I also shared some of our bell pepper breakfast ideas with the kids, and by golly, I need to make these again soon. I miss the stuffed ones for breakfast too. Here I was telling my husband, we should take a year off from the garden and let it (and us) rest, but I miss those fresh bell peppers. We could always hunt down a produce stand, but even people we know who have a stand, spray their garden.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
I'll link up when she posts.
The weather . . .
It's still cold today, but we are to warm up this week for a bit, then cool back down again.
Right now I am . . .
Sipping coffee and posting this.
Thinking and pondering . . .
We've been discussing foods we only eat when the garden is producing fresh goodies. I sure do miss roasted beets with onion, and rosemary and thyme from the herb garden. I will be checking prices on organic beets in the store. We are also missing my spiced pickled beets. We are out of them.
How I am feeling . . .
Tired. We do not like the time change, and we had to "spring" forward Sunday. It's an adjustment for sure. On a good note, we are back to longer days and later sunsets, and in time for our spring gardening work soon.
Since I met two fitness goals earlier in the year, I have come up with two more.
I am back to making weekly nettle tea infusions. I have not been making them in the winter, but with the warmer days, my allergies act up, and it's great for allergies. As a bonus, it's great for my hair and nails.
On the breakfast plate . . .
. . .to be decided on yet.
On the menu . . .
-grill burgers with home canned condiments, sweet potato "fries"
-homemade pizza with chickpea crusts
On the reading pile . . .
On the TV this week . . .
Not much. We mostly listened to music.
Looking around the house . . .
It's pretty tidy, other than a box of books to donate, and some of my leftover yarn to deal with. I'm actually making up a plan to distribute my books in a few free little libraries. The one free little library that I went to recently, is very full right now.
I also started to purge the office. It's a slower process, as I am still working on the hallway painting, and of course have regular chores, and cooking from scratch (that is time consuming). Not to mention, we all need to make sure we take time for ourselves in each day.
On the to-do list . . .
-dinner prep
-catch up on any laundry
-dishes
-sweep/mop any floors
-finish cleaning one bathroom
From the camera . . .
If you missed my post, READ HERE to see what I took pictures of, that is growing around here. In the above photo, are my chives growing up in the herb garden.
What I am crocheting . . .
I'm still crocheting this large blanket (photo from last week). My goal is to finish it before the end of March.
Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verse . . .
No current prayer requests.
