Monday Chit Chat

Happy Monday everyone! How are y'all today? Did you have a good weekend? Ours was typical - lots of family time filled with laughter and good conversation.

This morning I made bread. It will be so nice to finally have fresh bread in the house! We seldom eat sandwiches so the bread is really only used in the morning for toast. It's amazing how that simple piece of toast can be so well liked.

We had some storms move through our area earlier today. I love the smell in the air after a good rain. It's always so clean and fresh! (Gee, I really need to get out and weed whack around our tree well --- I'm wonder if I can do it without taking down the tree?)

The wind was so wild that even my plants on the covered front porch were thoroughly watered.

Over the weekend I was able to get a few things done in the kitchen. One of my favorite outcomes was this new baking area. I moved my mixer to this counter as well as my flour and sugar canisters. If nothing else, I like the look of the area much better than before.

This afternoon I'll wash a couple of loads of cloths and watch a new movie I picked up several weeks ago and have yet to see. I may even try to make some banana muffins as well.

The girls are playing with Pixie up in their room. They've finished all their daily work so they have the afternoon to what they please (as long as it doesn't involve disaster and destruction!).

For the puppy patrons:

Okay, even I, who is not easily charmed by dogs, was charmed by this sleeping Pixie!

I'll post the next installment of Budget Sense tomorrow afternoon. Also, don't forget to enter the give away I am having - you have until Midnight tonight to enter Stella's Stwansong Stweepstakes. Click on the link or just see the post right below this one to enter!
