LAST WEEK RECAPPED

My week was busy with pre-Spring cleaning, sorting and organizing as well as my many Eagles duties, but my weekend was kind of lazy, yet productive!

Saturday was A LOT of cleaning and laundry. We began working on power washing the back patio, patio cover and gutters. For some reason they have gotten exceptionally mossy and slimy so far this year. We even found horrible moss patches on the new roof that we’re working hard to eradicate before it gets a foothold that can’t be stopped.

I even took time to have lunch with a friend on Sunday and watch ALL the NASCAR races (which were recorded) since it was raining so much and all outside cleaning came to a stop.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE

Beware of captions that say a warm up is on the way, BUT, don’t put away the winter coats! That’s how SNOWMAGEDDON started a few years back!

Your recipes look delicious. And I totally agree with you about books! We haven’t yet got crocus or daffodils but we have a few snowdrops popping up. Fills me with hope šŸ™‚

Hello dear Tamy!
Happy new week to you. ā˜€ļø šŸ™‚
It’s funny how we do all start dreaming on Spring – but yet you’re so right. We know not to put away those winter coats. Up here especially! We’ve had a couple of mild days – but the cold and rain & snow will return soon in our forecast. But we soak up the sunbeams in the meantime when we’re able.
I always love all of your book inspirationals
And I’m intrigued about Polish coleslaw – I’ll need to check that out.
Blessings always my Friend. xoxo
