Happy Homemaker Monday, I’m Back

Back from nowhere. I didn’t actually go anywhere but the last two weeks were a bit of a whirlwind. Fun, hardworking, and happy. However, also too exhausted to come downstairs and sit at a computer each night and do any blogland visiting. “Thyme” to come back and do a Monday posting.

The whole month of July looks like the same kind of busy but I do have a bit of a break between now and then so here I am back to my routine. Sort of. Took the day to be a bit lazy so just now getting to my posting. And I should also get a chance to do some blogland visiting this week as well, might not be until later in the week though.

Joining in with Sandra over at Diary Of A Stay At Home Mom as always.

The Weather

It’s been HOT. My kind of weather but even a bit hot for me a few days. Today is a bit of a reprieve as we had a cold front move through and it was in the mid 60’s this morning. A nice change after waking up to the mid 80’s most of last week. It’s supposed to be the mid 80’s/low 90’s for most of the week as our high temps not the starting points.

How I Am Feeling This Morning (Afternoon)

Not too bad. Looking forward to having a few days off and happy that it’s officially summer.

On The Breakfast Plate

A Chobani Flip Yogurt, chewy churro flavor, not a fan.

On My Reading Pile

Just finished two Alison Sherlock books in the past two weeks. The Village of Lost and Found (Riverside Lane #2) and A House to Mend a Broken Heart, one of her older books and not my favorite. The Riverside Lane series is great though.

On My TV

Zombies! Been catching up with Fear the Walking Dead and The Walking Dead.

On The Menu

Didn’t really make a menu last week or maybe I did and we didn’t follow it. Seems to be the theme for my summer menus, make menu, change it all last minute.

MONDAY: Cooked Pork Chops (from freezer), baked potatoes, salad My husband ended up making us pancakes *J has a baritone lesson at 6:30*

TUESDAY: pepper steak, rice *I work 8:15-4:45*

WEDNESDAY: chicken spinach skillet *I work 8:15-4:45*

THURSDAY: Roast in crockpot

FRIDAY: turkey sausages, chips, strawberries *J has an appt at 3* *I have am plans with a friend*

From The Camera

Planned to go take some quick updated pictures of the garden areas but when you don’t pick the camera up for two weeks, you don’t know the battery needs a charge. So, all the photos in this post are from 2 weeks ago…

Looking Around The House

It’s looked better, a lot better but it’s still livable.

To Relax This Week, I Will

Water my flowers, work in the gardens, take a walk, pick up the camera again

Something I Want To Share

Dumb joke I heard on the radio last week:

Why did Tigger stick his head in the toilet?

He was looking for Pooh!

(Not preschool appropriate but I thought it was funny!)

Quote For The Week

A single sunbeam is enough to drive away many shadows (St. Francis of Assisi)

Are you excited for it to finally be officially summer?

  1. I LOVE the play on words for thyme 😀 cute picture. The bunnies are adorable too. Why is it we always get busier when we are supposed to be in a “relaxing” season? I’ve made and remade me menus for the past several weeks – such is the life of summer! I hope you have a GREAT week.

    1. Thanks! I’m not sure but summer does always seem a bit busier doesn’t it? Maybe the nice weather. I’m planning to relax next week 🙂 Hope your week is going wonderfully so far!

  2. LOL that joke was funny. Love all your pictures. I too am trying to get myself to pick up the camera more and starting taking more pictures to share. Life has been……well…..life I suppose and it’s thrown me off track.

    Have a blessed week. Oh and the menu thing, that’s been the story of my life the past month or so, make a menu, change it all last minute, or end up eating out because of something going on. Glad I’m not the only one.

    1. Thanks, I thought the joke was a good one. The radio station did “dad jokes” all last week leading up to Father’s Day. I wish they’d kept on, it was nice starting the day with a chuckle. Think we’ve changed the menu again every day this week. I guess the menu is just a starting point during the summer. Hope your week is going well so far.

  3. Hello!
    I see you had pancakes for dinner.
    That is one of my favorite memories.
    When my grandma would stay with us to babysit, she would always make Breakfast for Dinner!!! Love!
    Have a cozy day. We are getting a break for the heat today!

    1. I love having breakfast for dinner! Glad you are getting a break from the heat. This week’s not been too bad here either. Hope your week has been wonderful so far!

  4. Hey Sweetie!
    First of all bad joke. Lol (too funny) 😝
    Cute beginning of your post with reference to thyme. I see you have lots of bunnies around too. I swear there’s been a new explosion of them each summer around here.
    I’ve been loving our beautiful weather and love that it truly feels like summer. Flowers in full bloom, bay has been lovely – even some good thunderstorms. And some family reunions and not needing masks much – it all feel glorious!
    Look forward to see what your camera captures next time. 😉 Blessings to you. xo

    1. I know the joke was bad but funny. Interesting you’re seeing a bunch of bunnies as well. Seems late for them around here. Yes, summer is finally here and feeling somewhat normal. Such a great feeling. Hope your week’s been fabulous so far!
