Good Wednesday Morning

Good Morning all. I pray that each of you had a restful night. This morning is off to a big bang. Rebecca, Jackie and Steven are off to the barn to do the work there. Thank God for their job there. Elizabeth is off to her baby sitting job again another huge blessing. James and I are home cleaning and getting ready for the day. When the children get home they will eat breakfast. This morning it is cinnamon oatmeal and sausage. I ran out of bread and honestly just have not had the time to bake some. With all these doctors apt i have been having i feel like what little time i have at home needs to be spent on other things yet now we have no bread humm maybe i need to rethink that... lol... Chemo today yeah... not.. lol...

So around the homestead the horse has been taken care of for the morning. The chickens, rabbits and goats have all been tended to. Along with the pig, ferrett, dogs and cats.

The house has been swept and mopped for the first time today. And most of laundry is washed and being dried in the dryer. i hate useing it but with the weather dont really have a choice. James is sweeping and mopping the porch now.

After breakfast there is school for the children and i have to go to the post office, then to get my license renewed, then to chemo. Yep it is a full day to say the least.

Dinner tonight will be simple i am going to make green beans and biscuits for the family to take to the church thanksgiving day dinner. Thank God for that tonight as with the day i am going to have eating is not going to be a big thing for me.

So that is the goings on around this country homestead. I pray that each of you have a blessed day.

pictures from around the house

Our home is not fancy but it is home. And i am so happy with this little home. Here are a few pictures of around the house.

Crocheted rugs

Here is two of my latest crocheted rugs. I so love these and to make them is so easy. I am now starting to work on a large one for my living room. I use only reused clothing and old sheets for my rugs. This way they cost me nothing except for my time. My goal is to have these in the whole house. It just makes a house feel so warm and inviting. have a blessed day.

Tuesday doctors Visit

Hello all, I pray that each of you have had a blessed day. Well went to the doctor today and found out that i get to have a few more test on my heart. It is all going to be ok i have such faith honestly.

Around the homestead we have pulled down kitchen cabinets that well needed to come down as some were falling on my head no joke. We put in open shelves and the children painted the walls and bottom cabinets. I have to admit i so love my kitchen. Now to work on the bedroom and the bathroom. little bits of things here and there to make this house a home for the children and i.

more to come...
