I sure don't know where all my energy came from, but I was going like a house afire in a high wind. We had all our running around town done quickly yesterday morning and were back home around 9 o'clock. I got the groceries put away and made the banana bread that I had promised. Then I cleaned, blanched and put the fresh broccoli in the freezer. Next, I washed and stripped the collards -- ready for cooking. I mixed up my meatloaf, chocked full of bell peppers and had that ready to pop in the oven. I fixed buttery mashed potatoes and biscuits. The meal was topped off with homemade banana pudding. I finally took a coffee/tat break.
The aromas from last night's country supper are still hanging in the air this morning. I'll have to break out the Febreeze and room freshener. Perhaps a few scented candles will be in order as well.
I hope everyone has a happy day.
Time never passed this quickly when I was working! I can't believe that it is already November. Time to start making the cranberry relish and pounds and pounds of pound cake.
It was wonderful to be able to see dawn break this morning at 6:30 a.m., but then again, it won't be as much fun to see the sun set at 5:30 p.m.
There was some drizzling going on this morning when I got up. Hubby and I always play a game when it rains, which is rarely around the Bucolic Bungalow. We guess the amount before he checks the gauge. If you go over the correct amount, you lose. This morning I guessed 0.09. Hubby guessed 0.11. I suppose he had more faith that it rained during the night. Well, he won! It was 1.0. One whole inch. I don't mind losing that game. That is wonderful.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful first day of this new month.
