Happy Homemaker Monday

 


The weekend went by fast, and was not what I had intended.  My husband, oddly after a first weekend off work, had us running around all weekend.  I was exhausted by Sunday night, and felt like we didn't get anything done at the house.  

It rained all weekend, and it's still raining.



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

I will link up when she posts.  I'm starting my day early to get my kitchen back in order.  There are paint cans everywhere, and it's in disarray.


The weather. . .

Rain!  Lots of rain!  Now they say possible snow today.  Yes, I said snow.  Sigh.  I had to bring my rosemary plants back inside.  They will not be planted until after Mother's Day anyway, but snow???  It could be something like a snow/rain sleet mix.


As I look outside my window . . .

Dark, dreary, and raining.


Right now I am . . .

Drinking hot coffee, trying to wake up to our regular schedule around here.


Thinking and pondering . . .

Trying to decide if I want to keep my macramé supplies or donate them.  Prices are high, so I'm on the fence with this decision.  I may keep them for now.

We've been pondering about which type of electric solar fencing to get, and my husband is not taking care of that. 


How I am feeling . . .

Tired.


On my breakfast plate. . .

Leftover omelet with grits casserole and cheese.


On my lunch plate . . .

Have no idea yet.  Egg salad?


On my dinner plate . . .

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole, Veggie, Strawberry Crunch


What I am wearing . . .

Right now?  Jammies, robe and slippers until the coffee kicks in.


On my reading pile . . .


I'm still reading Atomic Habits.  I'm not getting a lot of reading time, but I do try to read each day, even if it's a page.


On my TV this week . . .

Movies on Netflix/Amazon Prime


On the menu . . .

Have no idea.  Will try and think about that today.


Looking around the house . . .

It's looking better, but I still need to gather the donation items and get them out of the house.


On the to-do list . . .

-laundry
-check on asparagus 
-complete kitchen clean up, could take all week
-work on upstairs flooring
-gather all donations and load them into the truck
-finish making lavender sachets (only 2 more to make)
-bake a dessert


My simple pleasure. . .


Popcorn made using our whirly pop stove top popper, using organic coconut oil, and fine salt.  So good for a movie binge/crochet evening.

What I am creating . . .

Lavender Sachets.  You can read my post on how to make these on my S.C.R.A.P. blogspot:  HERE




I'm still crocheting this blanket. (old photo)


From the camera . . .

I have nothing today folks.  It's been raining here for days.


Prayers . . .

Prayers for our friend Jim, who had another stroke.

Looks like you had a pretty busy and exhausting weekend. A rain y day calls for some rest.
Have a great week
Luludou, I have not rested ha ha! I am trying to get inside things in order, because I will soon be up to my eyeballs with garden work.

Oh, we have a whirly pop and haven't used it in a long time. I should see if I can talk my husband into making popcorn tonight. Thanks for the idea! Hope you have a great week.

It's crazy weather here too. Let's both try to rest some this week, lol
Jean, glad I could give you an idea. We love popcorn once in a whilte.

Joanna, I hope to get some rest time in this week. We are still trying to recover from my husband's recent work schedule.

Prayers for your dear friend. Hope you get time to rest a bit this week.
This comment is a test. I'm having trouble with my blog right now.

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 . . .
