Always strange to me when Easter is early. Now, what do I do with this entire month of April? Probably enjoy the spring weather (I hope!) and buy too many flowers (annually, annuals and perennials though).
Taking some time to join in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom for a Happy Homemaker Monday post.
The Weather
Nice out though rather warm for the first of April, it’s currently 76 degrees. We’re supposed to get rain later this afternoon into tomorrow and I really hope we do. It’s also supposed to cool off a bit (nothing drastic but enough that I’ll need to haul all my plants back indoors as some nights do hit the upper 30’s).
As I Look Outside My Window
It’s a cloudy, dreary kind of day. (The picture under weather was from one day last week.)
Right Now
Trying to get this post together while doing a bit of laundry.
Thinking and Pondering
Too much, had something coherent to write here when I started my post but I’ve forgotten so now all my thoughts are a jumble again: house next door, election on Tuesday, upcoming trip, work stuff, etc…..
How I am Feeling
Not too bad though we just finished lunch so a bit sleepy. Time for a nap? Too bad the bed is covered in clean laundry.
On the Breakfast Plate
carrots, pineapple, honey, eggs, butter, splash of milk or I guess we can call it by its proper name: a slice of carrot cake. Coffee, vitamins.
On the Lunch Plate
turkey sausage, orzo, and broccoli
On The Dinner Plate
white chicken chili is in the slow cooker
On The Menu
MONDAY: white chicken chili
TUESDAY: pork chops, baked potato, salad
WEDNESDAY: curry (made with the leftover pork)
THURSDAY: thai beef kabobs (probably just going to grill the steak and not make kabobs though)
FRIDAY: monte cristo sandwiches
What I Am Wearing Today
maroon t-shirt, jeans, tennis shoes
On My Reading Pile
Rachel’s Riviera Retreat by Daisy James but I’ve just started it.
On My TV This Week
I’m on season 2 of Gilmore Girls, such a fun show that I really didn’t expect to like nearly as much as I do. Delightful. The last episode of The Ones Who Live, whatever randomly is on network tv but likely The Voice, The Masked Singer, Next Level Chef. Oh, and on streaming, the Spring Baking Championship.
Looking Around the House
Somehow without having company for Easter, I didn’t find the motivation to clean so it’s not looking very pretty today.
On My To Do List
Things I don’t want to do?
- Store *done, just needed a few extras/pantry replacements for rounding out the menu
- Phone calls/texts to return *procrastinating…*
- Laundry
- Probably should clean the house
- Some baking/preparing for our upcoming trip (We’re going to travel to see the eclipse)
From The Camera
We’ve determined a pair of Cooper’s hawks are building a nest in the backyard area (not our yard but one yard over). Fun to watch but I’m not sure what to do regarding my bird feeders. Am I feeding the hawks or do I just call it circle of life? Caught these 2 photos of one of the hawks over the weekend. 
Quote for the Week

Hellooooo my Lovely!
I’m with you about all the money being spent on all the flowers! Lol Although we’re not there yet, here. Maybe May. I love seeing all the blooming where you are. Snow is melting here and hopefully everything will be getting lovely again soon.
Love your carrot cake comment. Ha!😁 Btw your menu sounds so good to me this week! I’ll be right over. 😉
Blessings. xo
It’s been cold again a bit here, so up and down with the weather/no snow though/whew! Hope you’ve had a great week so far!
Hawks? they must be beautiful to watch. Have a great week
They are fun to watch though we’ve not seen them in a few days so I’m wondering if they changed their minds. Hope you’ve had a great week so far!
I LOVED your “procrastinating” comment on phone calls. I’ve been so busy that I have been procrastinating here on not only the phone calls, but also the piles that need sorted, tossed and filed. I have to admit I’m even getting caught up on blog comments, albeit a bit late this week instead of deal with those piles 😀
Oh my, have a great trip to see the eclipse, but do be careful, people get so crazy with these things and I understand many places are expecting BIG crowds and lots of traffic.
Thank you, we had a fun time, thankfully, not too crowded where we went though we did watch a large traffic jam on part of Monday afternoon (we stayed until Tuesday). Hard to get back into the swing of things today.
