Looking out from my back porch … bright sunny day with a light breeze ... the weeds need mowing, again!
I am thinking about … 4-H Achievement Days is this week, so the kids need to get all baking projects done today – Angel Food Cake, 12 Egg Yolk Cookies, Banana Bread, Pumpkin Bread. Static exhibits are judged tomorrow morning starting at 10am.
I am thankful for … a peaceful morning
I am reading… ‘A Haystack Full of Needles’ and still working my way through a pile of magazines
I am hoping…that Graham’s appt. this afternoon goes well.
I am hearing...the electric mixer whirring to beat egg whites for Angel Food Cake
I am wearing… beige capris and a blue t-shirt
From the sewing/craft room (aka. laundry room!)…I’m just thankful that all of Angelina’s sewing projects are completed … 2 skirts, a small doll quilt, a pillowcase, and fabric ‘paper’ dolls.
From the school room... the school room has been barren, but the learning continues in our backyard, kitchen, sewing room, etc.
From the kitchen... this weekend, I made a Garlic Cream Sauce for Pork Chops. It was ‘lick your lips’ good.
State of the house… in the interest of 4-H, the house has been neglected. I’m ok with it, for now.
A successful moment… Louis has managed to figure out how to pull himself up beside furniture.
A few plans for the rest of the week…
Monday: Baking & Achievement Day preparations.
Tuesday: 4-H Achievement Days – Static exhibits are judged, Consumer Choices
Wednesday: 4-H Achievement Days – Small animals (rabbits & poultry), Tractor Driving Contest, Large animals (sheep)
Thursday: Unpack, Laundry, REST!
Friday: Eric is thinking about a trip to town to purchase fireworks with the oldest kids
Saturday: Our family will be lighting fireworks tonight with Grandma & Grandpa Green Acres
Sunday: The oldest four kids will be meeting up with Grandma & Grandpa Golden Acres to spend a week up at the farm and attend VBS in my hometown
A picture memory:
One of the great features with SFG’s (square foot gardening) is that you can easily replant or spread out your planting dates. Here, Angelina and Graham are sowing a few more beets.
The cutworms have been particularly hard on seeded crops this year, so Angelina had to replant about half of her peas and about a third of my beans. With SFG’s, the planting process is NOT overwhelming and can be completed quickly.
