Beautiful sunrise this morning.
I had to frog the second cardigan sleeve. Not sure what is wrong with my brain, because I know how to crochet. I will put it off for another day and get back to it.
An odd sighting on Sunday - a man jogging down the country highway with a USA flag. A car was behind him with hazard lights on, but I couldn't read what was on the side of the car. I'll admit, I lifted my spirits to see him doing that. I would have had a photo if I had my phone in my hand, but I had a cup of coffee in my hand instead.
Daughter E came out for a visit. That was a blessing, considering my husband and Daughter K were both working. She took more of her belongings, and we chatted for a while.
I called the General Store, where I may be selling one of my items. They have not yet emailed or called me back. I know they are busy with fell festival stuff, so I may need to call again this week. Or I may stop in with the items.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. I'll link up after she posts this morning.
The weather . . .
86°/65° F, sunny
How I am feeling this morning . . .
Exhausted, but mostly because my husband worked all weekend, so I worked at the house. Not having a weekend to sleep in is exhausting.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Frittata, coffee. Lots of coffee.
On my reading pile . . .
Nothing, again oddly
On today's to-do list . . .
-laundry
-boil pinto beans for bean dip and freeze most of it
-pick peppers from the garden
-freeze more hot peppers
On my tv . . .
Whatever we find interesting on Netflix
On the menu this week . . .
-Leftover Chicken Spaghetti
-Baked walleye, veggie
-honestly, have no idea yet, ha ha!
From the camera . . .
The rain gave us more hot peppers. Maybe fire powder for Christmas gifting? I really don't want to can, but I may be canning hot pepper mustard sauce. I guess canning first. There won't be any family holiday gatherings again this year.
Looking around the house . . .
My kitchen, for once, is beautifully cleaned, tidy and a fresh breath of air.
To relax I will . . .
Crochet
Something I want to share . . .
Look what I made! Oatmeal/vanilla soap. I can add soap making to my craft show days next year. I'm so excited I tried a kit first. I think the smaller bars will be great for people who rent out homes for Airbnb or similar. Question. What is the best source to buy a goat's milk soap base? I found some on Amazon, but wondered if there is a lower priced base elsewhere?
New Recipe I tried or one I want to try. . .
I've printed this out for the next time I need it. Thought I would share.
I also tried a homemade "fritos" recipe. I adapted organic ingredients.
I want to try a smashed brussel sprout recipe soon too.
Devotional, Inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse . . .
