- We have been under a extreme heat warning all week. This means that the heat index is at least 101* The only way that I am able to keep up with the garden is by waking up super early aka 6:30am and spending at least an hour in the garden. This morning I ended up around an hour and half. I was able to get a second planting of crops done. Pumpkins in the bed in front of the office, cucumbers to replace the ones that did not survive and cantaloupe in place of the bush green beans. I also finished the chore of wedding all the beds, collecting a 5 gallon bucket for the chickens. I dead headed our white rose bush, collected the small harvest and heavily watered the beds.
- 2 loads of towels were washed, dried, folded and put away. With everyone enjoying the pool and working, it is not uncommon for most of use to take 2 showers a day.
- I have got the third load in the dishwasher, I am working on getting rid of any food that has gone bad. I also packed up everything in lunch containers, made desert and have started working on sour dough bread for the weekend. I have no doubt this third load will be ran tonight.
- In my effort to use the food we have I ended up chopping up 4 items for a Big Mac Salad for dinner, lettuce, red onion, cucumbers and tomatoes. I found a recipe for Big Mac sauce and then cooked a pound of ground beef in steak seasoning to use.
- I was able to pressure can 5 quarts of chicken broth that I made from the chicken thighs that were processed yesterday.
No wonder I am tired~
