Right now it's sunny but it was quite cloudy and gloomy this morning.

If I have a few minutes to myself, I will::::
Get some rest!  I barely slept last night and am not feeling too well.

New recipe I tried, or want to try this week::::
I'm going to have to get looking for new recipes.  I've been so behind, but now with school starting again this week, hopefully routine will set in, and my home cooking will get exciting and new again, instead of quick old go tos.

In the garden::::
Well, my lawn needs mowed, to start with, and my mint looks amazing!  My plants are all really doing pretty well, but I don't have too many.  

Favorite photo from the camera::::
I just love those eyes!  She's such a sweet baby.



Homemaking Tip::::
I can't think of anything.  Well, I did pick up some lavender satchel bag things from the lavender farm at the farmer's market.  I put it in my dryer with the laundry and it makes everything smell amazing with a gentle lavender smell, that isn't too overwhelming. 

Visiting with Blog friends (blog you want to share, blog post that caught your eye)::::
I still have been a lousy blog lately.  I promise, I have every intention of diving back in, to all of the good posts you all have been writing.

Praying for::::
Shawn, for safe travels this week.
Ben, as he starts his first day of FIRST GRADE on Wednesday!
Myself, to start feeling better quickly.

Bible Verse, Devotional that is resonating with me at the moment::::
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. ~ Psalm 118:14

I'm sorry you're not feeling very well, hope you're not coming down with something.

Lots of kiddos starting school this week, we officially start on the 25th so still have a little to go, and that is fine with me.

I hope you have a great week and that Ben has a good first day of school.

Potato Soup

During Lent this last spring, I needed a meat free dinner to feed my sister-in-law and her family. Usually my potato soup has lots of bacon and bacon grease in it. I found this recipe here .This one is meatless, but it is important to add that it is NOT dairy free. There are adjustments you can do to make it dairy free though. It’s quick and was really well liked.  Potato Soup 6-8 cups russet potatoes, peeled and chopped 1 yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, chopped 1 clove garlic 4 cups vegetable stock 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded 1/2 cup sour cream or cream 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Pinch red pepper flakes 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp olive oil In a large pot over medium heat, add the butter and olive oil.
