Tuesday Tidbits

Monday ended up mostly a cleaning day.  Bathroom cleaned, hallway swept and mopped, dishes done, beef stroganoff put into the crock pot, carpet swept, etc.

I had some last minute garden stuff that needed to be put in storage, a dog gate moved out of the house (heathens tear it down when someone knocks on the door), and twine put away until next garden season.

My fun purchase from our weekend getaway.  The feathers on this clamored all the way home, and my husband kept rolling his eyes at me, ha ha!

It'll be a busy day.  Our mower guy didn't show up yesterday.  I hope he shows up today.  It's getting colder in our parts.

Happy Homemaker Monday

 We got away for another adventure over the weekend.  A fall foliage trip.  








The colors were absolutely gorgeous.  The weather not so good, but we still had a good time.


Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.

The weather . . .
51°/34°F

How I am feeling this morning . . .

Tired.  I didn't sleep well, with a lot on my mind, despite our weekend away.  I came home to a dirty kitchen, and it's time to do a family meeting with Daughter K about her housekeeping (lack of is a better word).


On my mind . . .

See above.  I've been up since 3am.  


On the breakfast plate . . .

Have no clue.  Egg production is down, so there is that.


Right now I am . . .

Doing dishes, getting dinner in the crock pot and getting my head together to make a to-do list.


On my reading pile . . .

Nothing.


On today's to-do list . . .

-make a plan for the rest of the week, as I have to get it together today first.


On my TV . . .

How to get away with murder - Netflix


On the menu . . .

Working on it.  


From the camera . . .

See weekend trip photos above.


Looking around the house . . .

It's a mess, but mostly due to a lazy daughter.


New recipe I tried or want to try . . .

A homemade cake recipe I want to try.


To relax this week I will . . . 

Crochet


Prayer list . . .

All the families that also recently lost loved ones.
