{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 03/21/2022 }

Good morning friends.  It is a cold and rainy day in my neck of the woods, and we are expecting some pretty strong storms later today.  Please keep everyone in the path of these storms, in prayer.  

This is the perfect day to stay indoors, but I have a few errands that I need to run first.  Aside from that, I plan on getting the house clean and then making some sweet bread.   I'm also thinking, a pot of hot tea, a good book and a slice of cake may just be what my afternoon will look like.

I am so sorry I didn't get to your Happy Homemaker Monday posts last week, but that is something I plan on doing today as well.

 

I pray you all have a wonderful blessed week.  Now, let's get right on with today's post.......

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥

It's warmed up quite nicely, matter of fact, on Saturday, Curt and I were able to get out in the back yard, do a little yard work and start making some plans for what is going in the garden, where the chicken coop will go, and so on.  Although we have strong storms coming in, I am quite thankful for the rain, which is always needed.  Rest of the week looks quite nice, except for the winds, those are just killing my allergies.

Monday - Thunderstorms, 66

Tuesday - Cloudy/wind,  53

Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 60

Thursday - Sunny, 66 

Friday - Sunny, 79

Saturday - Sunny, 76

Sunday - Mostly Sunny, 87

Cloudy skies.  There is a slight wind as well which is making the tree branches wave back and forth. It feels really good though, so I've opened my bedroom window to let in the fresh morning air.

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥ 

About spring, what is going to be planted, where, how.  We want to redo the garden area and maybe shift some things around.  Also, this is the first year we will be having chickens, and I can't tell you how excited I am for that, so there's lots to plan and think and ponder on that too.

Having a bread machine has been a huge life saver for me.  I don't buy bread as much as I used to, I mainly make our own during the week.  I love that I can just throw all the ingredients into the machine, let it run the dough cycle, and then just mold it, let it rise and bake it.  It really does help make things easier.   

♥♥ How I am feeling ♥♥ 

Run down with the allergies.  My allergy induced asthma has been awful the past week.  The winds haven't let up, and that is the biggest issue for me, since they kick up all that I'm allergic to.  I'm pretty sure I've mentioned it before, but when I tested for allergies, it turned out that I am pretty much allergic to every tree, grass and dirt that is on my property.  LOL

 

It was quite funny, Curt and I were saying, there doesn't seem to be a single tree around here that I am ok with.  It's usually not too bad as my body has become used to it somewhat, but the winds throw it all into the air, and that sets my coughing and weezing off.
