Be sure to join us for Happy Homemaker Monday and link up
with our host, Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom
I can’t believe it’s another Monday already. Where did last week go? It was a great week – very productive in many ways. I hope it was a great week for you too!
Besides my normal list I cleaned out and sorted several desk drawers of small bits and pieces and a bedroom closet while looking for something, so it was time consuming, but productive 😀
Due to the current “climate” in the country due to COVID, wild fires etc… AND the sky rocketing gasoline and lodging prices we’re rethinking our trip for this month and instead opted for a few days at the coast to recharge and refresh in cooler temperatures for our BIG anniversary. We’ll take the other trip in September or October.
I’m jumping right in this week in hopes of this week being as productive as last.
The weekend weather wasn’t bad at all, Sunday was especially nice, but we’re inching back into triple digits this week with a little higher humidity and still have smoke in the air. 🙁
Hot water and peach yogurt
THIS WEEK’S TO DO LIST, PROJECTS & APPOINTMENTS

WHAT’S ON THE DVR/TV

I started Heather Webber’s The Lights of Sugar Berry Cove
We went to the local county fair last Friday – not bad for being thrown together last minute (they just weren’t sure they were going to do it right up until the last minute this year).
There were certainly fewer of everything – exhibits, animals, vendors…, but what was there was quite good.
One of my favorites was this 4 Her and Future Farmer of America, Sylvia and her twin goats, Kandy Korn and Kettle Korn – she’s holding Kettle Korn. Kandy Korn is brown with black markings and wouldn’t stand still enough for a good picture.
The baby goats were probably my all time favorites. This little guy who decided the food bowl was the best place to sleep was adorable.
But, the cows, horses and pigs were pretty cute too!
I also finished one of my paintings from last week, but think I used too much sparkle in the sand so am rethinking it a little bit and will do some muted touch ups.

I didn’t think it was possible to have too much sparkle?! We’re having another heat wave here as well and COVID cases going up again. SIGH. Hopefully, your trip will be spectacular when you do get to take it! Hope you are keeping cool and having a great week!
Hey Sweetie!
I think it sounds like a wise decision to hold off on the big anniversary trip. The world is still crazy in so many ways! I love the fair photos! All the sweet babies. I just want to hug them all. Lol
And love your painting …I adore sparkle Just sayin
I hope the washer issue gets all taken care of. And I love your inspirations. That first one is so very true!! Have a very blessed week ahead. xo
Thanks for the roastbeef tip, always have a hard time cooking it.
Hope the washer gets repaired quickly, it’s a MUST nowadays. Love the animal pictures.
Have a great week
