Happy Labor Day Weekend! I decided to get back to blogging starting this month. And since I have today off, figured it was a good day to jump back into things. Can’t think of a better way to start back than with a Happy Homemaker Monday post.
Thank you to Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for hosting these link ups. I have missed this little hobby of mine as well as keeping up with all the wonderful bloggers. I’ve been terrible at keeping up with everyone (in real life as well) so my goal for this fall is to be A LOT better about it.
Before I get on with the post, I should share I’m typing this from a brand new laptop and being a desktop kind of gal, this is new to me. Hopefully, I’ll just figure it out as I go.
The Weather
As a summer lover, I’m hereby declaring that this summer needs to end. NOW. We’re on day 10 million of heat advisory over here. Okay, maybe like day 6 or 7, been a long stretch of temps in the 90’s with feels likes over 100. It’s currently 83 outside with a feels like of 88 and that feels halfway decent.
It’s supposed to be 99 degrees tomorrow but then, we get a break the rest of the week with a bit of rain and temps mostly in the upper 80s. Counting down to the 84 degree that’s supposedly coming on Thursday.
As I Look Outside My Window
The hummingbird fights are on! We’ve had FOUR hummingbirds at our feeder lately but they don’t get along too well.
Right Now I Am
Sitting in the living room trying to get this post typed up before lunch.
Thinking And Pondering
How crazy the next couple of weeks are going to be at work with one of our regular teachers out, how the house is ever going to get clean, and a million other little things.
How I Am Feeling
I’ve been a bit crabby this weekend, probably a mix of the heat and not sleeping great
On The Breakfast Plate
Sausage and biscuits (not the gravy stuff) and a biscuit with huckleberry jam. Husband made homemade biscuits yesterday & I had the leftovers.
On The Lunch Plate
Husband is making us hamburgers
On The Dinner Plate
Great question
What I’m Wearing Today
Old Navy star tee shirt, jean shorts
On My Reading Pile
Just started reading It Could Have Been Her by Lisa Jewell. Good and suspenseful so far.
On My TV
Not much, I re-watched Avengers: Infinity War on Friday. I am excited for a new season of Best Medicine, a remake of Doc Martin, to start back
On The Menu
Crazy high heat does not make for good menu planning. Neither does needing to go to the store…
Today: Hamburgers for lunch, we might just do frozen pizza or something else light later
TUESDAY: Most likely tacos
WEDNESDAY: Maybe pasta, I need to make pesto as I have lots of basil going wild around the gardens
THURSDAY: ????
FRIDAY: ?????
On My To Do List
- Usual shopping errands: Grocery/Target/Dollar Tree
- Library
- Clean the house a bit
- Continue to figure out this laptop
- Get some extra meals in the freezer for busy days
What I Am Creating
Just went yesterday and got some seedlings for a fall garden: cabbage, lettuce, and need to plant some carrots (not sure I have time…need to check).
Something Fun To Share
A couple of 9 spotted forester moths visited my garden one day. These were new to me. Lots of fun to watch!
From The Camera
We went to Roaring River State Park for our anniversary a couple weeks back. Still very hot but it was peaceful.

YOU’RE BACK!!!! YAY!!!! We’ve missed you at HHM and here in the blog world on a regular basis. Seeing you on IG just wasn’t the same. I sure hope your heat advisories are over! It has been such a horrible summer all over this country. Have a GREAT week and I hope week is good to you.
Aw, thank you! I’m excited to get back to blogland, I have missed it. Today is hopefully the last day of the crazy heat around here.
Glad you are back to join us. It was extremely hot here as well and I am so thankful for the break in the temperatures. Nice to be outside again.
Thank you. Sorry you’ve had to deal with the horrible heat as well. I’ve been outside every morning watering the garden at like 6a.m. and then, out with the kids on the playground early as well because of the heat. Excited to get back to a regular schedule though I’ll still have to water the garden unless we get a decent rain, which we are supposed to have tomorrow.
Helloooo my Lovely!! So happy to have you back here for HHM 🙂 And yay for the plan to be back here regularly again. Just know you’ve been missed! And happy Autumn to you. 🍁🧡 I hope your weather starts to cooperate and cool down. I know I would sure feel grumpy if I had to keep dealing with heat like that too. Yuck!
I’ve just started to get Matt into liking the marvel movies so we have watched a couple together now. (I’ve seen a lot of them through the years) I’ve seen all 4 of the Avengers one – but he has now watched the first 2. So I’m looking forward to finishing that series with him. I’m so glad he likes them too!
Loved the pics you captured. That moth is beautiful! And the park is stunning. What a pretty place. Blessings on the rest of your week. xoxo
Aw, thank you, I’m so happy to be back! A lot of people around here have been so grumpy…really hoping the heat cools down the air and tempers! Oh how, fun to watch the Marvel movies together. What do you think you’ll watch after the Avengers movies? We’re big Spiderman fans over here. Hope you enjoy all your autumn coziness this week!
Glad to see you writing again! I’ve missed your posts!
Carol recently posted…Two birthdays and a week at camp!
Thank you! I’m glad to be back to posting. Hopefully, I get back to more than one post a week eventually. WAIT, I just went over to your blog and you’re leaving as I decided to come back? Hope you’ll still be posting on Instagram?
Welcome back. Hoping your weather cools this week. Had a nice time visiting – have a great week!
Thank you! It did cool down a bit this week and the mid 80’s have felt so nice. Hope you had a great week!
Glad to see you back. I am having to search for posts as my reading list is not updating at all.
Thank you! Hope you get your reading list sorted out soon. Have a great week!
