HAPPY HOMEMAKER & MENU PLAN MONDAY week 7 of 2020

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

GOOD MORNING everyone.  I hope you had a GREAT week and an even better weekend.  Ours was good, but super weird!  We experienced a change in weather patterns every 30 minutes or so! It went from cold, gray, cloudy, windy and rainy to almost sunny and a couple of degrees warmer back to colder, gray, cloudy, even windier and rainy so you couldn’t really do anything consistently.  NASCAR did start again so we enjoyed the first race of the 2020 season.

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW & THE WEATHER OUTSIDE & WHAT I’M WEARING LOL I’m wearing levis, a long sleeve t-shirt and UGG’s, pretty much my standard uniform for this time of year.  The weather this week is about the same as last high 40’s during the day, low 30’s at night with bouts of rain, clouds and fog.

ON THE BREAKFAST PLATE Hot water, a banana and mixed berry yogurt

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

  • LAUNDRY, LIVING AREAS & KITCHEN… Laundry itself is done, vacuuming is done, but I need to deep clean the laundry room and dining room from the “ant issue” of last week.  The ants at this time of year are crazy!  They don’t come after food, but do come in from the cold through electrical outlet and baseboards anywhere they can!!
  • YARD… Hoping for a nice day or too to start cleaning out flower beds of moldy moss, but we’ll see…
  • CHORE I’M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO… LOL 😀 see any of the above!
  • APPOINTMENTS & TO DO… Hubby has several this week as do I as well as grocery shopping and errands to do.  My pedicurist had a rather bad accident and is not working for several months so I found a new one and will meet with her this week.
  • BLOG… Not much other than a few recipes set to post this week.
  • TO RELAX THIS WEEK I’LL… to me is synonymous with CRAFTS & PROJECTS… I still haven’t found the time to do anything particularly fun, but still hope to.

WHAT IS ON THE DVR, I LIKE OR ON THE LIST TO WATCH/SOMETHING INTERESTING I WATCHED We found an interesting series on Netflix called Locke & Key that we are a few episodes into.  We’re also still watching Anne with an E and V Wars, also on Netflix. There are a few cooking shows and Hallmark movies on the DVR to catch up on.

I’M READING I am deciding what to start this week.

LIFE TIP

FAVORITE PHOTO FROM THE CAMERA We took a little day trip on the one nice afternoon we had and I found this old covered bridge and barn.  One side of the barn looked like someone had tried to stabilize it at one point, but in such a way that the other side ended up sinking and tilting the entire thing!

Hey hey!
I think our weather patterns must be in cahoots, because weather here is super weird too.
That poor, poor barn.
I’m ashamed to say I haven’t ever in my life made split pea soup…any tips?
Have a great week 🙂

Hey Sweetie! You do get crazy weather! But I envy your chance for real warmth to get to work out in the yard. I will have SEVERAL months before I’ll be doing that! ☀️
I love those bridge pics. So pretty. And your inspiration. I wish you a very blessed week ahead. xoxo

Sandra

Your weather sounds like mine, 80 degrees to snow, then high 70’s yesterday and back to 30’s today. Hahahah

I do the same thing with the lemons or limes before chopping them 🙂

Have a wonderful week my friend.

Jean

Wonderful inspiration for the week. And I think we could just call that other one guidelines for manners and hand it out to everyone, regardless of age 😉 Beautiful photos. Hope you have a wonderful week!

Stacy
