A New Week

 Good Morning,

We've had our walk, we walked one and a half miles this morning. It was around 48 degrees when we started out. It is now 61 so more pleasant. So much different than a few weeks ago. My idea would be days in the 70s and nights in the 50s.

Our leaves are only starting to turn color but some are falling to the ground. It is interesting how different houses are decorating for Fall or Halloween. I, myself, do not decorate for Halloween, only Fall. 



I have an artificial pumpkin out there but I didn't get a picture.

Tomorrow Daughter and I are driving to Birmingham to a meeting. Then on Saturday, we're going back there to meet up with the princess for lunch. It will be her 20th Birthday. Amazing! She is our youngest Grandchild. She is attending Auburn University and Birmingham is about half way for the meet up. We're supposed to have lunch at Cheesecake Factory.

Saturday, I made a pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup. I left the black beans and corn out of the recipe so it wouldn't be so high carb. I did add one can of chili beans but there would be only a small amount in each bowl. We do eat carbs on the weekend but we try to still limit them. I'm hoping I reach my goal when I weigh in on Friday. Then I may set a new goal.  We'll see.

Do you decorate for Fall, Halloween?

Have you made any good food Lately?

A Simple Woman at home...

Today is Thursday, April 2, 2020
Outside my window I can see the chickens
in their pen...pink azeleas and ground
cover blooms in purple, yellow and blue...a blue bird on
the suet...
I am wearing black knit pants and a black & White
striped top...
I am reading The Pearl Brooch by Katherine
Lowry Logan
In the Kitchen pantry we are well stocked as
we picked up a Kroger order on Tuesday...
The house is sort of clean as the girls
came to clean on Tuesday...
Plans for the day include a walk and
a plan for lunch and dinner that
I haven't made yet....
As for as my stitching and quilting:
I haven't been working on anything...I 
was all set to put together the 
blocks and borders of my Maple Leaf Quilt
and make the sandwich at retreat March 23-25..
but that was canceled and I guess I haven't
been motivated to do it since...
Hope you are not too bored or
depressed by the present situation...
Sheltering in place...
