Happy Homemaker Monday

Saturday I got these two made and really spent the day on the porch after that.  It was somewhat nice out, sun was shining, and my husband and I played cards on the porch.  First day off work in 2 weeks.

Easter Sunday we finished up the rest of the feast, played more cards, and took off on the Harley and delivered my Mom an Easter meal.  My husband helped cook on Sunday. It was absolutely perfect riding weather.  Just what the both of us needed.

Instead of the usual green bean casserole, I made BBQ green beans, using home grown green beans and home canned ketchup.  So good!

Work called my husband Easter Sunday.  He, thankfully, did not answer the call.

                                                    

Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.  I will link up when she posts.  I have tons of dishes to wash, laundry to start, etc etc.

The weather outside is . . .

69°F/54°F, rain rolls in today.

How I am feeling this morning . . .

Is it possible to feel rested and exhausted at the same time?  That's me today.  Rested that I got time with my husband and had a great weekend, but exhausted from washing dishes. 

On the breakfast plate . . .

Leftover breakfast.

On my reading pile . . .

Nothing right now.

On my TV . . .

Nothing in particular.

On the menu this week . . .

-leftovers

-leftovers (maybe)

-possibly a new recipe to try 

Looking around the house . . .

I brought in more daffodils on this gloomy day.  It's definitely looking like rain today.

Well, I think it's time to make a trip to Goodwill this week.  Tired of walking around the boxes.

To relax this week I will . . .

Alone time on the porch.  Maybe crochet.  Maybe even do some journaling.

Something I want to share . . .

Oddly, nothing today.  It's been a busy week.

Prayers . . .

For House Bill 202 in Ohio to pass and quickly pass (lifts mask mandate and prevents the Gov. from mandating it ever again). Our country.

Easter Meal Prep ~ Another Cold Day

 

Friday I did some Easter meal prep . . .

Cooked bacon for crock pot BBQ green beans.

Baked carrot cake.

Made roll dough.

Made pineapple pie.  Just have to top it with whipped cream.

Guess who was up at the crack of dawn?  Me.  My husband got the weekend off, but forgot to shut off his 5:30am alarm.

Hopefully our cold weather days are done now.  We are to gradually warm up again.

Something I noticed at the grocery store - the water refill station is now open again.  They have had it closed for a year.  It's easier and cheaper to get water by the gallon in another location, but sometimes it's more convenient at the store.  So happy to see that.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend!
