There you have it folks - that is what I've been doing since late last week. Sharing elderberry syrup with the little babe (a teaspoon for you, a teaspoon for me) and drinking echinacea tea non-stop. We seem to have picked up the daycare kid germs when we visited my parent's house. I told the little babe to not chew on the toys and this is what happened when she didn't listen. So I've been taking it a bit slow; no morning runs for a couple days. I've been feeling pretty crafty though; I think it is the sudden cold weather. I feel a need to make warm things, so there has been some sewing going on. (I'll share in a later post.) To warm up our bellies, we had some pita bread, puffed apple pancakes, and beet fritters this weekend.
My husband fired up the woodstove on Saturday morning because it was supposed to drop into the twenties over the weekend. We have been using the heating system, turned on low, because he hasn't had time to clean the woodstove. The job is now done, woodstove is cranking, the little babe has been reminded about the perils of touching it, and the dogs are happy once more. (I promise Chip isn't dead, he just was really out of it!)
I foraged some bittersweet from the local park and am enjoying how it looks on the ledge behind our woodstove.
I finally got my husband to hang our antique stained glass window. We bought it years ago at the Brimfield Antique Show, paying way too much for it. Now I just need some late Autumn afternoon sun to shine through.
I'll let Monk-man wish you a Happy Monday! He is happy because he can see again. I had to do some emergency sewing after he lost his eyes, twice, to the dogs.
Happy Monday!
