Happy Homemaker Monday - 05/26/2025

Good morning sweet ladies, and welcome back to my little corner of blogland.
 
It is a very rainy start to the week, signaling just the kind of weather we will be dealing with over the next few days.  I love a good rain fall, I don't however like high winds and tornadoes, as you may already know.  Just praying the craziness of the storms stays far away from us.  
 
I have a pretty calm week ahead, culminating with my yearly mammogram on Friday morning.  That, I am not looking forward to at all, it's always an anxious day for me, the whole process from driving to the hospital, to the exam and then driving home and waiting for the results.  It's almost like you hold your breath the whole time.  Hate that feeling, but it must be done.  
 
Right, it is Memorial Day so I want to start by wishing you all a great day with your families.  Please remember what this day means and why it is celebrated.
 
Now, let's get on with our Happy Homemaker Monday post.  Have a blessed week friends! 
 
 


The weather:::
It's been so warm, we actually hit 100 the other day.  Way too early for this kind of heat.  We are back to rainy, stormy days over the week ahead.  It's currently pouring it down outside, bright lightning and strong winds as well.            

Monday - Morning Thunderstorms, 75
Tuesday - Partly cloudy, 78
Wednesday - Partly cloudy, 80
Thursday - Morning Thunderstorms, 75
Friday - Partly cloudy, 80
Saturday - Partly cloudy, 86
Sunday - Mostly sunny, 89


As I look outside my window:::
It is still pitch black outside.  I have my back patio door open and only the screen door closed.  I can hear the strong winds blowing out there, and very soft rain coming down.  I actually need to go let the chickens out, but am waiting for the wind and rain to die down.       
   

Right now I am:::
Sitting in the living room and working on this post.  Also talking to my stepmom through voice message.     

 
Something fun to share (a blog, a video, a tip):::
I love vintage anything, and I follow quite a few channels on YouTube.  I just enjoy watching them so much.  I found one recently that I've been enjoying and thought you may enjoy it as well.  Arietta lives in Greece and shares the sweetest videos.  Hope you enjoy her channel as well ♥

My simple pleasure::: 
Being up super early on the weekends, and getting to sit in the living room, alone, in the quiet, while enjoying my cup of coffee.        


Looking around the house:::
It is quiet, everyone is still asleep.  The back door is open letting in the morning fresh air, and the chirping of the birds.     
 
 
From the camera:::
Morning sun shining on my little lap blanket.        
 
Friday Snippets

 
Bible verse, Devotional::: 
"So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, you are also an heir through God." - Galatians 4:7

It's raining over here too, and I like it. I like staying inside and getting all cozy.
I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend Dear Sandra! And I pray for you safety from all the crazy weather this summer may bring your way. I love the quiet moments early in the AM's too. Love that pic with the quilt in the dappled sunlight - brings peace to me. :) Blessings. xo
