I've created a "on the back burner" to-do list now. Sigh. It's just reality for right now. I've just accepted it. By accepting, I stress less. With the list, at least there is a future plan in place.
We have had a long week of cold nights, dry and very windy weather. It has been an issue with the garden, and now we head into very hot weather.
Today I am joining Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. I will link up later after she posts. I have to get this day started early.
The weather . . .
80's/90's with lows in the 60's
As I look outside my window . . .
No traffic, as it's a holiday and most normal people have the day off. Not my husband though.
Right now I am . . .
Listening to the weather, making coffee, and getting ready to water the garden.
Thinking and pondering . . .
Considering cutting back on how many times I write a blog post. Do you read blogs daily? Every other day? Once a week? Once a month?
I still haven't decided on a cordless stick vacuum. I haven't had time to venture out either. Gardeners would understand, as it is a busy time of year.
Listening to . . .
Radio
How I am feeling . . .
Pretty good. Just feeling a bit frustrated getting behind with the garden.
On the breakfast plate . . .
Enjoying reheated leftovers of this Mexican Breakfast Skillet. Delish!
On the reading pile . . .
I'm still reading Atomic Habits. Some parts are very interesting, and a few a bit over the top, but still enjoying it.
On my TV this week . . .
Well, not the news. We were subscribed to YouTube TV, but they raised their price. We will stick with what we can stream via our wifi for now.
On the menu . . .
-Mom's Dried Beef Casserole (using quinoa pasta), and crock pot root vegetables
-Burgers, with lettuce/tomato/home canned pickles, and roasted rosemary asparagus
-not sure on the rest
Looking around the house . . .
My one daily pick, for my extreme clean progress - two craft containers to purge.
To-do list . . .
In no particular order
-laundry
-wash bedding and put on the line
-install new toilet seat in master bath
-dishes
-clean master bathroom
-trim rose bushes
-water garden
-boil eggs
-cook a pound of breakfast sausage
-dust entire house
For the week:
-take donations and drop them off
-finish painting Kilz on upstairs larger floor
From the camera . . .
Looked like Christmas cooking onion with red pepper and home grown asparagus! I just "winged" this dinner.
I used some herbs from the herb garden, home canned tomato sauce, organic ground beef (that I pre-cooked and froze thankfully, which saved me time), and added some garlic. I topped it with cheese, and more herbs. So good! Oh, and I finally mastered at making half of what I used to make ha ha! Oh, another thing! I baked with with green lentil pasta (100% organic green lentil flour). It was pretty good. More dense of a pasta, but healthier, and didn't fall apart like chickpea pasta. The downfall? It's not sold in our stores.
