{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 10/07/2024 }

Good morning, welcome back :)

I hope you've all had a good weekend, and I wish you all a very blessed week ahead.  I don't have much to ramble on about today, so I thought it best to just say hello and get right on with our post. 

 

 

 

*** The weather in my neck of the woods*** 

Still staying in the 90s, and though I wish it was lower temperatures, I will take these over triple digits.  

 

Monday - Sunny, 90

Tuesday - Sunny, 92

Wednesday - Sunny, 93

Thursday - Mostly Sunny, 95

Friday - Mostly Sunny, 94

Saturday - Sunny, 97 

Sunday - Sunny, 95

 

 

 *** Things that make me happy ***

Books....reading, browsing, sitting at the library surrounded by them. 

I do have a Kindle and do read on it sometimes, but nothing beats a physical book for me.

 

 

*** Book I'm reading *** 

Finished both The Apothecary's Daughter by Julie Klassen and Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson. Also finished the second book in the Rae Carson Trilogy, so the second book after Walk on Earth a Stranger, and am well into the third and last.  Took this weekend off to catch up on my reading, and I can't tell you how much I love just sitting down on a quiet afternoon, with a hot cup of tea and reading a good book.

So, at the moment, I'm reading Into the Bright Unknown by Rae Carson.

Also, still in Joshua in the Bible.

 

 

*** What's on my tv today *** 

Vlogtober Videos on YouTube.

Christian Videos by some of my favorite prophets, on Rumble. 

 

 

*** On the breakfast plate *** 

Had a cup of coffee with 2% milk and a bowl of my fresh granola, that I prepared last night.   

 

 

*** On the lunch plate *** 

Not sure, I am not really very hungry today.  But, it will probably be a salad, a smoothie or a yogurt.     

 

 

*** On the dinner plate *** 

Baked Greek Yogurt Chicken, Basmati Rice, Zucchini in Tomato Sauce.

 

 

*** On the menu *** 

Will be starting the new meal plan on Wednesday, so as always, there are only meals until then.

*** What I am creating ***

Just working on the Granny Fall Blanket, and also did a few rows on the Nordic Winter Afghan, which I am trying really hard to finish as soon as possible.

 

*** No words needed (favorite photo or picture) *** 

I've been looking back on my blog, quite a lot this past week.  I love going back in time and reading my posts, seeing what we were doing.  I came across this gorgeous photo of my Yarn Along, when I was working on making my first Blooming Pillow ♥    

 

 

 

 

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 

My prayers are still very much focused on the devastation from Hurricane Helene, but now also adding in Hurricane Milton which is on track to hit Florida again by Wednesday.  Please pray!
