The first thing I did Monday morning, was check on the asparagus and my rhubarb. My medicinal plants are doing great. I am really hoping my wild mullein comes back too. I have burdock just about everywhere this year already.

Happy Homemaker Monday
We had another fantastic weekend (birthdays/Mother's Day) getaway. Why not. We are doing much more travel this year. We went to Amish country. We really didn't have anything in mind, other than re-stock some organic/non-gmo items, pick up some cheeses, and maybe dine at the brewery. You'd think they would have a big yarn store in that area, but they do not. They do have a fabric outlet. Anyway, it was our first trip in 2 years.
The menu was changed at one of the restaurants we love to go to, and they took our favorite meal off of it.
We came home to 37°F, snow and thunder. What a messy day, but Mother's Day overall was nice. We delivered flowers, 6 bottles of wine, chocolate, and a travel tote bag to my Mom's.
Came home to gifts and flowers from the girls.
Good thing I checked the rhubarb before we left. I had to cut those blooms off. I will however, need to cover it again for the next few days, as we dip into the low 30's (ugh).
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I will link up when she posts this morning.
The weather outside is . . .

How I am feeling this morning . . .
Rejuvenated. Ready to take on the day, but will try and relax.
On the breakfast plate . . .
I have no idea yet. I need to bake something for the next few days.
On my reading pile . . .
I bought this book at the flea market over the weekend. I met the author too. It's her life story growing up and leaving Vietnam. I'll let you know if it's good or not.

From the camera . . .
Something new in Berlin. We got this for dinner one night and took it to the hotel. A local guy was in line just to buy their BBQ sauces.
Traffic is always crazy in Berlin. They don't have a light here, and so often they have an officer there to stop traffic and let people in and out.
Looking around the house . . .
One daughter actually cleaned up the living room while we were gone, but she did not do the dishes (no surprise there).
To relax this week, I will . . .
Read or crochet
Something I want to share . . .
Our hotel actually had a breakfast this time. It was not a brown bag breakfast, but biscuits and gravy, waffles, boiled eggs, etc. The only thing they didn't bring back yet, was the scrambled eggs and bacon/sausage.
Devotional, Inspirational, prayer list or Bible verse . . .
