A Quiet Weekend

Good morning friends,

How was your weekend? Ours was very uneventful and really nice.

Saturday we stayed home and worked around the house. No agenda (just the way David likes it) and it was relaxing to just putter around the house and work on things as we felt like it.

I made the usual breakfast Saturday morning - biscuits and sausage gravy. I'm not happy with my biscuit mix though. It makes the biscuits too dense, although the flavor is delicious. Hmmm...any tips?

David installed a ceiling fan in the play room, while I worked on some paper/planner crafting. I think it was just the kind of Saturday we needed. 

Sunday we went to church and then out for a burger. Not a fast food burger, but the kind you find yourself craving. The kind that is stacked so high full of veggies, beef and homemade buns, that you can barely get your mouth around it. It did not disappoint!

Sunday afternoon was another slow day with little on the agenda. Every now and then we need those weekends.

Our roses put out the first bloom this week and though I usually don't pick my flowers, I had to have this one because it smelled so amazing! I wanted to savor it for as long as possible and enjoy the fragrance.

It just opened up so beautifully and is still giving off the best smell. Those $11 rose bushes have more than paid for themselves. They survived the freeze with no coverings and have come back as pretty as ever.

Today I am at home cleaning and doing laundry. It's one of my favorite kind of days. Not because of the work, but because I'm home, skies are blue, it's cool outside, and I get to work around my house. 

I will start a new Bible study today. I will work on some craft organization, mop, clean bathrooms and possibly attempt to organize a few closets (which could possibly spill over to the rest of the week). 

Tomorrow I will prepare food for Family Dinner night, make sure the playroom is ready for the kids and relax after everything is done.

I need to start a new book. I'm kind of in a "blah" zone with my reading right now. I tried a book from the library, but it had some controversies and I stopped reading halfway through. I was so disappointed because I was in the mood for a cozy mystery and this one, though advertised as such, was no such thing.

I have a few more books from the library, so I'll pick one of those up this afternoon and give it a try. Good thing I can just take them back if I don't like them! 

Well, that's all for today. I need to get busy. I hope your Monday is everything you're hoping for!

Until Next Time...

Blessings 💚
