No.680: Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life // August 2022

A monthly project featuring ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.

Wednesday, August 10, 2022

Highlights of the day:

  • I’m running out of time to complete all of my farm projects before the school year starts!  I spent the morning dismantling Fiona’s old paddock and amending soil for the fall garden.  I also cleaned up “The Barnyard” (where the chickens and ducks live) and put away some of the unneeded fencing.  Little by little, tasks are getting checked off the list.
  • I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole of 60 Minutes Australia Youtube videos.  I know, so random.  I usually watch/listen while working on other things.  Have you heard about the woman who went missing after conning her family and friends out of millions?
  • My daughter and I made blueberry banana bread.  We must not have greased the second pan well enough because when I went to upend it onto the cooling rack, the middle fell out but not the crust!  Oh man, we laughed and laughed.  Thankfully, it still tasted the same, even though it looked hideous.
