We had a pretty relaxing weekend. We had a few errands to run and helped our married kiddos with a little project and they made us breakfast. We were back home by 11:30am. Mr Ladybug planted the cabbages and broccoli while I did a few things in the house and fixed lunch that we ate outside, We are pretty simple folks. The boy had to be at work at 2 so we dropped him off headed out to a favorite park to play with our new camera and Mr Ladybugs binoculars then home to shower and get presentable to meet our other daughter and and her friend for dinner. Sunday was a quick trip to Krispy Kreme since we promised the boy we would go and then home for the day. As the exciting folks that we are we cleaned, did laundry and fixed a nice dinner. I think we were both in bed by 9 oclock which is why we both wake up before the alarm goes off at 6am.
We werent thinking about nothing really being in bloom yet and thought we would try to get several pictures of this same spot throughout the year. Its really a nice park. Its called Hisle Park if you are in the area. Mr Ladybug was actually able to see and airplane in the sky and follow it quite a ways. We also saw lots of cute dogs.

Saturday evening we were outside trying to wish all the clouds away so we would be able to see the blue moon. The clouds did not cooperate so I guess we will catch it Halloween 2020. The moon really isnt blue its just one of those weird times that there are two full moons in a month that only happen twice a year like every 2.7 years or every blue moon. I just really love seeing the different stages of the moon but with all our rain and snow I am lucky to even see the moon at all!
We did get to see and picture another bird for our big year scrapbook. If you googled what a big year is in the birding world you will know that our big year is just tip of the iceberg compared to some peoples but it something we enjoy and it doesnt matter how big you go it just matters that you are learning something and enjoy what you are doing. I have some really great pictures of male cardinals but hadnt gotten a good one of a female. I think this girl is just too cute.
I tried a new pasta recipe and it was pretty good and simple. I just floured and pan fried some porn loin and sauteed some asparagus and mushrooms to go with it.
Pasta Sauce
2 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
3 cloves of mince garlic
3/4 cup mild
1/2 cup reserved pasta water
Melt butter in small sauce pan, add garlic and flour and stir to get them mixed well. Add milk and stir. Do not walk away this thickened pretty quick. Slowly add about 1/4 cup of reserved water from cooking your pasta. You make need the full half cup depending on how thick you like your sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. The addiction of parmesian cheese would work really well too. This sauce can be used over tons of things and even as a sauce for white pizza.
The tomatoes and peppers are popping up. Its not too late to get yours started indoors today. They do not go on the ground outside for another month.
Tonight for dinner I am fixing meatloaf. I will be tripling the recipe to make some meatballs for spaghetti and meatballs later this week and the extra meatloaf I am making will be crumbled up to go in chili. This will make meals later be thrown together pretty quickly. I only use bread crumbs, egg, salt and pepper in my meatloaf so it can really be added to and crumbled to many things without making things like tacos of spaghetti taste weird.
I have made myself a very doable list of things to accomplish today. I am sometimes guilty of putting too many things on my agenda and instead of doing a few things well I do lots of things lousy. I am trying to do better at that. I hope you are enjoying your Monday.
