Well, it’s Monday night but I’m still back to posting on a Monday (finally)! The first two months of the year feel so foggy and distant already but I’m so glad for a brand, new fresh month tomorrow! 
Since it is late on Monday, I’m just going to get straight to the categories. Joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom as always.
The Weather 
Beautiful! The end of last week was cold and snowy. However, the snow is almost all melted and our week is full of high 50’s and 60’s sometimes upper 60’s even. Think a slight chance of rain for the weekend. March is coming in like a lamb for sure.
How I’m Feeling 
Okay. Really wasn’t the best Monday as it was a rough day for anxiety with J. However, we’ll just try again tomorrow. New month, fresh start. 
On The Breakfast Plate
Strawberry blueberry instant oatmeal. Glad it was the last packet! I thought it was packets of two flavors when I bought it but no, they were combined. Not my favorite. Coffee, water, vitamins.
On My Reading Pile
Still reading away, too much to escape. Read another Kristin Harmel over the weekend, The Forest of Vanishing Stars. Very good historical fiction work about the Jewish people hiding in the forests during WWII. Invisible Girl by Lisa Jewell was creepy good as was Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware (both kept me guessing to the end). And for a little lightness, Spring Blooms at the Hummingbird Hotel by Daisy James didn’t disappoint.
On My TV
We watched The King’s Man one day last week (not my pick), it was long but okay. And I watched Free Guy by myself on Friday. I enjoyed it a lot! Planned to watch Defiance as the Kristin Harmel book afterward mentioned it but all these streaming services and is it on any of the ones we have? No. No, it is not. Grumble. I’ll of course, also watch Joe Millionaire on Thursday.
(Not on my TV but we did go to an actual movie theater (!!) to finally see Spiderman: No Way Home. Enjoyed that. We were also the only ones in that movie.)
On The Menu
Pretty basic week here. Gordon Ramsay’s quick and delicious menu item was a dud so I gave another chicken recipe a try tonight. It was okay. Everyone else seemed to enjoy the carrot side dish but I personally, did not. Cooked carrots aren’t my thing.
MONDAY: Bacon wrapped chicken, carrots in a sweet sauce (honey, chicken stock, butter)
TUESDAY: Pancakes
WEDNESDAY: ?? Maybe out *I work 8:30-6*
THURSDAY: Roast in the crock pot *I work 3-6*
FRIDAY: Shrimp/Fish/Asparagus/Garlic Toast *J has appointment at 9*
From The Camera
I’ve been pretty lazy with the camera especially about changing out the zoom and regular lens. The zoom is on their often when I need the regular. Last week was also a little dreary with the weather near the weekend. 
Looking Around The House
Lots I needed to do today just didn’t get done. Maybe it’ll look better tomorrow.
On My To Do List
- Go to store (DONE)
- This post (In progress)
- Finish up laundry
- Take care of a couple e-mails
- Check Spring Break dates on calendar
- Everything else I’m forgetting
Quote For The Week 
I go to nature to be soothed, healed and have my senses put in order. (John Burroughs)
Glad it looks like spring is on it’s way to you! Your reading list sounds very intriguing. Your flower pictures are beautiful! Sorry to hear J’s anxiety issues are still rearing their ugly head – I’ll continue to keep him in my prayers. I hope the rest of the week is great!
Thank you! Spring really feels like it is here today with sunshine and warmer temps. However, the weather on the news just reminded us to enjoy this week because apparently, back to the 30’s next week. I do plan to enjoy the weather. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Spring is headed our way as well, and I’m very very happy for it. Such a sweet bird photo. I know what you mean about the camera, I am the same way. I usually keep my 50mm on there daily, but sometimes I want to grab a photo that needs the zoom lens and by the time I get it on, the bird or deer or whatever is gone hahahah
Hope you have a wonderful week!

Thank you. I think maybe we both just need 2 cameras? Ha! Hope you enjoy your warmer weather and have a great week!
Hey Sweetie!
Keeping J in my prayers and you’re right – new month = new start. I think being a wonderfully supportive loving Mom helps a lot too. 🙏
Spring kind of showed up today and it’s nice to hear the icicles dripping and I have the window open a bit. But this weekend calling for another snow storm! GGrrr So ready to be done with the wacky weather.
I know you talked about going to watch Spiderman. What do you think about the new Batman one coming out? I wonder if you’ve liked those of the past?
Love the pics – and nature soothes my soul too. Love that quote.
Blessings on the week ahead. xo

Thank you! After Monday, we’ve actually had a pretty smooth week. Would you believe we had temps in the 80’s (!!) yesterday? Wonderful but so strange. It’s supposed to get cold again here next week (I really hope there’s no snow involved). My oldest loves the Batman movies. For whatever reason, the Batman movies are harder for me to get into…still haven’t seen the one with Heath Ledger as the Joker, is that Batman Begins? Pathetically, every time I try to watch it, I fall asleep. Though I do enjoy the cartoons I was forced to watch on repeat when my oldest was in preschool, ha! Hope you are having a great week and have a wonderful weekend!
Sending positive vibes for J.
Great quote

Thank you! It really is amazing how much just being outside, getting some fresh air, and taking a walk helps with things. Hope you’ve had a great week so far!
