As usual during the winter, it has been a quiet day on the old homestead. I did my mending, worked on my embroidery for a couple of hours, did the household tasks, and admired the work Harvey has done restoring the dining room table.
Late this afternoon my yogurt maker arrived. Tonight I will sterilize the containers and start my first batch of Greek yogurt, using products I already have in my fridge (bought purposely for this). Pretty sure this will save us money in the long run and give me my yogurt fix every day. It will also enable me to use up some of the jam from two years ago. This machine will also make soft white cheese so I will be trying that as well. I am really looking forward to producing more of my own products, especially if those dang tariffs and the tit for tat ones that will occur as well come to fruition.
I got our first power and gas bills for the year, and actually they are not too bad. Mind you December was pretty mild over all. So waiting a couple of months to see what the change will be is a good idea.
There has been a bit more decluttering, a piece here and a piece there. It will surely add up over time, or at least I hope it does.
Off to get supper in the oven and then to visit a few of you before we eat.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
