Working Day

The weather was beautiful today so Danielle and I worked outside while John slept. She stacked wood for the next cold evening so we can build a fire. I worked in the garage getting things back on the shelving units and off the floor. Also am continuing to go through boxes and have 6 boxes of donation stuff. There never seems to be an end to the sorting and pitching. So much waste it is pitiful.

Yesterday was a cooking day. Baked Spaghetti squash, made applesauce muffins, bisquits and cookies. For supper we had chicken pot pie which was a hit except it takes forever for John to eat when he has to pick out all the green and orange vegetables. He is meticulous with his separating out of all vegetables. Crazy kid.  He loves V8 fusion which are his vegetable servings. 

Listed 5 items on E-bay. I need to get going with that again. I'd like my PayPal account to get $200 in it again so I can transfer it to savings. 

Finished Alexander (Tina's unborn) bunting sleeper and it is so cute. I am washing it and blocking tonight, hopefully will have pictures (it still needs buttons but all the knitting is done). Also finished A.J.'s grandmother's scarf for Christmas, a pair of brown mittens for John and a dishcloth. Now I need to hurry and get our minister's baby sweater and hat done, she is due in 9 days. I'm positive it will not get done in time but will still be usable when she does get it. 

Dan said it was in the 60s in ND today, was probably in the 50s here in CT. I'm ready to get home. This has been a good productive time but it has been long enough.

A couple weeks ago I got the best book, The Backyard Homestead. Fabulous reference book and exactly the type of lifestyle I want. Now I just have to convince my husband, surprisingly it probably won't be that difficult.
