#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 15 JAN 2024 - 21 JAN 2024
Good morning, Steemians! 😊
It’s been another busy week here on the homestead. Lots of baking, cleaning, cooking, and of course laundry, the excitement never ends here. LOL! It’s how we like it. We also like making our own brown sugar at home. 😊
Our handsome bull, Prince Lee, played in the snow while my squirrel friend and I watched. 😊
After he finished watching Prince Lee, my squirrel friend chatted with me. 😊
Pumpkin cookies, these are my new favourite. 😊
Sorry about the quality on this one…its from behind a window, but I thought all the Blue Jays grabbing a snack together was nice and wanted to share it. 😊
Our view after the snow stopped falling. 😊
A new friend gifted us some barley and we did an experiment to see if they were viable, as he wasn’t sure they would be. They are! 😊
Each tray we’ve started seems to take about three days to start sprouting. 😊
I made a double batch of my mother-in-law’s coffee cake recipe this week and they’re almost gone, so yummy. 😊
Homemade tortillas with some fresh tomatoes from our 3-year-old house tomato plant, they’re a sweet tomato and she blesses us with them year-round. 😊
My handsome husband and I were so happy to see the Snow Buntings finally arriving this week, we’ve missed these little cuties. 😊
I’m by no means a natural when it comes to baking; (maybe because I didn’t really start baking from scratch until the plan-demic hit; before that we were take-out and pre-packaged, if I’m being totally honest,) but this week I tried to adapt a recipe by changing/substituting ingredients. My experiment to adapt my banana bread to pumpkin bread turned out well and was approved for addition to our treat’s selection in the future by my handsome husband and all five of our dogs. 😊
Another experiment I tried this week was making wavy round fries and canning them. They turned out pretty good, I think…we haven’t had any yet, but I will let you know for sure, once we’ve eaten a jar. 😊
The view from our basement as chores were done for the day was beautiful. 😊
We have four trays going now; I haven’t gotten a good picture of them all yet, but I did have this picture of the first two trays. The top at day 3 and the bottom at day 2. 😊
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! 😊
