Breakfast ~ DInner
Since Hubby made me his famous breakfast omelets (this time he put both bacon and sausage in them), I had to come up with an awesome dinner.

Windy Weather and other Tidbits
I managed to get all the dirty laundry on the line, however, I did have to chase a few pieces that flew off in the high winds. Life would be boring if I did not attempt such tasks.

Garden Beauty
We left the camping spring blooms behind, and came home to some very pretty colors in the flower bed.

On the Fly ~ Playing Hookie
The weather was absolutely heavenly on Friday. Too bad for me I had to spend most of the mid-morning getting my teeth beautified. Sadly, I had to sit in the chair for almost 40 minutes, after the cleaning, to see the dentist. After they adjusted the bite on two crowns from last year, and a free oral cancer screening, they finally released me. I had high plans for a day of outdoor work, but that flew by quickly.
By the way, I kept getting told how great I brush my teeth. At one point the hygienist asked if I could come in and show folks how to brush. I give the credit to herbal teas, which help keep the mouth, and gums healthy (teas that have natural anti-bacterial properties, like thyme tea).
As soon as I arrived home, I had goats to tend, then dogs and then laundry. Hubby finished the mowing (parts that our buck does not chew down).

Thursday Handiwork
Thursday was a day for handiwork for me. Hubby took the day off to rest and recover from his sniffles, and I encouraged it. He's using the tea tree oil bath soaks, and everything else we have here.
I finished another placemat, and got some quiet porch time.

Spring Weeds Anyone?
I'm starting to feel my muscles burn, after two days of kneeling to pull grass from the herb garden and rose bed. That pile of grass all came form the oregano area of the herb garden. For the last seven years, I never had this many weeds in it. Yesterday it was a bit too chilly to have porch time, so I worked inside later. The ground is still too wet to walk in any garden, and we are to get more rain this week (and next week). I'll have to shuffle the "to-do" list again.
