Another busy weekend has come and gone so I wanted to share what we were able to get accomplished this weekend! I am still overwhelmed so I am hoping that by being positive I can tackle the rest of the list tommorow!
This is the first Sunday that I have not had to work because the Guam school year has ended. I really LOVE working with the students, but I do need a break. This afternoon Mom and I headed to the grocery store, we both had list! I was so excited to come home and say that I have finally caught up with the list until Zach announced, “We are out of mustard.” Yeap the story of my life. In other food related news, we schedule to receive our cow this weekend. We are going to purchase a whole cow. It should be ready for pick up the first week of August. I am going to plan and not purchase any cow related meat for the next two months in order to finish cleaning out the freezer and make room and also to make sure we don’t have something get buried at the back and wasted. I have stocked up on 2-Liter drinks with a total of 60 purchased this week. If I chose to go to the store again tomorrow to pick up mustard, I will plan to grab another 10. n I did manage to make pickled radish this weekend to use in salads in the next month. Food Things I have left to get done- Menu plan, make French toast for breakfast (bread is cut and drying out tonight), make banana muffins to use the remaining bananas from last week, cut up watermelon and cantaloupe so that it will get eaten this week and freeze more Kale from garden. I should also prepare myself lunch for several days this week as we are not having alot of left-overs currently.
On Saturday, Matt, Zach and I managed to replace the roof of the greenhouse. This should be a permanent fix. I purchased and planted 7 additional pepper plants from the farmers market and transplanted 4 tomatoes from a bed that was really reallly crowded. This should finish my planting until July when I will find space hopefully for pumpkin seeds that I already have. Now the next several weeks should involve watering and weeding while we wait for the harvest to begin. Garden things left to accomplish- Get pictures of the veggies growing and post as well as compare to the last couple of years!
I have not touched the budgeting stuff so that is an good chunk of time but hopefully I can get to it this week
