{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 09/26/2022 }


 
 
Good morning friends, welcome back.   How are you all doing, this last Monday of September?
 
I'm happy that we are quickly moving towards the cooler months, but, I goodness, how is it the last week of September?  
 
The past week has not been a very good one for me, my allergies have been absolutely dreadful.  I've been practically rubbing my eyes, nose, and roof of my mouth, to smithereens, taking my allergy meds, and sleeping on and off.  It's frustrating because I've not been able to get much done, hence the lack of posts since Thursday.
 
But, I'm praying that this week is better, and although the allergies are still here, they're not as horrid as they've been, so I'm hoping they go away.  Irregardless, I will be back to daily posting, which I'm excited about.
 
Hope you all have a wonderful blessed week.

♥♥ As I look outside my window ♥♥
Bright sun streaming through the windows.  Doves flying around the back yard, and the pumpkin patch littered with bright yellow blossoms.     
 


♥♥ Right now I am ♥♥
Sitting on my bed still, working on this post, and finishing the Lori Vallow documentary on Netflix. 



♥♥ Thinking and pondering ♥♥

Just planning the fall and winter garden, what I need to harvest soon, dry, and so forth. 

 

♥♥ How am I feeling ♥♥

I'm doing ok, like I said  above, still dealing with the allergies, but ok overall. 
 


♥♥ On the breakfast plate ♥♥
I've just had a cup of coffee at 6am, but will have another cup later, and not sure what I'll eat for breakfast.  Maybe oatmeal, maybe toast.      
 


♥♥ On the lunch plate ♥♥

Not sure either, but I've been loving salads lately, so may just do a salad.      



♥♥ On the dinner plate ♥♥

Crockpot Turkey Chili, Cornbread.   

 
 
♥♥ What I'm wearing ♥♥
Still in my pajamas for now, but after this post goes up, I will get dressed.  I'm probably just gonna put on a comfy dress for the day.   
 


♥♥ On my reading pile ♥♥

Reading through Isaiah in the Bible.

♥♥ On my TV this week ♥♥
The Orville - We gave up on Perfect Strangers.  Used to love it when we were young, but now it just seems kinda silly, and not as funny as it used to be.  Really enjoying The Orville, aside from the dumb jokes which seem so out of place.   
Homemaking vlogs
House of Dragons
The Lord of the Rings Series on Amazon Prime
The Serpent Queen
The Great British Bake Off

♥♥ Looking around the house ♥♥

I need to vacuum, and tidy up the living rooms.      



♥♥ To Do List ♥♥

- Clean the house, the usual daily chores
- Run downtown for an errand
- Make a Banana Cream Cake
- Start the chili in the crockpot
- Start the meal plan and grocery pickup list


 
♥♥ From the camera ♥♥
Just loving the Fall vibes going on in my home.  
 
 
 


♥♥ Devotional ♥♥ 
True faith lives on the basis of two unshakable realities - that God really does exist and that he always rewards those who seek him.

Hello! I just finished the Lori Vallow Netflix show. No words. At all. And we are also watching The British Baking Show! We absolutely love it! I think perhaps I will live across the pond someday! Enjoy the cozy, and I will send some cool breezes your way. Prayers you feel better. We are passing a cold around here. You know, because we are all about sharing! Have a cozy day!

Allergies seem to be really bad this year, even my husband who never complains about them said his were bothering him. I hope you get some relief very soon. Such a nice cozy image you shared. Hope you have a fantastic week!

I love your photo with the candles. And Sandra, I hope your allergy is more manageable this week. It's really hindering isn't it. Slowing down isn't bad though.

Keeping it short and sweet since I am so VERY late this week! I hope your week was great and the weather has cooled down as we head into October! See you in the morning.
