Happy Homemaker Monday

 

The snow has not melted one iota.  In fact, there is a 6 foot pile of snow where we need to get into the garage to work on the brakes.  It's not happening any day soon, so I'll be focusing on what needs done inside this week.

In fact, I haven't made a plan to tonight's dinner.  My husband and I were so tired, we were in bed early last night.  I'll need to work on that early this morning.  He may be stuck at work tonight.  Turn around is approaching and that means lots of overtime and many hours of work.  He'll need a breakfast and lunch and extra food for late hours.  I best get on the meal plan.



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

I'll link up later.


The weather . . .

Mostly in the 20's, possibly more snow this week. 


How I am feeling this morning . . .

Tired.


On the breakfast plate . . .

Leftover french toast, blueberry sausages and scrambled eggs.  Oh and coffee.


On my reading pile . . .



On my TV . . .

Reaper.  Amazon Prime. Season 1.


On the menu this week . . .
-spaghetti, garlic bread, veggie
-meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn
-breakfast for dinner (sausage/biscuits, eggs, fried potatoes, fried apples)


From the camera . . .

Sorry for the bad photo, but you can see how cute the first round of the border is on the baby blanket.  I have 2 more rounds to go.


Looking around the house . . .

What a hot mess.  We spent all weekend going back and forth to the hospital, and back home to take care of animals.  We didn't get the chance to clean anything up, or even do any house chores.  


To-do list . . .
-Clean out fridge, take trash out
-do dishes
-pay any bills
-figure out dinner

Prayers . . .

Mom.  She is still in the hospital.

What a pretty blanket..I love pastel colours
My to do list this week is to concentrate on getting our veggie garden up and running...which will be a huge learning curve for me... the climate here in So Cal is completely different to Wales... I even got a sunburn yesterday! In February!!
Great answers... and prayers to Mum

Phoebes World, I absolutely love the Leslie Meier series (that is book #1). I read her series years ago and started reading them again. Thanks for the prayers for Mom.

Sorry to hear your mom is in the hospital. Prayers for all of you. Pretty colors in the baby blanket. Hope this week is a better one for you.

The baby blanket is so pretty and looks so soft! I can't imagine your six feet of snow! Oh my goodness. We haven't gotten much this winter and it is mostly slush.

Have a great rest of your week!

Sherry, last I heard we are to get rain next. It will be a slush pile out there if we do.

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 . . .
