Frugal Friday

 

So as the end of the week draws nearer I thought I would fill you all in on the frugal happenings around the old homestead.

1.  Some over ripe bananas were made into banana bread.

2.  Socks were once again darned and those that were in no shape to be darned were cut into rings to use to tie plants up.

3.  Windows were opened to allow a cooling breeze on those really warm days.

4.  Now that the weather has changed the windows are closed, and drapes wide open to get any solar heat from the sun/light as is possible. Keeps the furnace from turning on.

5.  Because the weather changed as many plants as possible have been brought in the house. The rest have been covered to keep any frost off if we get some. No way do I want to have to replace all my plants.

6.  Kris grew us some eggplant from seed in his little green house. He will bring them home with him.

Turns out Kris will not be home this weekend. Instead he will be home on Wednesday (or perhaps even Tuesday he was slightly difficult to understand). It seems his apartment building has an infestation of cockroaches once again. Even though these Canadian species do not get as big as the ones in some areas they are big pests in the apartments. So, once again he needs to remove everything from his kitchen in readiness for spraying. Then since he needs to be out of the apartment, he figures he may as well come home. Weather should be better and perhaps he and his Dad can go fishing.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
