Happy Homemaker Monday

 

You can visit Sandra and join HHM HERE 

                        Hello, lovely friends! I hope you are all doing well and had an amazing weekend. I went to the farmer's market. I picked up some nectarines, red plums, apples, pears, and lots of berries and salad stuff. We also went for a walk at the park with the trail through the butterfly gardens. Both time we were there, the real feel temperature was 105/106.  I'm excited to go there in the fall when we can enjoy it more!

*** New Recipe I tried or want to try *** 

Still too hot in my house to cook anything that doesn't go into a toaster oven or air fryer.  Even if it is 83 outside, it is 89+ in here unless you're right in front of a window AC. 

    

 

*** What I am creating ***

My 1st book is still in edits. Writing is the easy part, seriously. (Long story) 

I'm working on a Bible Study on the Titus 2 Woman and just getting into the beginning of a new series. 

 

*** No words needed (favorite photo or picture) *** 

Some pictures from recent walks

 

*** Devotional, Prayers, Bible Verses *** 

I've been reading in the book of Jeremiah for the last several days. A lot of it is pretty tough to read - talking about judgment. But there are also a few beautiful parts too!
