Good morning everyone, welcome back. I hope this post finds you all doing well.
I've been a bit all over the place the past week, didn't even get to do many daily posts, shame on me Hahah
I know I haven't been around to visit your entries in a few weeks, apologies for that, I will be visiting today and will be sure to leave a comment. Thank you again to all of you who consistently join in, I do appreciate you and do read all the comments.
Anyway, let's get on with our post. We are practically halfway through June already, how is that possible? I feel like I haven't really been able to enjoy this month yet and it's already quickly heading to the end.
Right, let's see what is happening around our homes. Have a very blessed week, sweet ladies ♥
The weather:::
A bit hot for my liking and we're not even in July and August yet. We've had some random storms here and there and the temps have been up and down, but the humidity is crazy and tends to make it all seem much hotter than it is.
As I look outside my window:::
There are 2 squirrels that love messing with Elliott and Kaia. They deliberately run around the roof above the bedroom, then jump down to the fence right by the bedroom windows, and run back and forth across the windowsills, or lay on top of the fence and just stare into the room, sending these two furry babies into a fit. It's quite funny to see. That's what is happening at the moment, and here is one of the culprits.

Right now I am:::
Sitting in bed and working on this post. I am also watching a crochet and knitting podcast on the TV. Love seeing all the projects people are busy with.
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip):::
I make a lot of homemade pita and naan bread, and when I saw this handy graphic on Pinterest, I knew I had to share it with you all as well.
Thinking and pondering:::
Curt is going through his VA Disability process at the moment, and if you know, you KNOW. It's a lot of paperwork, appointments, exams and so forth. So that has been on my mind. He's had one medical appointment already, and has another today, plus two more next week.

On my bedside table:::
AC control, water, tv remote, empty cup of coffee.
On my tv:::
Homemaking vlogs
Book vlogs
This doesn't seem to change from week to week. I debated removing this category, but there are times when something different pops up, so I'll keep it.
Listening to:::

What I am sewing, crocheting, knitting or creating:::
As predicted, I got bored with the granny squares, so I'm taking the ones I already have, and will make them into a small table runner, or mat for the kitchen. I will be taking the same yarn, and will be making instead a small throw.
My simple pleasure:::
Researching and learning history. I love digging into different eras, learning everything about it from what the people dressed like, what they ate, where they were, how they lived and so on.
Looking around the house:::
It is actually tidy and not needing any picking up today. It's one of those Monday mornings where I won't need to do much home wise.
From the camera:::
I have been reading a lot of books that are older, or have that old feeling to them. As much as I love reading, I have quickly discovered that I really don't care for the newer authors and genres. I am not interested in romantic fantasy, I am not interested in female main characters that are rude, stronger than the men and always made out to be smarter and better. I don't like that at all.
I love books about simple beautiful love stories, older days, beautiful settings in England, Ireland or Scotland, books about the civil war, books taking place during the West Expansion, life on the Prairie, things like that.
Bible verse, Devotional:::
"Don't
let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example
for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." - 1 Timothy 4:12

The squirrels here have terrorized our birds! One of them broke one of our feeders. Our blue bird are onto them though and when they try to get on the new feeder they attack them viciously, so I haven't seen them hanging around lately lol!
Thank you as always for hosting!
