Our weekend started out with a very exhausted husband. Thursday he worked 1st shift, leaving at 6:20am and returning 4:20pm-ish. We had to drive the 33 minute drive to the school for the talent show, and then home, where he barely got a nap. He returned to work (forced overtime) for the night shift, followed back to back with the day shift on Friday. Yeah, I didn't expect much to get done over the weekend.
We returned to cold weather on Friday. It rained and snowed - windy, cloudy and a low of 22°F. Brrr. I think we've learned that in our state, you won't know the weather until you wake and and check it. It changes that often anymore.
Saturday we had a high of 48° and sunny. Hubby announced he was also working Sunday.
Today it will be a high of 54° but Hubby also announced we were hosting a dinner when he got home. Hmpf.

Random Tidbits
A rainy day didn't keep me down. I had lots of indoor chores to do. I was a bit sore from outdoor work too, so a break was a bit nice. I puttered around, refilled the chili pepper, refilled homemade foaming hand soap, etc.
I made Einkorn chocolate chip cookies. Although I only had their "all-purpose" flour, and not the Whole Grain whole wheat flour, they turned out delicious. Just not as thick, but so good.
Here's what our menu has been for the week so far:
Sweet potato chili
Tacos
Breakfast for dinner - blueberry pancakes, eggs, sausage
Lima bean soup
Leftovers
The weather forecast for the weekend changed. We were so pumped to have a 60-70° day, but that has now lowered to a high of 53° and cloudy. Time will tell if we get our ride or not.
The bathroom remodel is still on hold until next week or later. The truck shopping continues. Hubby joked that he'd have a massaging seat installed for me, after giving me a shoulder rub after two days in the herb garden.
A friend has told me about a local shop that rents out space for consignment. I am a bit hesitant. The cost is a bit high, plus they take 10% commission, and 2% for credit card sales. The garden work has started, so I have less time to do handiwork, so this is on the back table for now.
Our Youngest was the MC for the school's talent show, so we went and watched that in the evening. She was hilarious too. She announced one student like a boxing match announcer would announce the boxer entering, so funny!
