Beautiful Sunrises and Tidbits

 


Two different sunrises from last week.

Our tiny town library is having a book sale.  Wow, they have a lot for sale this time.  However, after my big purge, I will not be going.  I love book sales too.  They are something fun to do for a day.  Nope.  Not this gal.  Maybe if there was a specific book I was looking for, but for now will stay away, ha ha!

I spent the day cleaning and forgot that I needed a breakfast baked.  We don't lack leftovers for dinner, but we have nothing for breakfast per say.  I have eggs, but will see about whipping something up today.

We are to get up to close to 80°F today.  Can you believe that?  No, I am not cleaning flower beds or the garden just yet, but hope to enjoy some porch time today.

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.
