I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend. We had some excitement going on here so to speak. First the power went out for several hours, along with an internet outage. They could not locate the cause, or at the point of powering back on, did not disclose why they both went out of service. It was a good spectrum of an area to lose both services.
Secondly, we had to cancel our weekend plans. My husband was on the forced overtime list at work. He worked the entire Easter weekend. Hence the unfinished home repairs.
Thirdly, two very suspicious looking people landed on our front porch. No vehicle, no cell phone (according to them), and their story was that they were "left by the side of the road" and wanted to use my cell phone or call for a ride etc. They also said they were from another state, and not from around here. I was not about to do that, so I shut and locked the door, and called the Sheriff. Mind you, we live in the country, so we have prepared for such situations.
I in the meantime, had prepared a new breakfast, and it involved green beans.
My husband told me that it's because I prepared a "weird" breakfast, that "weird" stuff happened. I have promised not to put green beans in our breakfast, ha ha!
I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom.
The weather . . .
It's pouring down rain, we are to have rain for a few more days. Mostly 40-50 degree days. Possible snow mid-week. Possibly a sunny 70 degree Sunday. Weather is all over the map again.
Right now I am . . .
Filling a diffuser with water and lemon essential oil. The air in the house is super dry this winter. I also got out our smaller humidifier.
Thinking and pondering . . .
To garden at all this year, or not to garden. We are still on the fence with giving the soil a rest this year.
To blog or not to blog. I love to write it, but lately I feel it's monotonous and time consuming. Most of my posts, after so many years of writing, have almost zero comments, so hence monotonous (and boring?).
Blogger continues to have issues, and the photo loader is once again not working.
The flower beds definitely need some upkeep work done.
I have lost my mojo to do interior house painting. I'm a bit burned out from that job. It's getting a rest for now.
I wrote down 3 things to do in the gardens on good weather days. One has been crossed off the list now.
How I am feeling . . .
Tired, but ready to tackle the week ahead. Due to an extra trip to town, I got a head start on my "to-do" list for the week.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Well, it's not green beans (ha ha!). I have no idea just yet.
Breakfast enchiladas went into the oven. I used a spinach tortilla. Kroger has the ones we like with lots of veggies and non-gmo, when I don't want to make them myself.
On the menu . . .
-soup beans, homemade cornbread, maybe a salad too
-not sure on the rest of the week just yet.
On the reading pile . . .
The back of the book. . .
On the TV . . .
It's been difficult to find anything worth watching.
Looking around the house . . .
Windows look great! I am a firm believer of a homemade window cleaner recipe I found online (link). It did a fantastic job. It's rubbing alcohol, white vinegar, arrowroot powder, and distilled water.
On the to-do list . . .
-start sorting more yarn, scraps from donations
I need to put together our newest (second) mole-chasing windmill. It's the perfect time to get the grounding rod in the ground (while the rain has softened the soil).
For the week:
(still on the list)
-wash upstairs windows
From the camera . . .
What I am crocheting . . .
Devotionals, Bible Verses, Prayers . . .
I do not have any prayer requests this week.
