Good
morning everyone, come on in and have a sit with me. Let's get ready for our Happy Homemaker Monday and the week ahead. How was your weekend?
We had a very rainy Saturday, followed by a slow quiet Sunday. I spent most of my Sunday in the kitchen making some things for Jasmine's work. They are having a potluck on Tuesday and she of course, asked me to make some Portuguese and South African goodies. Yesterday I made Koeksisters, the recipe is on the food blog. Today I'll be making Meat Rissois, a meat bread and Toucinho do Ceu, a delicious pudding like cake with coconut. All the recipes are on the food blog, but I'll leave the links here for you as well.
I have a busy kitchen day ahead, but I love cooking so it makes me happy.
I hope you all have a wonderful blessed week ahead.
The weather in my neck of the woods:::
I don't know what our weather is doing, think it's the last hoorah before Spring temperatures kick in. It's a bit all over the place. I'm fine with these temperatures, the only thing I don't like is the windy days because they absolutely destroy me with the allergies. It's awful!
Monday - Abundant sunshine, 79
Tuesday - Sunny, 85
Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 81
Thursday - Partly cloudy, 84
Friday - Sunny, 77
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 65
Sunday - Sunny, 70
As I look outside my window:::
The sun is coming up, I see some birds flying around and chirping really loudly, as well as a squirrel running back and forth from the tree, to my window sill and so forth.

Right now I am:::
Sitting in bed while typing up this post and watching one of my favorite Brazilian YouTuber.
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip):::
I know some of you are still dealing with very cold weather, so here's a sweet ambience video for you to feel Spring at your fingertips. I love these types of videos, I leave them playing on my telly as I go about my day.
Thinking and pondering:::
Nothing in particular, just a running to do list in my head that I need to get on paper so I don't forget.

On my bedside table:::
My book, water bottle, flower vase and my empty cup of coffee.
On my tv:::
Last night's When Calls the Heart
Homemaking vlogs
Book vlogs
House of David on Amazon Prime
Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice
Listening to:::
Television in the background.
Birds loudly chirping outside my window.
The low hum of the heater in my bedroom.

On my to do list:::
Change Bed linens
Water plants
Daily Bible reading and daily decree
Crochet
What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
I've set aside the Nordic Afghan. I am a bit of a seasonal crocheter, so don't really want the winter afghan on me, because I'm really wanting Spring to arrive. So, I've pulled out my Cosmic CAL to continue. I love it so much, it makes me smile.
My simple pleasure:::
Crocheting, it relaxes me like nothing else.
Looking around the house:::
The house is clean and tidy, thankfully, because I need to concentrate on cooking and baking today and not cleaning anything. I do need to vacuum and dust, but those are quick tasks that I can get done early this morning and get them out of the way.
From the camera:::
It's warm enough that I can start drying my clothes outdoors. I always love seeing my Cath Kidston tablecloth hanging on the line. ♥
Prayer List:::
Oh my goodness. I don't even know where to start, I'll just say that there are so many on my list. I have actually decided to do a week hiatus from social media, because my soul can't take all the bad things going on. The biggest prayer at the moment is for all the Christians in Syria who are being murdered, entire villages and families, women and children just being massacred. It's heartbreaking! Please pray for them.
