FOR the week of May 9, 2016

Outside my window…  right now it is a warm, sunny day with a slight breeze.  The forecast calls for it to get windy later on though.

I am thankful… so, so thankful for my mom being here to help out.

From the kitchen… my plan for while my mom was here was to have her help me restock the freezer with chopped, cooked chicken which helps make meal prep easier.  Well, God had a different plan and last week He provided us with a LOT of free, fresh produce – tomatoes, summer squash, and peppers.  So we’ve been busy canning (diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spaghetti sauce) and freezing.   This would not have happened if my mom wasn’t here.

Just some of the free produce we were given.

In the garden… Hurray! Mom got the garden expanded for me and I was able to get the winter squash transplanted out yesterday. I was going to plant potatoes, but the last of the hand spades disappeared last week.  The kids keep borrowing and loosing them.

Around the house… I could sing for joy!  After two years we finally have a working bathtub in the kids’ bathroom again.  It still needs trim around the outside, but it’s usable and they no longer have to use our master bathroom shower.  We also got the hummingbird feeders put up and are enjoying watching our little visitors.

I am hearing… 10:30 – the pressure regulator on the canner rocking, cars going by on the highway (it’s already warm enough to have the front door open, Lydia playing on the porch with Gabe; 6:30 – microwave cooking some squash for dinner while the boys chatter about minecraft back in the office.
