Good morning, Sweet Ladies! HAPPY MONDAY! 💗
I pray that this post finds you and yours healthy, happy, and serving the Lord with gladness. How was your week and weekend? Ours was good here!
On Monday I harvested and dried herbs...chives, sage (enough to last us until spring), and basil. Monday night we got our first frost of the season.
On Tuesday I took grandson, T.J. out to lunch for his birthday and we had a ball! For lunch we chose cheese enchiladas with rice and beans; later, we enjoyed a hot fudge sundae at Dairy Queen.

On Wednesday I presented two programs on bison at the local library. The children seemed to enjoy it and I know I did! (I always do!) 💗 Here is some of the children's artwork. They colored their bison, then embellished them with real bison fur. How fun is THAT?! 😊

I took a friend to her hair appointment on Thursday, then spent the rest of the day catching up on stuff around the house.
I worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoon. Saturday I worked a special event at the Battle of Island Mound State Historic Site. It was a beautiful day, but it was so windy that, most of the day, I felt like my eyeballs were being ripped out their sockets! It was wild! The good news is...this was my last Sunday afternoon to work until April (we are closed on Sundays from November 1st through March 31). I'm so thankful and am really looking forward to spending Sunday afternoons with family and friends and just RESTING! 💗
Okay...enough about last week! On to the week at hand!
Today I'm joining Sandra and the other lovely ladies for Happy Homemaker Monday over at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Won't you join me? 💗

... enjoying breakfast and a cup of hot tea while taking a break from housework and laundry. I am also working on this post and watching morning sunlight spill across and overtake the view outside my office window. Beautiful! 💗
... that this is the second week in a row that I've had no time to post anything other than my HHM post and I guess it's got to be okay. I am hoping to find more time to post in the days ahead, but, right now, it's just not happening. I'm glad I didn't commit to a 31 Days of October challenge! 😳
On the breakfast plate...
... almond butter and homemade cherry jelly on toast and Twining's Irish Breakfast tea

The weather...
... Right now it's sunny and 44 degrees with a windchill of 40. According to the weatherman we're supposed to have a high of 66 degrees today with zero chances of rain. The week ahead looks cool with highs in the mid-50's and 60's and nights in the 40's.

Something interesting I watched this week...
... Peggy Buhr give an awesome presentation on General Order No. 11 and it was wonderful! It was told with accuracy from first-hand accounts of women who endured the tragedy of it all. I enjoyed it very much!
