Cold and Snow

Our weather went quickly from reading on the porch at 60°F to curling up under a blanket, and in the 30's.  This morning it's actually 19°F.  We also have snow on the ground.  Not much, but more is coming.


Mornings are now back to dark and dreary.  Typical winter weather.

Deep Clean Progress . . . 
I seem to never run out of something on this list.  We have white painted kitchen cabinets and cupboards (and drawers), so I have been wiping them all down.  I'll finish them up today, and start on wiping down the tops of our floor wall heaters that have collected dust.

I find the "deep" cleaning very slow especially because you still have to do daily chores which take up a lot of time if you want to stay on top of things. But I can see progress and that's all that counts! Good for you! You go girl! Enjoy the coziness!
I agree Sam I Am, there is so many regular things that need done, so I try and carve out an hour or less of deep cleaning, but it seems to take forever.

That's a huge drop in temperature! A good day for staying inside and doing some handwork.

Welcome to winter time! You certainly have a wide fluctuation in your temperatures. Don't know if my body thermostat could handle that!

When we remodeled this place, I got white kitchen cabinets which I had always wanted. Big mistake. They were always dingy and smudged looking and I spent way too much time trying to keep them looking nice. When we added on and remodeled for the second time, I took the doors and drawer fronts off, painted the remaining cabinet structures yellow and add knotty pine custom made fronts. Best idea I ever had!
Thanks Leigh, and some deep cleaning too.
Mama Pea, it is a chore to clean them for sure.

We have rain and storms headed our way in south central NC this evening and tomorrow, but only snow, maybe...in the NC mountains 100+ miles away. Heavy rains here can cause flooding in low lying roads, in the mountains - slides on major highways. So it'll probably be fun, not.
Still dealing with the flu here. I did manage to get vegetables down today. Up til now, it's only been oranges or orange juice. This thing is really bad. Next time I can get to a dollar store and get a diary, I'm going to start keeping a daily record of how I feel, cause sister said it seems to her there's always one thing or another going on with me. So we'll see, and it's a good idea anyway, for the doctor to review on our GP visits.
Prayers everyone has a great week and for their loved ones too.
God bless.

RB, getting a diary sounds like a good idea. I try not to go to town so often anymore with so many people going to work or to the store sick anymore. It's so easy to pick up germs anywhere. I hope you feel better 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 . . .
