Today is definitely a "happy" homemaker day. Waking up to new floors in the hall and the kitchen is a game changer. It really brightened up the house. If you didn't see the photos of the hallway progress, you can see the post HERE.
Today is the last Monday of February 2024. How will you be spending your day today? Time flies by way too fast.
We are getting a lot finished on the to-do list, and boy it feels great. No more pattern binders piled in the living room, another lap afghan finished, kitchen blinds/windows cleaned, and so forth. We still have a bit of work in the hall, but it's 98% done!
We haven't decided on the next course of action, but with spring around the corner, we may be back to working on our waist high, raised beds (a project from last spring). There is the complete garage clean out, and the drywall repair/new outlet and window project too, to think about.
I think I forgot to buy new seeds for some winter squash for this years garden, so I need to get on that before the week is over.
Also, in the process of moving the refrigerator, I realized how many printed recipes I had on the side (with magnet clips). Oh boy. They have been there for a few years. I guess I just forgot about them, and secondly, I just don't have the time to try them all. Some are tried recipes, but for the most part are recipes to try. Once again, I let them pile up. A very bad habit of mine. It's on the purge/clean list for the week.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather . . .
The sun will be out, but the rain moves in tonight. It will be warming up too.
Right now I am . . .
Brewing another pot of coffee.
Thinking and pondering . . .
I had to toss out the plastic floor mat, that was under my computer chair (in the kitchen). I'm considering replacing it to protect the flooring, but stores here do not carry the clear ones, or any for that matter, for non-carpet floors. I had to buy the last one online. My husband says we really don't need one, but the wheels do put wear and tear on the flooring.
How I am feeling . . .
Tired, but a good tired.
On the breakfast plate . . .
I'm thinking I will bake Cheddar and Chili Egg Casserole.
And blueberry link sausages.
On the lunch plate . . .
?
On the dinner plate . . .
I put about a half batch of a new recipe in the crockpot. It'll be a side for tonight's yet-to-decide dinner. I'll let you know if it's good. The original recipe calls for 5 sweet potatoes and 3 onions. Hence why I made a half batch of this. I used frozen jalapenos from last years garden.
On the menu . . .
Again, I didn't have time to plan this yet. I will work on this today. I'm going to base my menu on what's in the freezer. Stay tuned.
On my reading pile . . .
On my TV . . .
Whatever looks interesting.
Looking around the house . . .
The kitchen was swept and mopped, and everything is finally moved back in their place. We used those felt mover pads, and it worked for most of it. We'll add felt floor protectors to the legs too.
To-do List . . .
-sweep/mop the rest of the floors
-any laundry left from the weekend
From the camera . . .
Yikes! I have nothing to share today, other than my crochet projects below.
What I am crocheting . . .
I'm back to working on this blanket, while the weather is cooler, but on warmer days I am not.
Devotional, Bible Verses, Prayers. . .
Prayers for our youngest, as she is sick and the doctor was unsure of what was the cause of it is. I delivered her some homemade ginger-ale, but she is still pretty sick.

I would definitely look for a mat to protect them.
