Doing Happy Homemaker Monday so extensively helps keep me on track as it summarizes the past week and lays out a fairly concise plan for this week. Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
This past week was EXTREMELY pleasant and it looks like it will continue into this week – YAY for us here 😀 Afternoons have gotten quite warm and even a bit sticky a couple days, but all and all it has been very pleasant with a cool ocean breeze.
I’m going to be puttering around here all day so just have on some worn out Levis, a favorite old t-shirt and am barefoot. 😀
Well, we all know how this category goes for me – it’s quite boring! Hot water and Raspberry Lemonade yogurt for me.
As for how I’m feeling… mainly good, but a bit anxious by all that is going on in this world… Omicron variant COVID cases are on the rise here locally and I have a few friends who have been struck badly by it, multiple global tensions exacerbated by bad political decisions, prices and greed, lack of ethics, staffing issues, weird weather phenomena – excessive heat, floods, drought and strange storms, medical provider issues… etc … Why can’t we all just be kind to one another and look out for each other.
THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

I haven’t been reading much, so am still reading last week’s book, Heather Webber’s, In The Middle of Hickory Lane and am going to savor it as she doesn’t publish as often as I’d like.
We took the back way home the other day. I’m still looking for that perfect picture of my favorite working barn. I’ll keep trying.
And I was really surprised to see the osprey in their nests this late in the year. It’s been a late blooming kind of year.

Hello my Lovely!
Sorry a bit late. Been at the hospital a lot with my Mamabear. Thanks for the prayers and support! I’m with you about everyone being more kind. And the crazy in our world in general. I really limit my news now and I’ve been much happier! I look at the good in each day and dwell THERE.
Love your tips – that poster of them is so cute.
I hope you have a blessed week ahead xoxo
I hope mamabear is doing better each and every day! Sending you BIG HUGS! I NEVER watch the news, but every day some seems to leak through my protective shield. I too choose to live in an optimistic state as much as possible! Have a GREAT rest of the week and I hope you’re taking mamabear home real soon.
Raspberry lemonade yogurt sounds yummy! Love the inspiration, and all the food photos look oh so yummy!
Thanks! It is. I hope you’re having a good week. 😀
My garden is struggling, nothing is growing. The plants have all been slow due to the non rain, and only now I’m starting to see buds, flowers or any semblance of fruit/veggies coming to life. Late late garden start this year.
I just noticed that I have a card from you coming in the mail. You are such a sweetheart, I love you Tami. Thank you for always thinking of me ♥
Have a beautiful blessed week,
Sandra
xoxo
Even though I made sauce with my tomatoes, it’s been a super slow year. There are hopefully more to come. By now I’ve usually fed the whole neighborhood, not just made 1 batch of sauce 🙁
I hope you have aGREAT week and a WONDERFUL birthday my friend!
Home tomatoes are the best. Hope your glasses are as you want them.
Great pictures.
Have a great week!
I bought a new pair after my exam and the prescription is great, but the frames they talked me into are horrid so I’m having them remade into an old frame that I loved. They had convinced me I needed a smaller frame than I liked, but it gets in the way of my vision 😀 so I’m betting I’ll love going back to my old frames.
I think everything here (garden-wise) is about 2 weeks late and then throw in a crazy heat wave. Finally getting some tomatoes, now if they’ll just turn red. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Crossing my fingers for those red tomatoes. They were late here, but are seriously tasty 😀
