It's been a quiet day of getting a few things done around the house. I did a bit of decluttering, worked on tidying and organizing the sewing/craft room. I picked herbs to dry (need to put the comfrey in the dehydrator), walked around the garden and backyard making a few plans for next year. Pretty sure more food will be planted and I am thinking of getting one of those tower Aerogrow things. In order to try and save a bit on greens this winter. I will need to price that out.
I will do a bit more organizing in the sewing/craft room in a bit since supper is made and the table set. We are both now waiting for Kurt to arrive and then after he has rested a bit, supper will be served.
We got almost half an inch of rain last night, so the rhubarb patch was a bit wet this morning. No rain today, even though we had some pretty black sky this afternoon so I am kind of hopeful of getting some picked a bit later or first thing tomorrow morning.
I, sort of hate that we have the Torquay Village 100th Celebration tomorrow. It means we will be leaving Kurt by himself, and missing out on a days visit with him. Considering he is only here for 5 nights and 4 days this time around I find it hard to not want to spend as much of that time as possible visiting.
The lists for next month's extra cleaning and goals/projects has been completed as well. Monthly menus are done and whenever there is a cooler day, batch cooking will be happening. More main dish salads are going to be made as well. Of course my menu plans are pretty interchangeable and as long as all I have planned to make is actually made, it really does not matter what day it is made on. Things need to be used up, of course, but most of my recipes or menus do enable me to use up what needs to be used.
Life is actually getting simpler as I realize that organizing, decluttering, having menu plans, cleaning lists, projects, and garden harvesting can not be as complicated as I made it. Sure it is work, but work for the most part that I enjoy.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Some things are just good work - and so nice in the end.

I'm glad you got some rain to give the garden a good drink Jackie. Enjoy your visit with Kurt - it will go by so fast.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy the work I do around the house. Main dish salads will be really refreshing for this time of year. I certainly understand not wanting to miss anytime visiting with Kurt while he is visiting. I hope you enjoy his visit immensely.
ReplyDeleteWe had a HUGE decluttering YEAR! In preparation for moving house - been here in the new place for 3 months now and I notice "things" been put away ie thrown into a drawer so must have another session!
