Happy Homemaker In Texas


Good Morning. Welcome to my Saturday feature . . .


I join Sandra.  She provides most of the prompts.  I add a few of my own when things pop into my head.

Let's get with it!

The weather . . . B.B.B.Brrr! Winter kind of  in my neck of the woods.  On Friday we had sun and 40 mile an hour winds! 

We'll have wintery weather for the week. But mostly sun upper 30's in the morning then upper 60' in the afternoon.

On the breakfast plate . . . I am thinking Pancakes today.  Wonder what the Cowboy will suggest.

I am wearing . . . Warm fleece pants for outside then I strip down to shorts and a tank for inside.


Things that

 make me happy . . .

Dr. Pepper.  

My dogs.  

Sunshine.

On my the menu . . . 

Monday Mussels over Angel Hair Pasta, Salad (from the garden) a Baguette

Tuesday Back to Taco's again. We really do love 💕 them!

Wednesday Leftover Ham I cooked on Saturday, Scalloped Potatoes and Broccoli from . . . Guess where!

Thursday . . . Pork Cutlets, Stuffing and Green Beans 

Friday . . . Split Pea Soup with Ham, B.L.T.'s 

The To Do List . . .

P.T. on Monday no stopping at Mexican Market.  Payday on Wednesday.

Plan a grocery list.  We get paid this week so I will get all my house supplies.  And fill the freezer.  We ne d fresh fruit and veggies too.

The Cowboy is having knee replacement.  On Monday I need to call and schedule a dental check before they can schedule surgery.

Always on the list Vacuum,sweep and mop 

I need to mow leaves didn't get it done last week.

Check if seeds are out at ACE hardware.  Maybe go to Tractor Supply on Thursday after payday to check on seeds and bulbs.

Still working on organizing books after moving shelves.

I wrote about the chaos over Here

Still trying to get the Studio organized.

And still trying to keep up with putting away clean laundry.


My 'Ta Da' moment . . .  I managed to get all laundry washed and clean the pile of stuff from in front of dryer.  I can sweep and mop now!

Still have my clothes to put away.

I am reading now . .  .


On my TBR pile . . . 

I have a pile right now.  Lots if ARCs for tours, lot's of freebies from Christmas.   

Here are a few




In the garden . . . There is so much I want to do.  

I want to add a row of climbing Green Beans to shelter the Broccoli bed.

I want to start a bigger bed for Okra.

I am thinking of adding a bed  along the fence for more Green Beans.

Only planning 1 to 4 Tomato plants.  The Cowboy really doesn't like them.  But he likes Salsa so maybe we need to talk! 😎🍅🌮

 Planning more space for Cucumber 🥒 and Corn 🌽

In the studio . . . I had a super productive week last week.  I was able to write a post about my Journaling.  

My post is over Here

I have organized a lot and moved things around so I can be more productive. 

We have agreed I need a new work surface.  The table I moved in a few weeks ago is o.k. but doesn't really fill my needs and it is too big.

So I am shopping for a replacement.  I am hoping to find a desk with a hutch that I can afford. 

Coming soon . . .



To relax this week I will . . .

For weeks I have been wanting to go the library.

Or just sit in the greenhouse and look at my magazines

From the camera . . .

The wind was so cold I on my big coat with hood and the beer a quilt and down filled throw! Lola was guarding me from Lizards!

Scripture/Devo. 



I hope your week is Sparkly!








Linking at the parties

We saw the sunshine late yesterday afternoon for about 15 minutes. It's amazing how much better the sun makes you feel.

Sunshine makes me happy as well! I can tell you that locally, our Tractor Supply didn't have seeds out yesterday. However, your store might as you are quite a bit south of me. I think my husband said Mernards had some. Hope you find some. Think we're all starting to hit the point of January where thoughts of Spring come into our mind a bit more. Have a great week!

We had sun this morning, clouds this afternoon, and snow this evening! Our weather is always changing. Since I had a quiet day at home planned I cooked up a whole turkey for dinner and tomorrow night will most likely be take out with 3 of my guys getting haircuts right at 5 pm
