Good
morning sweet ladies, welcome back to the blog. I feel a bit weird even saying that, considering the fact that my poor blog has been so neglected, but try as a I may to get back into the rhythm of posting consistently, I just seem to fail no matter what. Anyway, it is what it is, at least for now.
It is Monday morning, another start to a week, it is also my husband's birthday week. He is turning 51 on Wednesday.
This week I hope to get a bit more gardening done. We've been slowly working on our back patio, creating a patio garden, adding some flowers and plants and just trying to make it a wonderful, comfy place to hang out during the summer. I can't wait to get out there and enjoy a cup of coffee.
I do hope to take photos and post about it. Fingers crossed I actually go through with it.
Anyway, let's get on with our post. I wish you all a very blessed week!
Sandra

Sitting at my desk and working on this post. I tried sitting in bed as I usually do when I type up our Happy Homemaker Monday, but my sciatica is not having it today.

Nothing in particular, just mainly a list of to do's, what meals to add to the new meal plan and things like that.

I have been reading along with you for a while and enjoy it.
Have a nice week.
Greetings from the Netherlands
The butterfly picture is stunning! The wildlife is pretty boring here in the middle of the city!
What are you thinking about the Book of Revelation so far?
Happy birthday to your husband!
Have a beautiful and creative day!
