{ Blog 365 #100 - Happy Homemaker Monday - 04/10/2023 }

 

 

Good morning, everyone, how was your Easter? 

 

We had a great one with family, lots of yummy food and laughs.  I am so sore this morning, from being on my feet all day Saturday and Sunday.

 

Anyone else get the lower back pain after days like this?  It's worth it in the end, but my goodness, I'm always out of commission the day after.  

 

Anyway, we had a great time, and I have a house to put back in order today, but I'm going to take it easy, and try to rest my back as much as I can.

 

I hope you have a fantastic week, my friends.  

 

Now, let's see what everyone is up to....

  

The Weather:::
Weather is getting hot around here, which I'm thankful for, because last week, we had 90 degrees, and then freezing mornings, which ended up killing one of my Hibiscus plants. 

 
Monday - Sun and clouds mixed, 76
Tuesday - Sunny, 75
Wednesday - Sunny, 77
Thursday - Sunny, 81
Friday - Partly cloudy, 85
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 77
Sunday - Sunny, 72

As I look outside my window:::
It's currently cloudy.  Believe it or not, I actually love cloudy days, especially during hot weather.  Makes it feel not so hot, if that makes sense? 

Right now I am:::
Currently sitting on my bed, working on this post.  I finished my coffee about an hour ago, so will probably get another soon.               

Thinking and pondering:::
About our garden.  We still haven't started the seeds, we are running quite late this year, for us at least, but hopefully this week we get that going.          

On my bedside table:::
Empty cup of coffee, kleenex (thank you allergies), tv remote and my phone.

My simple pleasure:::
Starting the vegetable garden.  I love the whole process of sowing seeds, watching them grow, planting them in the ground and so forth.     

 

 
Looking around the house:::
Needs some tidying up from the family get together.  Chairs to put aways, leaves to put away, couches tidied up, and so on.  Right now it looks a bit untidy, but here shortly I will get it all put together.   

From the camera:::
Just me, going about the daily homemaking chores.
