Homemaking Days of Mine

 

Hello! 

I hope your enjoying your 

homemaking day! 

It's been mostly cloudy here 

with a bit of sunshine is coming through.

It's been a mix of snow and then sunshine...

as well as lots of wind.  

Inside there are things growing. 

Like my lemon oregano bush that I up potted this week.

It smells so nice when I brush up against the leaves.

I also planted up some onions that had sprouted in my pantry.

Below is the tray of lettuce and spinach 

sitting on the oil monitor stove in the dinning room.

I almost planted radishes between the rows and then 

decided not to. 

Here are some trays of herbs and flowers that 

have started to grow. 

I'll need to separate them out quite soon into

separate pots. 

Some for us and some for the local community market.

Inside the house smells like fresh bread.

I also have a sourdough loaf rising to be baked later in the day.

This past weekend we enjoyed some sliding fun with friends,

and a hot dog roast as well.

Winter fun is still happening!

With spring comes the desire to eat more eggs. 

Does that happen in your family? 

Below are some "fancy" eggs that we make.

It's just scrambled eggs with some peppers, onions,

spinach and ham tossed in. 

There is some dripping going on! 

With the temperature rising above freezing we are starting to get

a few icicles forming.  
This one has been growing for quite some time and we are wondering 

if it will reach the ground before something happens to it.

We still have a lot of snow...but spring is coming....

and I have a feeling we'll have some pretty 

cool puddles to navigate. 

It is nice to have lots of things to enjoy and look forward to.

Homemaking is a joy.

Lots of variety and room for creativity. 

Praying you have a blessed day! 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer

Homemaking Mondays: Friends Share Life's Journey

 

Hello! 
Isn't that a beautiful truth. 

I thank the Lord Jesus for all the friends 

He has placed in my life. 

In person and online.

The above hand towel is a gift from a friend 

as are the two banneton baskets. 

She and I share a love for making things in the kitchen.

It's so beautiful when we can 

acknowledge those simple things.

A loaf of bread...a cup of tea.

It may seem simple but over the years

those little things are precious. 

Along with the banneton baskets....

this time I used my grain mill to grind some rice flour.

It is better to use in the baskets instead of just a towel.  

The flour is not glutenous and so it doesn't 

allow the bread to stick the same. 

Of course you have to wet the basket down before adding

the rice flour to it.  

It looks so pretty when you turn it out to be baked. 

I like it better then using a towel in them.

I was wanting some comfort food this past week.

I pulled out my recipe binder and made some

apple crisp...along with whipped cream.

Today I made some blueberry buckle as well.

The little seedlings are doing well. 

Below the cosmos are getting their feathery leaves.

I potted up the tomatoes from their little

peat starter pots. 

I always take off the netting before planting in the soil.

They are doing well and if the Lord wills

we shall have lots of tomatoes growing.

It has been a lovely week.  

Lots to do, but also lots of time to enjoy 

the company of family and friends.

Thank you for dropping by!
Love and Prayers,

Jennifer

Homemaking Mondays: The Beauty God Brings

Hello! 
It is a lovely wintery March day today.

The mercury is rising some through the day 

so that is nice and later this week it'll be warmer. 

Then the windows can once again be opened 

to freshen up the house. 

I am sorry I've been a bit quiet. 

A couple weeks ago I lost a dear friend of mine.

It is hard to say goodbye. 

I treasure the memories and times the Lord 

gave for us to share. 

The Lord has been freshening up our home 

with the beautiful flowers

that are opening and giving a beautiful light scent

to the room.

Have you ever smelled a grape hyacinth? 

Delicate and sweet!

                                        

There are still little tiny rosemary seedlings coming

in the new terrarium. 

  

There are tomato seedlings that are ready to be 

transplanted into pots.

Hopefully I can get that done today.

It is so hard when starting seeds.  

You look at the trays and all the little plants....

and then have to think ahead to how big they will 

become before going outside. 

There is only so much room next to the windows. 

So planning carefully is important.

I still always end up moving furniture to accommodate more 

before it's safe outside.

As there is lovely growing things inside...

winter is still far from over here. 

I went with a couple of  my children to go sledding

with some of their friends.

The below picture is the top of the sledding hill

where you can see for miles! 

Perfect day to be out...

the only wind was what you felt

flying down the hill.

There were skidoo rides up to the top and so I joined in the fun 

a couple of times. 

A bit sore today...but it was so worth it! 

It has been a bit since I have done a whole lot in the kitchen 

as far as fun baking.

My children have been wonderful and have been taking care of 

things as I've been busy doing things

for my friend who passed away.

I made bread...and then my daughter sliced it up

boiled some fresh eggs, sliced some cheese

and laid out a nice meal for us. 

The Lord is good to us in all the little details of life.

May we always keep in mind 

eternity.

That we can put every aspect of life into 

it's proper place. 

Love and Prayers,

Jennifer
