Happy Homemaker Monday

 

The garden is getting a good soaking this morning.  It's hot and humid. Hubby is off work today, but not much will be done outside with the heat today.

I took my wedding ring in to have the prongs checked.  I cannot find my paperwork, so they are working on that.   I mean it's tough trying to find us in their system when it's been 22 1/2 years.  I just hope they can re-print our paperwork.  They said my ring looked as if it was brand new and complimented me on it.  One more thing off the to-do list.



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

Ugh.  I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but I will be glad when the kids move out and my house stays "guest" friendly.

I understand about the kids! Mine are now gone but when they come by for a weekend, .... so much to do afterwards.
Thyme is looking good
Had my wedding ring checked 2 summrs ago... cost me a few $$ to have it cleaned and 2 prongs to repair. I never take it off, been 31 years now.

Your thyme plant is pretty! I don't want my kids to move out because then I know the blame for the mess will be all on me, LOL! Hope you have a great week!
Luludou, one of my kids that still lives here is a terrible housekeeper. I hope the jewelry store finds my paperwork. If I have it, repairs are covered.
Jean, thanks. I couldn't believe the size of the thyme leaves.

It is hot and humid here too. I cannot stand humidity! That thyme is remarkable! I have regular old thyme myself :) I love it on sandwiches for some reason!

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 . . .
