Weekly Wrap-Up 3/28

 Good morning to all.  It is the last Sunday of the month and Palm Sunday - the beginning of Holy week.  I hope it finds you well and safe.

We had storms again over night (2nd time this week) which made for an uneasy night of sleep.  I am kind of tired this morning.  The moon was glorious if you got a chance to see it this AM.  It was huge and oh so bright and it looked close - like you could reach  out and grab it.  So beautiful.

We had a pretty mild week, with nice temps.  We did get a bad wind storm on Thursday night.  That was pretty scary.

Everything has greened up so much.  Stuff is coming to life.  The butterfly bush, peonies, roses, rhubarb, onions (from last year) and chives are all popping up or budding out.  The magnolia trees are just beautiful - but that will end quickly this week - as we are supposed to have 3 night below freezing.  It happens almost every year.

Mr. Woodchuck is awake!!!!  UGH.  He woke pretty early this year - last year I believe it was at least May.

My week:

• I fixed 2 downspouts that kept coming apart
• Have picked up limbs and sticks EVERY single day!  Between the wind and the squirrels it has kept me in exercise mode!  The squirrels are making new nests and they keep chewing off small branches - most end up on the ground!
• I did make a grocery store run - for fresh fruit and juice only
• My neighbor mowed my front yard with his riding mower.  The whole yard will need mowed for the first time this coming week!
• Cut 2 bouquets of daffodils and forsythia this week
• Fixed the screen on my kitchen door
• Used up all leftovers
• Did make a run for squirrel corn and also got some onion sets
• Cleaned up a flower bed down the west side of house
• Just doing all the normal stuff.
• Got to air out the house on 5 days this week - no heat on!

My meals this past week:

Broccoli & cheese rice with ground beef added

Dirty rice w/tomatoes added and 2 hotdogs (precooked from freezer)

Chef salad

Chicken strips, fries and salad

Deconstructed cabbage roll skillet (used leftover dirty rice/w toms)

Cabbage skillet and garlic toast

Smoked sausage sandwich, mac n cheese (freezer) and shredded broccoli salad

What have you done this week?  Have you been able to get any outside work done?  There is always so much to do.  I am making my list of things I need to accomplish.

I pray for comfort and guidance for all here.  We have had a couple of readers (that I know of) that have had great losses this week.  Donna lost her nephew and Crystal lost her son suddenly this week.  Please keep them in your prayers.  

Blessings from my humble little home to you and yours.

Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Jesus Christ for you.  

I Thessalonians 5:16-18
