Let us start this day anew and not go back to yesterday and the list.
Tuesday is for moving forward. I am asking Jesus to lead the way for me to follow.
That means I can't sit in my chair in front of this computer all day which is one of my favorite things to do.
It also means I have to do something with this hair that probably needs washing in the shower.
My only hope might be if everyone looks into my heart and not what my hair looks like today. I will have it looking better before work in a couple of days. Do you have a hat I can borrow?
There are days that you just want that third cup of coffee and the pot is empty.
So this week I am working on Thursday. It will be a busy day and I am already trying to get organized.
Some days on my list of todos, all I see are spots. You know bla bla bla.
Then there are days where the sun is setting before I get back on track to finish one thing on the list.
So, this Monday, I believe that I am going to get everything on my list done! Now don't laugh.
Nothing is going to distract me today. I got Blessings & Hugs sent out to you and that is now marked off my list. Wish me luck with the rest of my list.
Each day I look through the pictures and graphics on my computer (851,255,122,487 bytes - 851.98 GB on disk) to find the right ones to tell you a story. I always try not to reuse pictures. However, every now and then, I run across one I have used but really like. As I was scrolling today, I came across this one and thought to myself... SELF, that is exactly what you look like sitting in front of the computer right now. My hand was under my chin and my fingers were curled. I hope you enjoy this one and know without a doubt I love sharing with you.
Thursday was an entire day of rain. The rain was a cold and a wet rain too!
The view from my computer room where I couldn't even see the mail truck putting mail in the mailbox.
So what is a lady to do? Well, make chicken and dumplings, of course,
While it is cooking, I might as well make a Pineapple Angel Food Cake.
Then add cut up pieces of Grand biscuits, let the dumplings simmer a bit and get your appetite ready. There might be a little bit left if you want some. It is better the second day anyway!
I hope you enjoy your Friday with leftovers and playing in the puddles. Feel free to come on over!
What a fabulous Thursday we are having! 80-90% coverage of RAIN!
The total rain is supposed to only be 1/2" to 1" so it should be a nice gentle rain all day.
The temperatures are cooler but 50' to 60's which means we shouldn't be freezing the rest of this week.
The flowers and plants are getting a drink and not covered up. So glad we got to run errands on Tuesday and got our grocery pickup run (1 hour one way) on Wednesday.
I hope you rest and enjoy your day with Blessings and Hugs from this FateGrandma!
What a wonderful day, Sunday! First one this month!
How do you feel after that extra hour of sleep? Do all of your clocks change automatically? Some of mine do but I am a clock nut and it takes me a while to get the 12 changed that are not automatic.
Some of mine are unusual. I have a Seiko wall clock that on the hour splits apart, twirls around and plays music and then goes back together.
I have a grandfather clock that belonged to my parents, a mantel clock they gave us as a wedding gift, and a cuckoo clock that belonged to my grandparents. I have multiple clocks in every room.
To me clocks and coffee just make the world go around. So now I am off to get more coffee and enjoy the rest of my Sunday Blessings!
Friday again? Where did the week go? Well, we might as well start the weekend. Can you believe some schools are out today for the Texas Rangers World Series Champions parade?
Don't forget that we have to change all the clocks this weekend because you get an extra hour before church starts on Sunday.
The colors this time of year are so vivid and beautiful most days. We are starting a slight warm up each day starting today, from 45° to maybe 70°.
In fact, it might be a perfect day for a hike. There is this beautiful lake I would love to visit. Do you want to come along?
If you were thinking of this one, I don't think I will be visiting it any time soon. You are on your own. On second thought, I need to go in the backyard and uncover plants today.
We made it to Friday once again. Rain has been here and gone. But it is supposed to come back again. Now what?
On Wednesday, we spent over 4 hours moving plants. They all got a good drink of water and are now ready for the plastic to go over them. We are expecting 3 nights of temperatures in the 30's.
A picture from years past of the plastic pulled back in winter so they can get sunshine. WE have lots of plants, ok I do, in pots scattered around the front and backyard; lots of hanging baskets everywhere in the back.
This is what it looks like, again from years past, on a cold winter night. Lights are on and the heater is going.
All the plants in tubs, big plastic tubs, got moved to the front. They will go in the garage when temperatures drop with a heater turned on.
Just in case you were wondering... yes, I have plants inside too. This is the only window in the house that does NOT have a solar screen so the plants can get light. I have a plant or two in about 3 other locations inside the house.
So our adopted family came Monday after Will's dentist appointment!
Oh what a fun time was had by all! We ate delicious hamburgers! The guys watched Westerns and talked. Wendy made a great Apple Cranberry Coleslaw from a recipe I found and had bought all the ingredients. Then we harvested my Malabar Spinach and had a wonderful visit together.
As usual, Rbt shared lots of stories from many years ago with some knowledge thrown in. Believe me when I say that there is a lot of knowledge and stories worth listening to from him.
There is no telling how tall my 17 year old grandson is now. His mom is 6' and his half brother is 6'9". When I reach out my arms, they are at his waist. He is such a loving and kind man that knows God and the Bible. We are BLESSED!
We are so thankful for the family and friends that Jesus has put in our life! I am especially Blessed with my Hubby!
Fall is the time for Chrysanthemums to bloom. Isn't it amazing how different times of the year different plants show their colors.
This Tuesday morning we are still waiting for rain. It is west of us! Fort Worth got a nice rain yesterday evening!
Me, waiting for rain to get here. Cooler temperatures coming... a high of 55 for Halloween is cold! Not waiting for that! Just trying to be thankful for every minute of every day.
