Hay Bales

Good morning world!  Hay bales is the words I heard at the breakfast table this morning.  The boys were not talking about feeding the horses.  Although we need at least 3 more bales of hay before grass really gets growing.  They were talking about the cereal they are eating, Shredded Wheat.  I try to watch what cereal I buy for the boys.  In my opinion, most of it is sugar.  I have done different things for breakfast.  I have made homemade granola.  In September, I buy a 50 pound bag of rolled oats for oatmeal in the winter.  I have made muffins, biscuits, pancakes, French toast, and waffles. Now that the chickens are laying, we have eggs and bacon a few days a week.  This reminds me of wanting to have a baking day.  Maybe today?  Anyway, I had decided the cereal to buy with the fewest extra ingredients is Shredded Wheat, new name around here, Hay Bales. 

What a great way to start the day.  Praying first thing in the morning, listening to God in the quiet.  Then listening to my boys laughing around the breakfast table. Their laughter is music to my ears. 

How do you start your day?  I like having an hour or so by myself.  Does not always happen.  But my day goes so much better when I do.  In that hour, I spend some time praying, swish and swipe the bathroom, straighten the kitchen if needed, pick up the living room if needed, at times I have swept and mopped.  Like I said not always, but when I do, I feel so much better about my day. 

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
