Happy Homemaker Monday - Dec. 16 - On The Farm

-
Well I am missed writing this one since it is getting late and I have been busy! I really don't know where the day has gone, but I will attempt to get this written today and I will hopefully, be able to do another post tomorrow. I have a lot to share, but I will just get to the post now. 

Please join me as I link up with Sandra of Diary of a
Stay At Home Mom and all the other lovely ladies that gather
there on this week's Happy Homemaker Monday! 💗

Right Now I Am....

Writing this post and listening to my husband's stupid YouTube videos that he is watching. I have the television on a Hallmark movie, but can't hear it because of his phone. I hate my computer being in the dining room, when he is home at least. 

On The Breakfast Plate...

Today was smoked sausage and French toast. It was quite delicious! 

The Weather _ Outside My Window...

Nasty! It snowed last night and then we had freezing rain and more snow today. It is dark so I can't tell if it is snowing now or not. We are supposed to get another 2-4 inches tonight. 

On The Reading Pile...
  I am still not finished with my Christmas book as I have just been too busy. I have been doing other things, but I will finish it. 

On The Menu This Week...
  Monday - Beef Stew and Cornbread
  Tuesday - Low Carb Cheeseburger Soup
  Wednesday - Grilled Chicken with Basil Garlic Seasoning, Oven Roasted Potatoes, Green Beans
  Thursday - Cheeseburgers and Fries
  Friday - No idea!

In The Craft Basket...

 I am going to be working on some doll clothes for my grand doll. She likes to lose her Barbie clothes and so I am going to make some. 

Looking Forward To...
 Finishing up the Christmas shopping and enjoying some evenings of going to see Christmas lights and other fun things. I need to get my grand doll to see Santa this week if possible. 

From The Camera ...

Our view outside the back window this morning. I love this pine tree in the winter time just because it makes for beautiful pictures!

Prayer Requests...
 
World Peace
An end to useless violence
My family
My friends
Health and Happiness in the new year



Lots happening here and I will share more photos tomorrow as well as more farm news with all of you!

    You sound busy and a bit frustrated with all you have on your plate.
    Life does get complicated sometimes.
    Your GrandDoll will adore her new Barbie clothes.
    I doubt I will get to many Christmas cards this year...I guess I am getting lazy in my old age.
    Last minute shopping here too and we are still plugging away at eBay selling. It sure takes a lot of my time doing it.
    The weather here is gray and blah today. Temps in the high 30's but no frost this morning. We don't get snow here but the mountains 2 hours away are going to get a bunch more this week.
    Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas.

      Sue, I will admit that I get a little frustrated with all that I do. I feel as though I never stop. I never get my to do list finished and I rarely seem to find time to do anything I enjoy at the moment.
      I am not doing many cards this year either.

    As I scrolled down the comments, I stopped and thought, "I don't remember commenting. Did I say something?" and then realized it was a comment by "Jeanie" with one "n". I think I am losing my mind sometimes. So, I, Jeannie (with 2 n's), have nothing important to say, other than...I'm glad I'm not losing my mind.

    PS: Wish we had a little of your snow.

  The Boxcar Children (The Boxcar Children, #1) by   Gertrude Chandler Warner ,   L. Kate Deal   (Illustrator) Carol Slater 's review Jan 31, 2024   ·    edit it was amazing A Classic! I read this as part of a challenge to read classical books and this month was to reread a classic. As a child and a teen, I loved the Boxcar Children series written by Gertrude Chandler Warner and could not wait to read this book again. I decided to start with the first book in the series and I will read the entire series again this month as long as time allows. The Boxcar Children is about a group of 4 orphans that are siblings. They feel that they have to make it on their own to stay together. One day while walking in the woods, they discover an abandoned boxcar and decide that they will make it into their home. The children use items that the find at the local dump and in the woods to make items that they need for the home. The oldest brother does odd jobs to fe...

  New author alert!  Marie Spears Botkin is a new author, and this book is available on Amazon. All readers should step into The Sparkle Forest. Is it a real place or a place in Avery's dream? Is it real or imaginary? The story begins with Avery, a child in the foster system, being new in town learning of a bridge in the town of Cloud that has an interesting story behind it.

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
