Weather in My Neck of the Woods
The rain has finally stopped. I think. But the sky is a white-gray overcast. I decided that it wasn't going to stop me from hanging a load of laundry on the line though.
In the Garden
Remember those peas, cucumbers, pumpkins, and wax beans I planted last week? Well, they've sprouted and are growing! That stinky organic fertilizer seems to be doing the trick because it's NOT our warm, sunny days...
Looking Around the House
Looking Around the House
My kids are back from visiting their grandparents on the Atlantic coast, and with their return the noise of electronics, running feet and clinking of dirty dishes hitting the sink fill the house.

We all attended my sister's wedding this past weekend with views of the Atlantic in a private cove. |

What's on my TV Today
Perhaps I should eliminate this section from my daybook as I'm not watching TV right now. When September arrives, I'll be watching Survivor, The Amazing Race, The Voice, and Big Bang Theory again. Until then? Not so much.
What I'm Creating from the Craft Basket
I've gotten a few friends asking about the chicken potholders I crocheted last week so I'm hunting up some more yarn to whip up some more, but to sell this time. They're adorable, but (honestly) not practical for HOT pots. In the meantime, I made some cell phone cases and got back to working on my son's rippled blanket.

Things that Make Me Happy and Thankful
A family camping trip!

What a beautiful wedding site! God's glorious creation! I need to find a good fertilizer for my tomatoes. The manure just doesn't seem to be cutting it this year! Normally they go crazy over that stuff. We dont' watch much television unless it is something like Love it or List it and some other yard make over shows. Great ideas from them.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week back in the norm! :)
I have a "black thumb" when it comes to tomatoes. I'm not sure why? We've even tried containers with a soil mixture purchased from a store specifically for growing them...nothing. I've wanted to make my own tomato sauces to can as well as homemade salsa, but. I'll have to stick with pickles! LOL
DeleteWhat beautiful scenery for a wedding! Gorgeous! Waiting for my copy of In the Unlikely Event!
ReplyDeleteI finished An Unlikely Event last night! It's an interesting historical fiction novel, but I particularly enjoyed the last 1987 section...But that's all I'm going to tell you! LOL
DeleteOh what pretty site for a wedding!!! Love the phone cases!! Have fun camping!
ReplyDeleteIt was a splendid place to get married! It's near her house, private (but public). Few even know it exist. We love going there just to soak up the sun, play in the ocean and explore with our kids.
DeleteHow timely that you write about the chicken potholders! I stumbled on your tutorial just a few days ago. It's great! It's a perfect video for beginners who know basic crochet stitches to be able to make the potholder. Very cute. Your breakfast pizza for dinner sounds yummy. I'm happy the second planting worked.
ReplyDeleteIt IS an easy pattern if you know I few basic stitches! Or those stitches can be seen on various You Tube videos. You Tube is how I taught myself to crochet (thus far). Let's hope breakfast pizza works! I need to make a white gravy for the first time...I couldn't find any in a jar this morning at the store. ;)
DeleteI love the pictures of the cove. It does sound like you need some sunshine for that garden! Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Paula! Sunnier days are supposed to be coming up! Hopefully just in time for our tent camping trip...
DeleteWhat a lovely place for a wedding,
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Dawn
It was perfect! The next day is poured and poured!
Deleteabsolutely gorgeous place for a wedding! YUMMY...BBQ Chicken...that's what I served tonight..fresh off the grill......Mmmmm....Here's to hoping/praying you all get some sunshine this week! (my husband was in Maine all day Saturday for his aunt's memorial service...up past Portland in a town called Brunswick).
ReplyDeleteOh, Saturday was beautiful! He picked a good day to be here! But sorry to hear about the memorial service...
DeleteWhat a lovely spot for a wedding! I love the ocean. My brother got married by a lighthouse in Maine...His wedding was in March though and it was COLD!
ReplyDeleteLovely daybook...have a great week
March is very much winter here! Brrr! But a lighthouse wedding would be fun!
DeleteLove your TV section!! I am also waiting for the Amazing Race and The Voice...these my hubby will watch with me!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing...visiting from Simple Woman's Daybook...
We don't have cable, but these are shows I can see on-line free the next day. I don't mind waiting...and since they're free for a while I can watch on my schedule.
