Yawn, stretch, throw on some pants and back to it.
But it’s taking a whole lot of will power to get up and go. It’s just too perfect out to do much of anything. Is it weird that I love this cold and rainy weather? These are the days that I can spend all day in a ball of blankets on the couch next to a window looking out with hot beverages and good books.. I will get there soon, but not today. We started tiling the bathroom wall yesterday and need to finish it, along with he rest of the house.
This week flew by fast. It included a very quick foliage drive(stopped by a river so the mr could fly fish), Barbara turning 17 while watching her field hockey game, a tiny little baby that fell in love with me and wants me to be it’s new mommy, and the scraping and painting of so much everything. I think the highlight was when the 17 year old Barb stopped by the house to bring us coffee, hung out with us, and lent me her sweater that I love but probably won’t ever get a chance to wear cause all I wear are grubby, paint stained clothes. But none the less, it was great and maybe I’ll just wear the sweater to bed. And the colors. Every time I walk out of the house and see all the trees, all the colors…it just blows my mind. So good.
Other then that, not much else. I am giving myself a political detox for a few days before i barf, eating lots of roasted celeriac and missing my kitchen. I can’t freaking wait to spend all day cooking in baking in my kitchen. I can’t freakin wait!
And now I got to find those pants.

Hey hey hey.
Crazy freaking past month. I still feel like half of my person is gone and am still trudging through each day feeling the loss of Washer, but things are getting better, just still really sad and miss my pup like crazy. Trick is to stay super busy and that is what I have been doing. For one, we started back at the house again and have thrown ourselves into work. We are determined to get this freaking house done before the end of fall so we have been busting away all the days long. Things are getting done and now all the sheet rock is all up and the mr just finished the tape coat of mud…. Its all roses from here.
For another thing, there is so much family stuff lately and to be soon. A new baby just came , little miss Kayla (I keep calling her Keba), We had a family reunion, minus a few family member last week. I have lots of littles wanting attention before school starts again and oh, my little brother is getting shipped of to military school this week, (an actual military college that he actually wants to go too). Add another baby due in a month and the fact that fall is coming on fast and that means only one thing .. Family birthday season has arrived. Well that and apples. But no joke, pretty much a birthday a week for the next 9 months. I already have about 7 cake requests. It’s about to get real around here.
As for cooking, well when Washer died, I pretty much stopped living for a week, but then when I started cooking again, I went through a week of making breads for the mr. (bread is very soothing to make, I think it’s all the kneading) And then it got so super duper hella hot out that we have pretty much given up on preparing food and are just eating straight up cucumbers, zucchinis, and tomatoes, sometimes dipped inn mustard and hummus, by the bucketful. I think I am averaging about 3 cucumbers and 5 tomatoes a day. And now I am starting to get a bit of acid reflux. Hopefully this week won’t be quite as crazy or quite as hot and I will have a little bit more time do some actual cooking, maybe some canning ( so many tomatoes!) and maybe share a recipe or 2.Lots of maybes here… we shall see.
Anyway, it is Sunday Sunday. The mr and I are leaving the house early and going for a little car, coffee, and maybe river adventure and are picking up a cast iron claw foot tub for the bathroom on the way. Wish us luck!

I have been having some crazy dreams lately, especially the past few nights (spring time and the full moon will do that to me) But waking up this morning I realized that I need to know someone that has or is willing to get a weiner dog and name it Hamburger. That person will be my best friend.
Anyway, besides from the lingering illness that made me feel like complete shit and took my voice away for about a week, things have been rolling right along. I got a good clip of work done this week (making phone calls without a voice was a challenge) and the house is still standing strong. And let’s just give mother nature a high five here cause the weather has been aces, well besides the snow on Monday. Warm, but not to hot. A little rain here and there. There is green stuff every where! The lilacs are all bloomed and smelling up the world in the best way possible, my strawberry plants are starting to make their strawberries and my rhubarb patch is out of control. So much, so good. This is definitely my favorite time of the year.
And it’s Sunday, my favorite day(usually) cause it’s our day to relax, or at least pretend to, and drink all the coffee in the world. Today though, I think I am going to be productive in my free time and do a bit of yard work and some gardening. I got some veggies starts in need of dirt and am going to planting a few more things (some zinnas, sunflowers and lots of kale). I am even thinking that this is the day I give the dog a bath (he smells nasty) or maybe give the mr a hair cut. (I say he either needs to cut it or go all out and do a man bun) At least one of them has to go down today…..
Things I saw on the internet.

-Making one in my very near future. Everything You Need to Know About Hotdish

Now have yourself a fantastic day!
-C
t’s go time! Today is just the first of the few Thanksgiving dinners that I will be attending. (This one is my family with all the siblings and the littles.. big fun!) I made a pie (I’ll post it soon) and maybe if I get to it, I’ll make some bread. (but probably not)
So big news… Tomorrow the mr and I are closing on a house.. WHAT!!! And not just another rental property. This is a bona-fide single family, little brick bungalow…. with a yard!
It’s crazy. We have never lived without tentants, let alone a single family.It’s going to be magical! And walls! Living in a 200 square foot room for the past year ash a half has really made me appreciate the merits of a good quality door. But I need to hold my horses cause we are not moving in right away. There is a bit (maybe a bit more then a bit) of work that needs to be done to the place (few walls moved, maybe the roof jacked up.. new kithen and bathrooms..etc) All fun stuff, but stuff that needs to be done. So yeah,. Crazy crazy, busy busy.
But other then that news, I gots the holidays on my mind and am already thinking of where to stick the Christams tree. I am also contemplating weather I shoud even bother sticking the snow tires on the car this year (still no snow here in vt… it’s unreal) and decided that if we don’t get snow before christmas that we will have to sell the new house and just move to Alaska.
Anyways. Are you ready for this week? Are you preplanning, pre baking, pre everything. Or are you a, do it all the day of, kinda person? Whatever your plans, just make sure not to stress to much and to carve (pun intended) out some time for yourself, to do you things.

Another week gone by and another week without snow, except for yesterday morning. I got to enjoy a brief ½ walk with the pup in the wee hours of the morning to see the tiny dusting that developed over night. But even that was gone by mid morning. I am bumming here. I Want SNOW!
And I know that it isn’t for another 11 day, but Thanksgiving. It’s it 11 DAYS! That’s 10 more day to contemplate pies and sides and all the things that could be made into existence. (I spend way too much time thinking about different pie variations, it actually causes me headaches.)
So what about you? Are you feeling the slight buzz of the holiday crazy yet? Are you a planner or a procrastinator, or are you just a guest and hanging pretty with nothing to worry about? Me. I am a planner but usually deviate from said plan and do something completely on the fly. What can I say; I have an overactive mind and am a bit indecisive about things. But the little bit of buzz…. that’s part of the fun. Just as long as a little crazy doesn’t turn into a lot of crazy, then I am good.
And as for my Sunday plans, I think the mr, the pup, and I are going to pack up and head for higher ground to get us some snow, although I should be doing so many things around here. Hum.. Chores or snow, we shall see!
Hope you are where you are having a relaxing fun day!

Hey there people! How’s it going? Good right.. cause it’s SUNDAY!
Ok, so I know that some people don’t like sundays, but me, it’s my day. The one day of the week that I try to do as little crap as possible and relax, It also means the house is spotless, the fridge is stocked, (so so so stocked..a farm share and garden explosion!) and the sheets have been changed on the bed…. I LOVE clean sheets!
This past week was for sure one of those dragging, nagging, just want it to be over type of weeks. Why? I am not exactly sure. We have had us some good time; a back to school dinner, banana ice cream cake, garden time and a few playground trips. But I think I am just feeling the pull towards fall and am just clicking the days away until we have the crisp cold days full of apple, pumpkins, cozy sweaters, and colorful leaves. Call me crazy, but I can’t wait for the warm weather to GO AWAY!
Anyway, today I am going to relax a bit. Maybe I’ll finish my book, restart my knitting (I have knitted about 3 hats and keep pulling them apart because I don’t end up liking them.. I have pattern commitment issues) or do a little more painting. (on canvas, not walls). I hope to take the mr and the pup for a little hike and of course, drink a much coffee as my heart can handle.
How about you? Got any plans for the day?
Note about picture above…. Saw the stuffed bear on a walk with the pup.. He went BATSHIT when he saw it. I don’t know how I even managed to take a picture cause he was barking like an ass at the thing…. Thats my dog.
Here is internet stuff from the week
-No more squares on Instagram. I am not going to lie, haven’t noticed
-Uh, no shit. Turns Out Sarcastic People Really Are Better at Everything
-Can You Use That In A Sentence? Dictionary Adds New Words…Awesomsauce!
-Plants all around!!!
– This house and this house
-Why isn’t this happening everywhere? Streamlined Berlin Grocery Store Creates No Packaging Waste
–If only I had a library.. These are tops!
-The Complete Guide to Gluten Free Baking. Thanks King Arthur Flour!
-Human Face Coffee Lids.. hahaha
-Indiana Brewery Is Now Making a Beer for Dogs. I know my pup would like one.
And a few pictures from the week (All taken with my I phone 4.. I kept forgetting my camera)

THE LOVELY CRAZY
March 19, 2017 by maximios • Blog
Yawn, stretch, throw on some pants and back to it.
But it’s taking a whole lot of will power to get up and go. It’s just too perfect out to do much of anything. Is it weird that I love this cold and rainy weather? These are the days that I can spend all day in a ball of blankets on the couch next to a window looking out with hot beverages and good books.. I will get there soon, but not today. We started tiling the bathroom wall yesterday and need to finish it, along with he rest of the house.
This week flew by fast. It included a very quick foliage drive(stopped by a river so the mr could fly fish), Barbara turning 17 while watching her field hockey game, a tiny little baby that fell in love with me and wants me to be it’s new mommy, and the scraping and painting of so much everything. I think the highlight was when the 17 year old Barb stopped by the house to bring us coffee, hung out with us, and lent me her sweater that I love but probably won’t ever get a chance to wear cause all I wear are grubby, paint stained clothes. But none the less, it was great and maybe I’ll just wear the sweater to bed. And the colors. Every time I walk out of the house and see all the trees, all the colors…it just blows my mind. So good.
Other then that, not much else. I am giving myself a political detox for a few days before i barf, eating lots of roasted celeriac and missing my kitchen. I can’t freaking wait to spend all day cooking in baking in my kitchen. I can’t freakin wait!

I have pattern commitment issues) or do a little more painting. (on canvas, not walls). I hope to take the mr and the pup for a little hike and of course, drink a much coffee as my heart can handle.
How about you? Got any plans for the day?
Note about picture above…. Saw the stuffed bear on a walk with the pup.. He went BATSHIT when he saw it. I don’t know how I even managed to take a picture cause he was barking like an ass at the thing…. Thats my dog.
