- This is my first full week of summer break. Unfortunately we have spent more time than usual inside due to the weather. Kendall said it best today after we spent some time at the pool. “It finally feels like summer.”
- I don’t know if I mentioned it recently, but I really LOVE my Electric Pressure Canner. This is so simple and easy to use. Canning was not something I would have considered even two years ago but this summer, I want to can at least once a week. I love the convivence of just opening a jar for broth and soups. I can’t wait to can spaghetti sauce and salsa! This week I used it to put away 4 quarts, 7 pints and 9 half pints of chicken broth.
- The rain, along with worm casting and blood meal have a HUGE difference in the garden. I can’t wait to post pictures of the changes this week!!
- The swim meet that was supposed to occur on Tuesday will be bright and early tomorrow morning. I am excited to watch all three kids compete. In other swimming news, this afternoon Braxton was able to swim without a float!
- In not so great news, I have overspent the grocery budget!
