Happy Monday, dear friends, and Happy May! I can't believe it's already May. I'm not complaining though. I am ready for sunshine and warm temperatures. They seem to be taking a little while to get here though. We are in for a few chilly days here.
Did you all have a wonderful weekend? Our weekend was filled with rain, so not too great. We couldn't do too much outside. Hubby did get to burn our brush pile. On Sunday, I had Mass and Sunday school. We only have one more class for the year.
Let's get on with Happy Homemaker Monday with our beautiful hostess Sandra from Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Be sure to stop in and say hey there.
The Weather~
We've had a few rainy, dreary days and now we have cooler temps. We are in the high 40s this week. I am not liking this weather. I'd really love to see some sunshine, but it doesn't look like we will for a few days. Mamma Kitty and I are ready for some sunshine.
Monday~ Scattered Showers, 49* (Way too cold for me)
Tuesday~Cloudy, 46*
Wedenesday~ Cloudy, 46*
Thursday~ Partly Cloudy, 52*
Friday~ Mostly Sunny, 57*
Saturday~ Partly Cloudy, 59*
Sunday~ Mostly Sunny, 65*
As I Look Out My Window~
It's gray and cloudy outside. The rain has stopped at least for a bit. They are calling for some afternoon showers. After three days of rain, I'm ready for a break.
When I went out to feed the girls, the birds were singing and chirping away. I think they were happy to have a reprieve from the rain too.
Right Now I Am ~
I'm typing up this post and working through some laundry. I got a little behind because our dryer broke. Some my dear, sweet hubby bought me a new set! We got a front loader this time. This is the first time I've had one. I like the set. The washer seems to wash the clothes better and the dryer actually dries the clothes!
Thinking and Pondering~
Flowers, Flowers, and Flowers! I can wait to get some new flowers this year and plant them. So far the flowers I bought last year have not returned. They were supposed to so I'm definitely disappointed.
I'm also thinking about baby chicks. I'm eagerly awaiting Marigold, our broody hen, to go broody so we can swap out her eggs with babies. She did great last year.
How am I Feeling~
I'm feeling pretty good. I had a few weeks of bad allergies. Now all I have are itchy eyes. Not too bad, so I'll take it. I think we all had a little cold a few weeks ago but we're better now.
What's for Breakfast~
I had coffee and eggs I collected from the girls this morning. I have to collect the eggs regularly because I have a hen that is eating the eggs. I've caught the little thief red-beaked so now I have to break her of the habit.
Looking Around the House~
I vacuumed and mopped on Saturday but it needs to be vacuumed again. With all the pets losing their winter fur right now it's crazy around here. I need to put clothes away and straighten up the master bedroom. Everything else just needs a little cleanup.

Hi Monique! We have had crazy up and down weather here too. I'm just grateful there's no more snow and actually green grass out there - so going in the right direction. Lol
ReplyDeleteWe definitely think alike as flowers are on my brain constantly these days! I can't wait to dig in the dirt. ;) Your tulip pic went right to my soul! So pretty.
And love that you have hens...I think it would be so fun to keep them. And fresh eggs would be amazing! Blessings on the rest of your week. xo
Sounds like you had great plans. I hope all is going well. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!
Thanks for visiting me at Harvest Lane Cottage,

Winter ran so late this year and spring is just now showing its face so my flowers are the same and just now really making an appearance (they're normally starting in late March) so maybe there is hope for your flowers too :D I hope you're having a GREAT week.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your tulips!! I bought some tulip bulbs this year and was so disappointed when they didn't bloom! Yours are gorgeous! I also wish you luck on your hens! We are hoping to get our chicks in June and start a new flock, we love raising chickens! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to come and visit you today, thank you for everything you've shared!
ReplyDeleteHave a joy-filled day
