#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 01 JAN 2024 - 07 JAN 2024
Good morning, Steemians! 😊
We had a bottling day on Monday; for our home brewed beer, and this is a shot of all the freshly sanitized bottles waiting to be filled. 😊
We also bottled up the plum “juice” we made from the plums our friend gifted to us. It has a beautiful colour but tastes more like a tart wine than a juice to me, so my handsome husband will be enjoying these. 😊
The always lovely Dawn, (the brown and white one on the right,) and a few of her friends stopping in for a snack. 😊
Just a few of the Evening Grosbeaks that were hanging out with us over at the neighbour’s place. 😊
There were quite a group of them, and they kept swapping out between two different trees, but none of my pictures of the swaps came out clear enough to post. 😊
My handsome husband made us a couple beautiful loaves of bread this week. One was a cinnamon raisin bread, and the other was this garlic/pepper/tomato loaf…kind of like the one you can get from the Swiss Chalet restaurants…only ours was short and round instead of long and thin. We decided to make homemade Sloppy Joes out of the last few pieces of it, (shown here,) and they were so good. 😊
I’m almost done processing our 2023 pumpkins…only two left of the 36 that we had on the pallet. 😊
Today was spent cleaning the house, vacuuming, catching the laundry back up and baking. I made a few batches of sugar/butter cookies and another Impossible pie for my handsome husband to enjoy. 😊
I also took some time to cut up approximately 20 pounds of tallow. I filled the slow cooker with as much as would fit and it’s been slowly rendering all day too. 😊
This is how the tallow looked when I finished getting our supper into the Instant Pot. 😊
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊
