Hello and HAPPY SATURDAY! I am happy to report we have bright, sunny skies and the temps should reach 40 degrees today! Yee-Haw. Maybe we’ll be able to get the door open on the potting shed today so we can get the potting bench all set up. 😉 It’s been sitting in the garage for a week now and I’m ready to get it out of there.
On the agenda for today:
- Bake Cookies
- Finish mini bee rug
- Make a pot of soup {or beans and rice} for dinner
- Fold laundry that’s been sitting on my bed for 2 days
- Clean out fridge
- Recycle and look for treasures
- Return movies to library
- Let the chickens out of the coop this afternoon to free range
How about YOU? Do you have anything exciting planned for today? Do tell.
Have a great weekend everyone,
♥ Mavis & Lucy

The pet steps are awesome! So strong that an adult can sit on them. And, they won’t break?
Rebecca in MD says
I made a big pot of bean soup for dinner earlier this week and we are having leftovers tonight – – – – no cooking Saturday for me! I used navy beans (soaked overnight), Better than Bouillon along with homemade chicken stock, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes, 1 TBSP tomato paste, fresh chopped garlic, dried basil and parsley, a cubed ham steak, and a generous pinch of dried red pepper flakes. Soups are so comforting this time of year.

Watch “Paddleton” on Netflix…but stock up on tissues. It is a tearjerker. Really well written and acted…Happy weekend. A beautiful day to be alive!

It’s been a bit warmer in Illinois too. It’s funny how 40 sounds warm now! In a few months 40 will seem freezing cold! Today was rainy so it was a good day to clean up inside.
