Good Tuesday everyone, and welcome to my Monday Musings! I fully intended on getting this up in time for Monday (see the theme in the title), but with the holiday that just didn’t happen. I spent all weekend fixing up part of the backyard to plant a garden; about 9 hours total. Sore is an understatement. I found muscles I didn’t even know I had!

But the garden is done, and it looks darn good. It’s not perfect, but I have plenty of time to spruce it up. I’m thinking more herbs, some flowers, and some paving stones, but we will see. As long as the groundhog doesn’t think I planted a salad just for him everything will be alright. I’m also secretly hoping it will be a neat place to meditate.

I found him buried in the dirt. Look how happy he is the garden is being fixed up!

All in all it was a pretty good weekend. A lot of relaxing and video game playing. I’m currently trying to work through Kingdom Hearts . These games are so fun but super hard! I’m also not much of a gamer though, so your milage may vary.

We made some delicious waffles with our sourdough starter, and I started reading The Artist’s Way, which is pretty good so far. I will update when I finish. I am also planning on re-reading Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies. It’s so insightful and helpful. I am in love, I need a hardcopy so I can take all the notes.

For the love of Pete read this book!

Please keep up with what we have going on, we have some great recipes going live this week, including sourdough discard waffles and the fudgiest brownies you’ve ever had.

Until next time, with gratitude!

XOXO
