Happy Monday evening! It’s sooo dark out right now. But I have to say I do enjoy it being light early in the morning. It makes it a lot easier to get going! We had a pretty nice weekend here, how about you?
Yesterday I got a lot of cleaning done in the house and Drew blew leaves outside, and put away the grill and patio furniture for the winter. I also made a mini-Thanksgiving — roast turkey breast with gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, zucchini…. I like to do a “practice run” before Thanksgiving to make sure I’ll have everything I need (namely, gravy separator which somehow I always manage to lose!). It was yummy!
It’s kind of funny participating in HHM this late in the day, but I find it’s easiest for me to blog while dinner is cooking so… it’s more of a reflection, I guess! Anyway.
Breakfast time….what is on the plate this morning::::
This morning it was a bowl of Grain Grains cereal and some coffee.
Right now I am::::
Sitting in my kitchen and watching the time so I can get dinner started!
The weather outside::::
Today was windy and drizzly. Earlier in the day it was kind of warm and humid, but it definitely got colder as the day went on.
Looking around the house::::
I have to vacuum and steam mop, but otherwise its looking pretty good.
On today’s to do list::::
– Fold laundry
Currently reading::::
Bird Box just came in for me at the library, so I’ll get that tomorrow and start reading it.
On the TV today::::
No idea! I haven’t even thought about it.

Tuesday – French dip sandwiches (roast in crock pot), battered fries, salad

If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::
I will keep hooking away at the triangle scarf I’m making for myself.
New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
Tonight’s pork chop recipe is a new one that I’ve wanted to try for quite a while!
Looking forward to this week::::
I’m very much looking forward to Election Day being over! Also, I’m looking forward to going to a wine tasting on Saturday night.
Favorite photo from the camera::::
I changed my planner cover to a Thankgiving-themed cover I got a few years ago. I love this one! Excuse my reflection in the lamination, LOL!
I really like your planner cover. Glad to see someone else say they like the light in the early mornings. A Thanksgiving type meal sounds wonderful. Hope you have a wonderful week.
I’m running late this week with getting back from up north and getting sick right away. The time change is also messing with me BIG time too. Have a GREAT week.
