{ Blog 365 #107 - Happy Homemaker Monday - 04/17/2023 }

 

Good morning sweet friends, and welcome to another Happy Homemaker Monday. 

 

I sure hope this day finds you doing well.  My weekend was busy, again, so I feel like I didn't really have a weekend and have just merged from one week, to the next. Oh well. 

 

Let's get right on with our post. Wishing you all a very blessed week! Sandra

As I look outside my window::: 

Sun is shining, and so far, not a single cloud in the sky yet. There are grackles in my back yard, and a squirrel just went scurrying across the back fence. 

 

 

Right now I am::: 

Just finished having my breakfast, and am working on this post. 

 

 

Thinking and pondering::: 

The chickens are big enough now, to be moved outside. We are finishing work on their coop, and making sure it is safe proof from any predators. It's a strange feeling knowing that they're going outside soon, makes me want to keep them inside forever.Hahahah 

 

 

On my bedside table::: 

Cup of hot coffee, my phone, and a water bottle. 

 

 

On my tv this week::: 

Portuguese Soaps - Para Sempre and Flor Sem Tempo 

Homemaking Vlogs on Youtube 

Star Trek Picard 

The Ark 

More International Period Dramas 

 

This weekend I watched Bauhaus, which was only 2 episodes.  Really good though, I enjoyed it.  I wasn't familiar with the Bauhaus history and why it was so controversial, so this show was pretty interesting.  If you want to know more about the history of the Bauhaus, read here, or you can watch the show here.

 

Listening to::: 

The chickies in the office, they're running back and forth in their little coop, playing Also have the sound of the turtle tank filter, it sounds like a waterfall. 

 

 

On the lunch plate::: 

Not sure, I am craving McDonald's fries for some reason, so we may do that for lunch. 

 

 

On the dinner plate::: 

Swedish Meatballs, Mashed potatoes, Broccoli and Cauliflower in Cheese sauce.

On my reading pile:::

Bible 

The Secret Garden 

 

The same books, still waiting. I really wish I could get my reading mojo back, it's frustrating to love reading so much, but not doing it. 

 

 

On my to do list:::

 Finally starting my seeds today, I am so late this year. 

 

 

Plans for this week::: 

Taking Nick to get his driver's permit 

Start Spring Cleaning 

 

 

What I am creating::: 

Chicken coop 

 

 

My simple pleasure::: 

Sitting out on the patio, drinking coffee, first thing in the morning. 

 

 

Looking around the house::: 

I need to carpet clean and vacuum, both the living room and the dining room. There is a pile of clean laundry on the dining table that needs putting away, I'm in the middle of doing laundry and have just been folding and placing it on the table, to be moved after. 

 

 

From the camera::: 

Homemaking, where I am the happiest.
