I woke up feeling much better and headache free, praise God! Mark went into town in the morning and due to the pipeline situation, many of the stations were already completely out of gas. He said that the few that were still open had incredibly long lines. I’m so grateful that we filled up last weekend! A little nerve-wracking, but the plan is to stick close to home as much as possible and combine errands when we need to go out.
Wildflower Garden, Year Two
It’s been so exciting to see what flowers are coming back in my front wildflower beds! The pink one above bloomed overnight and is so beautiful. It looks like tissue paper. In other flower news, I bought two “mosquito shoo” geraniums (as bareroots) and they are starting to grow and flower as well!
Back to Decluttering
Week Two, Day Three: I chose these three super old makeup brushes. I never use them and they just sit in the bottom of my makeup bag, so definitely time to go.
My Latest Read
Update from my TBR Jar post: I decided to try The Wives of Los Alamos (affiliate link) since it was the shortest and so far, so good. The writing is written entirely in first person plural (we do this, we did that), which is new for me, but isn’t too distracting. I’ll report back.
Our First Meal from our Broilers!
Our first taste of the chickens we raised and processed – what a surreal feeling! Mark grilled chicken quarters and I served it with potato salad. Delicious.
The first homegrown meat meal is always the best!! It’s such a good feeling knowing you were in control of what the birds ate and how they lived and died. One step closer to more food independence!! Good Job.
Yes! My dream is to be able to produce the majority of our food on our property and it feels so great to take the first steps in that direction.
Those flowers are beautifu
They are so delicate and dainty, I love them!
