Be sure to join us and link up with
Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom for Happy homemaker Monday

and with Laura at I’m an Organizing Junkie for Menu Plan Monday.

GOOD MORNING I hope you had a WONDERFUL Easter celebration full of family and friends. We had a quiet day with a wonderful meal if I do say so myself 😀 I’m also off and running early this morning so am moving right into it.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING We had 2 glorious days last week that were extremely warm for this time of day and then it turned cool again, but this week looks like it’s going to be really nice and sunny too, perfect for the fence repairs and new garden frame building 😀 We have to return the old cable equipment today, run some errands and pick up more wood and parts for the fence so I’m wearing jeans and a comfy t-shirt with pops.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE Mixed berry yogurt, a banana and hot water

AS I LOOK AROUND THE HOUSE/WEEKLY TO DO LIST & HOUSE PROJECTS/CRAFT BASKET/APPOINTMENTS

  • LAUNDRY… sheets and towels
  • LIVING AREAS… needs a bit of tidying up
  • KITCHEN… is like laundry and there is always something to do 😀
  • YARD… finally getting the weeds under control with this longer stretch of sunny weather we’ve had and hubby is making good progress on the fence.
  • BLOG… trying to organize some older trip posts before we start taking more 😀
  • CRAFTS/PROJECTS… I have the parts for making some wool ball Christmas garland that I want to get started on even though it’s only April – Christmas will be here before you know it if I don’t get it done.
  • APPOINTMENTS… hubby has one Thursday, but I get the week off other than errands 😀
  • TO DO… same old same old daily chores and food prep

I’M READING Wild Irish Rose, The Merriams Book 1, by Ava Miles

WHAT IS ON THE DVR, I LIKE OR ON THE LIST TO WATCH We switched cable services around here so this is a serious work in progress category!

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA There is a pond just one street over that is a favorite to migrating geese and even some that seem to have made it a year round home.  There is one couple I call “Fred and Ethel”.  Fred has been hanging out on the actual road near the edge of the pond for several weeks now and I decided Ethel must have her nest very close to that edge.  A couple days ago I was rewarded to see Fred and Ethel with 5 new little ones in tow crossing the road.  They actually let me get close enough to take a few pictures. 😀

Hi sweet Tamy!

Oh I love seeing Fred and Ethel’s darling little brood 😉 Made my heart smile! And your food always looks so good – I literally drooled looking at that tart and the grilled pork chops. Raspberry BBQ sauce? sign me up! Lol I hope you have a great rest of the week and that you’re staying busy in only good happy ways. Blessings xoxo

Thank you! Aren’t they just adorable? And they made their appearance just in time for Easter! I hope you have a WONDERFUL week too my friend.

Sandra

Love the geese, they are beautiful 🙂 I don’t have cable or dish, but I use my Firestick and still have a favorites list with all my shows and that in itself is a chore. Good luck with that my friend.

Have a wonderful week!!!

QuiltLady

We wouldn’t have it either, but it’s for my mom. Personally, my fire stick is enough for me! You have a GREAT week too.

QuiltLady

As soon as I get some of it done I’ll be sure to post a picture, in the mean time I will try to get a picture of all the parts ready for next week’s post. Have a GREAT week too. 😀

Shellie

Glad you had a quiet weekend! However sounds like you had a busy morning! Hope you got all you needed done in time for some rest this afternoon! The picture of Fred and Ethel and Thierry brood was simply precious! I hope you have a blessed week! I enjoyed stopping by!

QuiltLady

WOW was it a busy day! I did get 90% done and will finish tomorrow 😀 I was so pleased that Fred & Ethel timed their appearance for Easter! Have a GREAT week.

Rebecca Knox

Greetings, Sweet Friend! Enjoyed reading your post! As always your food pictures are absolutely beautiful and I love the healthy lifestyle tips and spoiler alert! Blessings for a great week ahead! <3

You have nice geese. We have two that live in the little lake we live on and they are downright evil. The male will even try to charge hubby’s car when we drive by. No nest in sight, just mean. On the other hand we have some really cool ducks who trust everyone here enough they will walk right up with their ducklings.

Good luck resetting the new DVR, that is always such a chore.

Have a great week.

QuiltLady

So sorry your geese are evil 😀 Fred and Ethel have bee so sweet and I really enjoy watching them, especially now with their 5 little furry ones 😀 Have a GREAT week too.

Schotzy

You are always so organized.. it makes me want to get up and do something… I hope it won’t be too much though… I could go do a bit of laundry! Have a blessed week!!!

QuiltLady

Thank you! Must be the Virgo in me – I’m a list maker too so that helps with the organization! 🙂 I hope you have a Blessed week too.
