Happy Homemaker Monday

We thankfully got rain all weekend, however it is too wet to work out there this morning.  I'll be weeding from the sides fo the flowers beds however.  




I finally found where I got my washcloth pattern.  It's from Cream of the Crop Crochet.  There are ads on the page, but I absolutely love this pattern for a washcloth.  Left is my old pattern, and the one on the right is the new pattern I found free online.




Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I will link up when she posts today.


The weather . . .

Looks like we stay in the 80's with more rain this week.


As I look outside my window . . .

Flower beds look horrible!  Full of weeds.


Right now I am . . .

Making a 2nd pot of coffee.  


Thinking and pondering . . .

Apparently we bought two different shades of corner trims (for the bathroom), so we have to return 3 pieces and pick up 4 more.  Trying to figure out if we can go do that tonight, or pay the handyman to go do it (would have to pay him for gas).


How I am feeling  . . .

Ready to get some weeds pulled.  But first the coffee...


On the breakfast plate . . .

Einkorn pancakes and blueberry sausages, coffee


What I am wearing . . .

Work jeans, tank top - weeding day.


On the reading pile . . .

Does the mail count? Ha ha!


On my TV . . .

Virgin River


On the menu . . . 

-sheet pan chicken, brussel sprouts, carrots

-have no idea on the rest yet.


Looking around the house . . .

All of the trim, other than the bathroom floor trim has left my living room.  I still need to clean off a kitchen table, and start packing up the living room for that floor repair.


To-do list . . .

-laundry
-dishes
-weed flower beds
-check tomatoes for worms, check beans
-plant indoor cilantro, parsley, and basil
-work in living room 


From the camera . . .


New sign for the kitchen.


Devotional . . .

I still haven't moved all of my "office" back, so I haven't found my devotional book yet.  I need to get that done this week.

I love the sign. It sounds as though your weeds are as bad as ours. I hate trying to keep up with them.

Good day! I am visiting from Diary of a stay at home mom. I love your sign!!!! I have been seeing a lot of people saying they are watching Virgin River. I have no idea what it is. I will check it out. :)

Carol, the weeds have been terrible this year, especially the flower beds. The vegetable garden always comes first, so they look terrible.

Chrissy T, you will love Virgin River. We just finished it last night. Thanks, my husband picked out the sign.
