For Today: 10/5/21

Looking out my window

Leaves are starting to cover the ground. Outside there’s a slight breeze, we have scattered clouds, but it feels nice. Today’s high is 78 degrees.

I am thinking

About all the things we’re facing in these troubling times. My heart aches to see the division running rampant in the body of Christ over such things :(

I am thankful

To be able to enjoy another Fall season.

One of my favorite things

I love this picture of a tree in our town from a few years ago. It’s one of the many things I love about Autumn.

I am creating

A “TO DO LIST” of some things I want to work on around the house.

I am wearing

A rose print dress and flip-flops.

I am reading

Father God’s Holy Word. I’m participating in the Psalm 119 online ladies Bible Study.

I’m watching

I have been catching up on some Clutterbug YouTube videos.

I am hoping

By some miracle to not have to deal with suffering from bad allergy headaches this year. Haha…It’s okay to wish sometimes right?

I am learning

To be okay with a head full of gray hairs. It's like I see more gray patches every few months when I'm looking in the mirror. I know...maybe I'm getting wiser *wink *wink

In my kitchen

I have been making homemade mayo for a few years now. I like the taste much better than any I buy at the store. Maybe because I actually know what’s in it. Here’s a recipe I use:

1 Large whole Pasture-Raised egg ( or 2 Egg Yolks)

1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard

1 Tbsp. White Wine Vinegar

2 tsp. Lemon Juice

1/2 tsp. Sea Salt

1/4 tsp. White Pepper

1 cup Avocado Oil (or any neutral tasting oil)

I use up to a quart-size wide mouth Mason jar to add everything but the oil. Then I take my handheld stick (Emersion) blender to blend everything in the jar. Last I slowly add the oil and pulse up and down to get it to a thicker consistency that resembles mayo. It lasts a few weeks in the fridge if I even have it that long. LOL

Post Script

  Last month I watched a week of "Get Organized HQ". I learned so much. While going through the website last week, I came across something interesting. I love this idea of organizing small things with photo boxes.

Shared Quote

“It is not the absence of sin, but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.”

A moment from my day

Just a day of decluttering and keeping the home :-)
