Prairie Biscuit way of life

Oh what a slacker I have been (to my blog at least)

This has been a busy time so I have been letting my blog slide down a slippery slope...Time to pick it back up and do it right once more.  Lets see...I have had alot of company...I canned a few things...grape jelly that taste wonderful and looks nothing like it taste..heehee...an old family recipe relish that had minimul directions....it looks beautiful...let us hope it taste the same.  One of my chicks hatched out but shortly died...it was a bit premature by about a week according to my dates...noone else is moving around much.  Our critter count made a jump in numbers since I started slacking...We now have 2 big white geese and a new kitten that likes to attack toes.  I will try to get some picture up later today. 

After the "tropical depression" Ike made its way past us yesterday we had wind gust up to 60 miles per hour.  Needless to say my yard is a disaster.  Again...I will be taking pictures.  The kids and I are planning on getting outside and cleaning up what we can today.  Now...I am going to go ahead with my Simple Woman's day journal right now...

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW...a wonderful September day not too hot but sunny but my poor yard is a wreck after the wind storm

I AM THINKING...we will get alot done today!

I AM THANKFUL FOR...having this farm to take care of even when there is lots to be done.

FROM THE KITCHEN...the smell of bannana nut muffin from the oven...nearly done!  (don't get excited...it is a mix)

I AM CREATING...a menu I can stick with...gonna shoot for 4 days first....then work my way up to a full week....BABY STEPS!!!

I AM GOING...outside shortly to clean up!

I AM WEARING...pjs still...I was so excited to find some that fit again..I should have cleaned out my "fat clothes" long ago!

I AM READING..."How to cut your bills in half"  It is a cool book with lots of ideas and recipes for lots of things...even fertilizers!

I AM HOPING...to get most of the yard work done today.

I AM HEARING...J.R barking at the squirrel...we have lots of them with all these hardwoods everywhere.

AROUND THE HOUSE...kids are busy getting themselves ready for an active day of school and yard work.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...Betty Crocker muffin mixes....just add water and poof.....quick, easy, better than a scented candle and the kids love them!!

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK...get caught up with blog (slacker)..get a set of chickens...hatch out a few of my own...get the farm put back together after that storm...and all my usual things!

HERE IS A PICTURE THOUGHT I AM SHARING WITH YOU...

I'll have to check out that book. With the way the economy is we all need it!
Blessings for your week.
