{ Blogtober 2026 - Day 19 - Happy Homemaker Monday }

Good morning everyone, welcome back to my little blog.
 
It is a cold Monday morning, very much a Fall day.  The light, the air, there is something about Fall that you can't quite pinpoint but it's a different vibe from summer, know what I mean?
 
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, and I wish you all a blessed week ahead.  I am finally going to be able to get some time to start visiting you all, leaving comments and devoting more time to blogging.  It's been crazy and I mean crazy busy around here, as summer usually is, so I am very much glad that the slower time of the year is upon us.
 
Now, let's see what is happening around our homes.  
  
 
 
*** The Weather *** 
Quite a few cold mornings but we will be in the 70s and 80s this week, as the cold front moves out.

 *** Right now I am ***
Sitting at my desk.  I am listening to a video on the TV, working on this post and trying to remember what I need to look up today or get done today.  I really should be writing this down.
 
I am sipping on my second cup of coffee, lately it's been two cups of coffee a day to keep me going, and if it were up to me, it would probably be more, but I need to control myself.       
 
 
*** Thinking and pondering *** 
Holidays.  I am wanting to start making some Christmas gifts, and also buying some.  I don't want to wait until the last minute and this year I really would like to have everything done, by the beginning of December.  Will that actually happen?  Probably not, but I will give it a good try.    
 
 
*** How I am feeling *** 
I'm feeling pretty good.  Just have a lingering congestion and a bit of a tiny cough.  My allergies have also been the worst the past two days, but aside from that, I am good.  
 
 
*** On the breakfast plate *** 
I just finished my breakfast which was some toasted Cranberry Orange Bread with butter.  I've been really bad with carbs lately and especially bread, I've been eating way too much bread and that is going to change soon, but I am trying to finish this bread that I got at Market Street.  It is so good.  I am actually going to find a recipe to make my own.  
 
 
*** On the lunch plate *** 
Not really sure.  I haven't been very hungry at lunch time lately, so we will see. 
 
 
*** On the dinner plate *** 
Slow Cooker Pork Chops, Buttered Noodles, Sauteed Mustard Greens 
 
 
*** On the menu *** 
I have to work on the new meal plan, so this is what I have left on the last meal plan.

*** What I am wearing *** 
Pajama set, pants and short sleeved shirt.  Will change into black leggings, black tank top and a checkered black and white shirt over, when I get dressed for the day.     
 
 
*** On my reading pile *** 
2 Samuel in the Bible, I am almost done with it. 
 
Finished The Familiars by Stacey Hall and will now start the first book in the Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion series.  I have put this off for a while because I'm not a huge fan of books written in diary form, but everyone talks about this series and it's an era that I love so I decided to grab the first book, and give it a go.      
 
 
 
*** On my TV this week *** 
Vlogtober on Youtube.  
Great British Bake Off on Netflix.
I am a Stalker on Netflix.
 
Turkish series. 
 
 
*** Looking around the house *** 
I need to give it a good clean today, the typical Monday morning usual.  Also want to hang some Autumn lights above the big windows in both the living room and dining room.  
 
 
*** To do list *** 
Bible and Devotional time 
Daily homemaking chores 
Water inside plants
Embroider the eyes on the crochet cat



*** What I am creating ***
Universe in Bloom Blanket by Look at What I Made.  
 
Puss in Boots by Toft Crochet.
 
 
   
*** From the camera ***  
Started putting this one together on Saturday.  I just love doing things like this, they bring me so much joy.  



   
*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 
Continuing to pray for my brother Paul as he is now 6 weeks post triple bypass surgery.  He is recovering amazingly well.
