I have worked so hard these last few weeks weeding, digging and shaking clumps of grass in my flowerbeds and I managed to tidy up 5 large flowerbbeds. I am happy but tired.
I didn't sleep well last night and kept waking up with hot flashes. It happens at every change of seasons.
I was late for work this morning and felt like sleeping in. Today being a wet day I worked inside and cleaned the veggie crisper in the fridge. My celery was getting disgusting and I salvaged what I could and made a big pot of beef, vegetable and barley soup. My husband, the hired hand and myself ate our fill at lunch time and I put the rest in my soup tureen to cool. My husband invited my son to come to get some hot soup and my son arrived famished and took home a full container of soup and there was only a small container left. There was nothing wrong with the soup, as a matter of fact, it was very delicious.
I made my spoon cheese and garlic biscuits and they are usually so light and yummy but today my mind was a little off. I didn't had buttermilk so as usual I use some vinegar to add to the milk as a substitute.
When it came time to add the oil, I grabbed the container of vinegar instead of the oil jug and poured the 1/3 cup into my milk. The milk curdled right away, ha,ha,ha. I poured out some of the milk out and added some more fresh milk, just guessing approximately and added my oil, mixed the soft dough and spooned it on the pan and into the hot oven. All this time thinking how good they were gonna be with the soup. I set the timer on. After a few minutes I looked and they are puffing up, oh goodie.... and went to the garage to put something in the recycle bin. I got sidetracked on my way back to the kitchen, ha,ha,ha, and looked at a sales flyer that was on the freezer.
I was multitasking of course and doing laundry and folding clothes and there are buzzers on all sorts of appliances these days. I heard the buzzer go off on the dryer and it has a wrinkle free feature and will buzz every now and then until you tend to it. I never heard the oven timer go off so I didn't knew that it had gone off . Then all of a sudden, it dawned on me that my biscuits should be about ready to come out of the oven. They are supposed to look like the ones you get at Red Lobster but these were overcooked. The boys saids that they were still good but I was really disappointed with myself for not hearing the timer.
They were way overcooked but not burned so they were edible.
I had been looking at the sale flyer because I was planning to go back to the Co-op after lunch to buy some butter on sale for $2.97 and some Barilla spaghetti that I can eat,
The 100 paver bricks I bought yesterday for my flowerbed before going to work at the farm needed to be unloaded out of my van first. Those things are too heavy to carry around everywhere.
I grabbed a light black pair of clean socks and a grey pair of work socks from the laundry basket and went and sat on the garage step to put them on when I noticed that one of my black sock was missing. Darn it, I know I had two of each colors. So I took one boot off and and went back in the house and picked another clean black sock and went back in the garage and when I sat down, I noticed that I had put on two black sock on my left foot.
I managed to get it right this time and put my boots and my raincoat on to unload the bricks but decided that something was telling me that I better not get on the road with my brain on reverse so I decided to work inside the house instead and forget about the sale. It might save me some money in the long run.
After finishing up in the calf area, I swept the floor and cleaned my broom by tapping it gently on the floor and broke the handle off at the base. Come to think of it, my day wasn't all that bad, the soup was good. I got an email from Christine and photos of Daniel.
He's 10.5 weeks old, over 2 feet long, nearing 14 pounds and filling his six months cloths. He still wakes up to eat 2 to 3 times a night, and smiles off camera.
So how was your day?
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the Moms.
Thanks for visiting and I hope that you are having a good day. Please leave a comment.
