Garden work has started. We had a busy weekend too. We added another roost to the existing chicken coop. Plans for the new one involve using barn wood from the knocked down barn.
We replaced the bottom board in one kitchen cupboard and purged what was under it.
Installed the new wall towel rack in the smaller bathroom, installed new solar lights outside, and repaired a part on the dishwasher, and Hubby mowed all weekend.
We ended the evening by grilling burgers, and toasting the buns on the grill. We mixed in chopped garden jalapenos, garlic and onion, and topped them with homemade thousand island dressing and blue cheese (we were too exhausted to fry bacon for them). Oh so good and great way to end the day.

On the breakfast plate . . .

Looking around the house . . .
I feel so much better getting so much done. I have a good to-do list, but the kitchen will be less cluttered after cupboard repairs. I'm already making plans to get it all re-organized and purged under the kitchen sink.
To relax this week, I will . . .
If it warms up later in the week - play cards on the porch with my husband. Otherwise, before he gets off work, most likely crochet.
From the camera . . .
This morning's sunrise. The clouds sure scream weather change.
Something I want to share . . .
...because I'm an organizing nerd....how I whipped up a way to store my dish gloves. It's a GM hook and a curtain rod clip that slides onto a curtain rod to clip on curtains (tea towels etc.). I will be picking up some cheap placemats to put behind them on the door and under them to protect the wood. It felt great "shopping" from the "junk drawer."
Something else to share - early birthday present from my husband. I LOVE these!
Devotional, inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse . . .
You always share the most stunning sunrise photos. I make my Easter brunch bacon by twisting that way after I dredge it in brown sugar and cinnamon (not super healthy but definitely yummy!). Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteLook Like you have a busy week . I need to try that breakfast bake and tip.
ReplyDeleteJean, thanks. I haven't tried the sugary bacon yet as some here have to watch their sugar. I was impressed how crispy it was though.
ReplyDeleteLisa K. Thomasson Jung, it was so delicious.
ReplyDeleteI love your quote, it is so true.
ReplyDeleteDo you have a book for your homemade recipes for neosporin and lip balm and other things or is it somewhere online? Love the boots!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm bacon!! The sunrise pics are pretty!! Cute boots! Happy early bday! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteDebi, it is a good one.
ReplyDeleteChasity, I will look to see if I have the recipes on my blog. The lip balm I believe was online, but I'll check for you.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThank you Jodi
ReplyDeleteNice boots! Bacon looks even yummier that way. Looks like you got ALOT done. I'm always trying to find ways to store & organize things too. I like your idea with the gloves.
ReplyDeleteHomemade Neosporin? great!
Have a good week
Thank you Jodi
ReplyDeleteLuludou, thanks. Yes I make the healing salve because it's better and works great.
