Blueberry Muffins to Start Off the Day!

I was up before daybreak this morning and hubby even managed to get up before 8 am, so I whipped up some blueberry muffins to go along with our coffee. Today is supposed to be a pretty day with sunshine and no rain! A repeat is due tomorrow on Friday so we want to make the most of these two nice days while we can. More rain will be with us again next week with rain daily. I have five new lilies to plant today that came in yesterday. This won't take too long to do and then I'll head on out to the garden and get busy with the weeding. This has been neglected with all the rain last week. Hubby will be installing a lift gate on the trailer he hauls the mower on and I imagine that I'll be called on again to be his helper. He started the project late yesterday afternoon and only got one side finished. Hope you all have a great day! Photo Credit: Pixabay © 2020 Karen Gros

Blueberry muffins and coffee are a great way to start your day! I hope this day ends up being an enjoyable one for you. We're also forecast to have a sunny day today after two solid days of rain. Today and tomorrow should be sunny. Unfortunately, that means it will be hot when I go for my walk this morning.

You will be hot, but not wet from rain, maybe sweat though! Hubby came in with his shirt stuck to him yesterday from sweating. The humidity has been horrible lately!

@moffittjc Yep! Same here. I have fed the dogs and chickens and about to head out to plant this new shipment of lilies that arrived yesterday. After that, I need to get clean water for all the chickens and then inside to rest and eat lunch. Then the only thing left is to weed the garden and that may have to wait until early tomorrow morning!

@kareng After all the rain we've had for the past two days, it will be miserably humid out there today. I have been pre-loading up on water since I know I will sweat it all out when I go for my walk.

It is hot and humid here today. I went outside at 6 this morning to water the garden, I am staying inside for the rest of the day.

@LadyDuck The afternoons here are the worst time of the day and the hottest. I didn't do much outside today but get fresh water for the chickens and dogs, and feed them of course.

@kareng I went out this morning and it was not too bad. The heat comes around noon and the afternoon is hot.

You just reminded me that I have a blueberry muffin mix in my pantry. I'm going to have one for breakfast this morning. We had rain all day yesterday. I mean heavy rainfall we haven't had in quite a while. Most of it didn't start until after I got home from the dentist at 11am, so I'm glad of that.

Yes, you lucked out with the timing of the rain! We had two pretty days in a row with no rain. Yay. It is still pretty wet here. I haven't had to water the garden for some time now.

Well, I see the coffee but can't see the muffins. *sigh* You knew I'd ask for one if you showed them, didn't you? *grinning and teasing you* When I left for work this morning it was drizzling. By the time I reached work the wipers were going as hard as they could go and I was driving at 25 mph. All I could see of the car in front of me was their taillights. The downpour lasted from about noon until around 3 pm. (The temp only reached 73 degrees today with the next four days being about the same, according to AccuWeather.) I hope you enjoy your beautiful weather.

Haha on muffins. Sounds like a bit of a taxing drive to work! We are still sunny, hot and humid here. Hoping for some rain next week but not all day kind of rain!

@DaddyEvil Yep, either first thing in am or late in the evening is the only time you can do it here.

@kareng Yeah, I don't like to drive if it's raining or snowing. Both make it hard to see the road and traffic plus both can make the pavement slick which can cause anxiety over having an accident. Today it is sunny and hot. We are waiting a couple more hours for the cool of evening so we can mow our yard.

@kareng It sounds like you both were busy doing your own things and glad you could have some time together with eating blueberry muffins and drinking coffee. I hope you do have nice sunny days right now.

I used a mix for those. It has everything in it so all I had to do was stir in milk.
