Greetings, Dear Readers! HAPPY MONDAY! 💗
I hope you all had a lovely week and weekend. Ours ended up busier than we thought it was going to be here and there's a lot going on on all fronts. This week promises to be much the same.
We are finally getting some tomatoes out of our garden. I managed to put up a few quarts last week and there's probably more that need to be picked. Maybe I will find time to check on that before day's end.
Wednesday my husband and I ran errands (we had something like sixteen stops to make 😲 it was insane, BUT we got a lot done). While out we had lunch with our youngest son and his family. Our son made calzone and homemade pizza. The pizza was good, but the calzone was incredible! 💗
Tuesday and Thursday were spent working on projects around the house (including bringing out all the fall stuff) 😊; I had to work Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (in the afternoon).
Now, here are we back to Monday again! (I can't believe how fast these weeks fly by!) 😳 Won't you join me as I link up with Sandra of Diary of a Stay At Home Mom and all the other lovely ladies that gather there on this week's Happy Homemaker Monday? 💗

Right now I am...
... Finishing up breakfast and enjoying a cup of tea while I work on this post.
On the breakfast plate...
... cinnamon apple toast, Triple 0 vanilla yogurt, and hot tea

The weather...
... hot and humid. Right now it's 88 degrees with a heat index of 94. There is a slight breeze, which helps, but even the wind is hot. I'll be so glad when fall arrives! I am looking forward to warm days under brilliant blue skies and cool, crisp nights beside a bonfire! 🔥

... On my reading pile...
In addition to daily scripture reading I finished Your Promise of Protection - The Power of the 91st Psalm by Gloria Copeland and have started her book And Jesus Healed Them All. I am still reading On The Banks of Plum Creek by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa! Glad you stopped by! Blessings! <3
DeleteYOu and I both are thinking autumn.. decorating the home,, our blogs are so autumn-ed up.. your's is gorgeous by the way, and we are all set.. But our temps just will not cooperate.. 90's here as well.. just " boo!" Oops, It's not October, and besides I don't celebrate Halloween, so maybe I'll just say, "Bah, humbug!!!"
ReplyDeleteThanks, Schotzy, and I hear you! The weather won't cooperate here, either! BUT...it is officially still summer, so I guess I can't complain too much, but I'll sure be glad when October gets here! We don't celebrate Halloween, either (haven't for close to thirty years now, I guess), but we do use it to pass out tracts and minister to others as we have opportunity. Thanks for stopping in and I'll get over to your site as soon as I get a chance! Blessings, Sweet Lady! <3
DeleteWhew! You've been busy. That white field thistle is stunning! Hope you have a wonderful week and enjoy your weekend at the Fall Rendezvous.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jean! I want you to know that I have been trying to get over to your site and spend some time there, but just haven't made it yet. I'm anxious to find out how your plans for September are going. As soon as I can, I'll be there! Have a great week ahead! Blessings, dear friend! <3

DeleteLove the knitted pumpkin! Hard to get in the fall mood with those temperatures - I was glad to see some rain here and the temperatures drop. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pamela! I got that little pumpkin at one of the little shops up town last fall. She all sizes, colors, and shapes of them, but I liked that one. And, yes, you're right! The heat does make it hard to get in a fall mood, but I'm doing it anyway. LOL! I'm determined to have a nice, long fall season...with or without the cooperation of the weather. LOL! Have a great week ahead! <3
DeleteLook at that blanket, my goodness, it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI am also jumping straight into Fall, I'm done waiting for the temperatures to cooperate hahah
