out. They look pretty nice too.

Pink sky at dawning is sailor's warning as they used to say. It is reflecting clouds to the west which usually means rain or precipitation of some kind.
Let me know how you like those light up crochet hooks! They look awesome!

Beautiful sunrise photos. I'm so glad you've been busy and getting back on track, you've done a lot.

I love watching the sunrise, those photos are so nice. Here though, it starts quick and ends even quicker! I have to be up at just the right time to catch the beauty of it! The waffles look yummy!

Why is it that the junky cabinet always has plastic containers? Mine too. It looks so nice when you organize it, only to have daily wear and tear to make it messy again at the end of the week.
Thanks Sam I Am, I'll be sure to update on the hooks
Rain, I just happened to take Romeo out at the right time to see that sky. It was gone pretty fast.
J.L. Murphey, I sure hope the cabinet stays organized.

Kristina, The only way it will stay organized if you put away the containers yourself.
J.L. Murphey, that is for sure.

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 . . .
