Happy Homemaker Monday

We hit 60°F on Sunday.  Although the day started out with rain, it quit and we got the chicken coop mucked.  Boy oh boy did it need it too.  The ladies are happy.  I had to shovel a snow drift to get the wheelbarrow through, but it's all nice and clean for now.  The rain and temperature did not melt all of our snow.

It was such a busy weekend, that much of the inside work was delayed, but that's okay.  It'll be a busy day inside today.

Welcome March!  February was just cold, cold, cold.


Makes me smile!  My garden seeds are starting to sprout!  Without a green house, I am unable to start all of what I plant, but it's a great start this year.


Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.


The weather outside is . . .

38°F/18°F, cold mostly all week, but next week it warms back up for us.


How I am feeling this morning . . .

Rested.  Sunday I was wide awake at 4am (for no reason at all).


On the breakfast plate . . .

Cheesy Pepper Sausage and Asparagus Breakfast Bake

(online, SmallTownWoman) I just changed the cheeses to what I had on hand.  I used green bell vs. red bell pepper (what I got from the garden last summer), and I added greens to it.  I used half of my last bag of frozen asparagus.  I'll be getting some in the garden come May.


On my reading pile . . .

As the Earth Turns (haven't really been in the mood to read a lot, as the weather is nicer, so hence outside more often).


On my TV . . .

Netflix - Queen South


On menu this week . . .

-Tacos, using home canned taco sauce

-BBQ (home canned) Turkey Cutlets, wild rice, green beans

-Homemade pizza with home canned pizza sauce and green peppers we froze from the garden

-Either cod or flounder, veggie (haven't decided), home canned corn relish

-Breakfast - Cheesy Pepper Sausage and Asparagus Breakfast Casserole

-Snacks - Fruit Muffins of some sort, maybe using some strawberries we froze


From the camera this week . . .


In about a week our days will be longer again.  More sunshine is definitely what we need too.


Looking around the house . . .

We finally delivered 5 boxes of crafting doo-dads to Daughter T.  She is excited and basically a craft nut like me.  I have a few more boxes that are slightly filled at this point, but house is looking better.


To relax this week I will . . .

Crochet, maybe read


Something I want to share . . .

Random Acts of Kindness (cont):

11.  Out of the blue, send flowers to a friend

12. Say "please" and "thank you" and really mean it

13. Don't interrupt when someone is explaining to you

14. Offer to babysit for a single Mom

15. Put your shopping car back in it's place


Devotional, Inspirational quote, Prayers or Bible Verse . . .

Prayers for extended family in KY (C and S), they had to abandon their home due to flooding.

The breakfast casserole looks so good! I too change things around with what I have when I make a casserole like that.
Things out of the house are a GOOD thing! I too am decluttering now that we are empty nesters.

Have a great week

The breakfast casserole looks delicious. With a salad it could be dinner too.

The breakfast bake looks delicious, yummy! Your seed 'sprouts' made me smile, we are just starting to sow a few into pots. A little early for outside here.
Jodi, I'll post a handiwork post soon.
mamasmercantile, same here with outside weather. I start the seeds inside and plant outside in May after the last chance of frost.
Sandra said…
Good morning Kristina. Hope you're staying warm with those temperatures. Ours are finally moving away from the cold and we are looking at a week of 60s and 70s, continuing next week.

Yay for Spring.

I'm starting my seeds inside now but we've been getting the garden area set up. Can't wait to see it growing.

Have a wonderful week.
xoxoxo
Sandra, I still need to build some raised beds, but looking forward to a better year this year overall.
Jean said…
I'm all for spring, summer, and more sunshine but I do wish they'd leave daylight savings alone. I so prefer light in my early mornings. Hope you are having a wonderful week so far!
YAY for decluttering - always a winner in my book! and YAY for springing forward! Hope you're having a GREAT week.
Thank you Jean, we are warming up.
thanks threesidesofcrazy, we are starting to get warmer weather

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 . . .
