~Around the House~

 

For weeks I've been wanting to sit down and write a new post.  Ideally I would like to post once a week, maybe I can make it a priority! Here are some pictures from our beautiful, ordinary life. I made a Spring decoration for the front door. I found the flowers at Dollar General, I already had the basket. Actually, Ive had this basket for years, it's flat on the back so hangs nicely on a door or wall. 

These are some pillows I bought last year on sale at Dollar General. I added a heart to one and a quirky cottage to the other. I like them! :) 

Moses is singing..."swamp fox, swamp fox, tail on his hat, no one knows where the swamp is at..." it is from this old Disney movie (maybe?) about Francis Marion in the Revolutionary war. Well, the kids enjoy it! 

Remember that feedsack fabric I bought at a yard sale? I used some of it to make a curtain for our kitchen window. 

Here the chickens are following me for a bit while I'm on my walk. When they figure out I don't have a treat for them they meander on.

I've started selling our eggs from the front porch.  The boys and I made a nice wooden sign that's out by the road. When we first started we had several customers but lately, we haven't had any, we've been giving them away to friends.  I hope business picks up! 

Just Moses living his best life...

In Spiritual news: we are in lent, Pascha (Easter) for the Orthodox church is not until May 5.  We have attended more services due to Lent and reading a Lenten family devotional that we have really enjoyed! It was a gift from a dear friend.  

I have been expanding my culinary skills by trying to make meals my husband will enjoy in Lent and also sustain him.  I made up this Asian noodle dish with a peanut sauce I whipped up and then added some water chestnuts.  It would have been nice to add some stir fry veggies but I was in a hurry that evening! Another night I found some cooked quinoa in the refrigerator which turned into "fried rice" quinoa. He liked it! 

Thanks for stopping by!
