Happy Homemaker Monday

It was about time we were blessed with an entire weekend rest, relax, and rejuvenate. 

My camper ornaments have been delivered and are for sale in a store on our favorite island.  I'm creating another new items she is interested in.  I'm praying I have time to work on them, and get the painting done, garden kept up, and so forth.

We are not the only ones dealing with a busy schedule.  Our friends on the island could not meet up with us due to a very busy work schedule.  We did stop and visit with another friend we have other there though.

My new smaller tiller finally arrived so garden work, while my husband is back to long hours, is much easier on me.


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

The weather . . .
85°F/66°F, scattered thunderstorms, windy


As I look outside my window . . . 
It's still dark out.

Right now I am . . .
Sipping coffee, trying to wake up.


Thinking and pondering . . .
Too early for that, ha ha!


How I am feeling . . .
Sad.  Sad we have to be back on the mainland with my husband back to long days, but I do have a lot to keep me busy, and the younger two girls come and go with visits.


On the breakfast plate . . .
Egg/sausage/cheese muffin, organic coffee


On my reading pile . . .
Picked up a new book.  I am pretty sure it will be a fast read, so I'm putting this first before I finish my current book.



On my TV this week . . .
Whatever looks good.


On the menu . . .
-chicken teriyaki, homemade teriyaki sauce
-Rueben's, but most likely will be next week
-grilled brats, side veggie


Looking around the house . . .
I have to make a trip upstairs and try and juggle working up there as well.  I need to (still have not) make room for the treadmill.  Next flooring project is the living room/kitchen bathroom.


On the to-do list . . .
-water and till in garden
-paint another drawer
-tidy up kitchen where I can
-water flower pots
-laundry
-vacuum
-dust
-water house plants
-check emails (getting so bad at this)
-start working on the back patio


From the camera . . .



Devotional/Prayers . . .
No special requests right now.

Glad you got to enjoy some time on the Island. would love to see pictures of the ornaments you are making for the Island shop.
Have a great (busy!) week
Luludou, if you go to my June 8th post, I have a picture posted there of the new item, as for the ornaments I will have to see what day I posted them. I know it was recent.

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 . . .
