{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 09/05/2022 }

 

 

Good morning sweet ladies, welcome back to my blog.  Grab yourselves a cup of coffee or tea, and let's sit a bit, visit and see what we have going on around our homes, this week.

 

First, I apologize that this post is going up a little later than usual, but my sweet hubby took me to breakfast this morning.  It's something we haven't been able to do in a while, so I was very excited to go spend this time with him.  

 

Now we are back home, and ready to start the day.  He is off today, Happy Labor Day to you all, and he has spent the weekend doing outside chores, so he's doing nothing but relaxing today.  Good for him!

 

I have my usual homemaking chores to attend to, and I also want to mow my back yard, but other than that, I am also going to relax, watch some tv and continue on with my knitted dishcloth. 

 

I hope you all have a very blessed week ahead. 

♥♥ The Weather ♥♥
It's been perfect.  The temperatures have dropped, we are sticking around the low 90's, we have also had some rain here and there which has cooled things down dramatically.  Looks like we are finally leaving summer and easing into Fall.  

Monday - Sunny to partly cloudy, 93
Tuesday - Sunny, 95
Wednesday - Sunny, 96
Thursday - Sunny, 93
Friday - Sunny, 95
Saturday - Sunny, 94
Sunday - Mostly sunny, 92



♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
The grass has grown and is this beautiful lush green.  There are dewdrops as well, making it look like a blanket of diamonds was placed upon the lawn.  

 

There are two squirrels playing on the fence, and some birds chirping on a nearby tree.  

 

♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Sitting on my bed, with my laptop, working on this post, while listening to a true crime video on Youtube.

♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥
I am trying to decide if I want to start writing out the Bible, or do a journal type of entry in my pretty notebooks, where every day, I enter the date, what passage I read and whatever verse or quote from my devotionals, stuck out that day.

 

Decisions, decisions.  



♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥
I'm feeling blessed this morning.  I have my family, I have my health, I have the sweetest pets, and a beautiful home.  Have you thanked God lately for what you have?  

 


♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
Had breakfast at Denny's with my hubby.  We both had the grand slam, with eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage and pancakes.  I filled my tummy, and that is going to be my breakfast AND lunch for today.  I'm stuffed.  



♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥
See previous post......I don't think I'll be having anything, as I'm quite full and had a big breakfast.

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥
The living room needs tidying.  Kaia got hold of an empty toilet roll and tore it to pieces, while we were at breakfast.  

 

I need to open curtains and windows, also need to vacuum.  The rest of the house is clean and tidy.

♥♥ From the camera ♥♥
My husband and son were doing yard work on Saturday, and I snapped this picture, right as Nick started the mower.  I love how it turned out.   

 

♥♥ Devotional ♥♥ 

They had to hazard theirs lives unto the death in the high places of the field, and you will not be crowned till you also have endured hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.  Therefore, "stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong."
