Happy Homebody Monday # 7 Mist of Time

                                                         Hello all you Happy Beautiful Homebodies!

A few hot days in the high 80-degree mark, hot for this time of year, I've watered what seed I did plant so far. The water from the rain barrel is good for the plants, and the bird bath, deer like it to. It was a good investment, something I'm glad we took the time to do, harvesting rain from the heavens. 

 

 What the squirrel don't dig up and the deer don't eat, we'll see what is left. 
Scaling back this year. A couple of tomatoe plants (purchased), basil, and some squashes. I've already watered this morning, while it is comfortable, did a wee amount of weeding.

It is Monday, bread should be made today, we'll see. 


Yesterday I went through the yarn I had in my tinker box, bagged it up. What my son doesn't take to the senior home will go to thrift shop. 
This is a very pretty basket; we purchased from an Amish Stand many Years ago. It has held yarn of all this time. It is now 1/3 full with just cotton yarn, I'm not ready to part with yet. It was full to the top with yarn stash, which somebody else with love now, and work with, making beautiful things with.

Pulling from the Myst of Time today, a previous posting, with a relevant topic.

Have an amazing Monday!
Be of good cheer!

Chit Chat over the clothesline

Well here we are once again, almost one month later. I hope you are all well, some of you are busy preparing  your gardens, and some are preparing it for a winters nap. 

I cannot say that I have accomplished much in the last few weeks, I am battling fatigue, and some days the train I feel like I'm pulling is really heavy.

I've managed to make a few taper beeswax candles, still working on the afghan, and trying to find a pattern which will not be as substantial to fiddle about on. When I get the fatigue, I also get the brain fog...which puts a hitch in my getalong. 




I did get the rhubarb planted, and one grape plant. We started some sunflowers and marigolds, delphiniums and colored Queen Annes lace. More will be planted in the coming weeks. 

The rain barrel is up, my husband did a good job with attaching, and toting the heavy stuff.


 

Baking one loaf of white bread today for supper, it's in the first rise. I have the sourdough starter out for later, it has been fed and is rising nicely. The method I follow for this is very simple, and extremely easy to maintain, I posted about that 

Here 

I have a few more tidbits, which I'll talk to you about at another time, I don't want to "overwhelm" you with all of this excitement. 

Till next time
