Thrifty and Frugal
It is another week of thrifty and frugal living here on the old homestead. Taking care of using everything we have to the best of my/our ability. Trying to leave a smaller carbon footprint on the earth and give back to the land by cutting down on waste, fuel, and chemicals where possible.
1. Hanging clothes on the lines downstairs to dry. Washing full loads of clothes to save on water usage.
2. Repaired a hem on my pants, and fixed a seam on one of Harvey's shirts.
3. Using up lotions and potions that have been collected over the years.
4. Put $0.55 in the change jars.
5. Walked for free exercise every day.
6. Made Vegetable stock from the scraps collected.
7. Made all our desserts this week from scratch using and using up things in the pantry and fridge.
8. Harvey planted more grass seed and some clover. The seed was from last year and he bought the clover this year. We just want a green front yard and clover just might allow that to happen.
9. Baked bread.
10. Continuing the decluttering process.
11. Cut out some patterns to sew for the summer. Remnants used and the bits and bobs put away to use in other sewing projects.
12. Used up a ball of black yarn, a ball of grey yarn, and a ball of red yarn making the first scarf.
13. Saved the water while it was warming to water the plants this week.
14. Saved the small plastic containers that the cherry tomatoes came in to use to plant on seedlings.
Life is good.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
