We are all volunteering at Vacation Bible School this week. We are provided a meal each day so that makes life a little easier.<\/li>\n<li>One of the you tube channels that I real enjoy is Three Rivers homestead.\u00a0 She has a challenge starting in August called &#8220;Every bit counts.&#8221; The idea is that you find time each day to preserve one thing and that way it does not become overwhelming.\u00a0 I know that once I start working again in August even this will become difficult, so I am going to start this week and end on August 19th. My plan is to share weekly and how I am doing with this challenge. Last week, I made and frozen 15 helping of spaghetti sauce. Today, I put packs of mini applesauce muffins in the freezer. I also made a huge batch of gravy that we ate for lunch. I was able to put 2 smaller containers in the freezer to use for breakfast bowls in the future.<\/li>\n<li>On Saturday, we were able to complete the chicken coop and started with the fencing to finish the area.\u00a0 We will hopefully get our new pet chickens this week. I am going to plan to share all about the chickens in blog post this week.<\/li>\n<li>We also have obtained a large 250 galloon water barrel for both the chickens and for watering things in the greenhouse.\u00a0 We did attach a gutter system to the barrel We need to first fill and empty to remove all the remaining chemicals that are in it. Slow progress but this will hopefully eliminate the need to use county water next year for the garden or chickens.<\/li>\n<li>As I mentioned above, we all are involved in VBS this week which runs from 6 to 8:30 Sunday to Thursday. Zach is attending the local baseball camp from 8:30 to 11 Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Lily is working Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Yeap we are back to a busy schedule.<\/li>\n<li>The garden is continuing to bounce back and we are getting a good supply of tomatoes and yellow squash currently.\u00a0 I am hopefully to freeze enough spaghetti sauce for the year (24 containers) and make another batch of salsa before the tomatoes slow down to eating and saving as diced tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li>I was able to locate enough frozen basil to use in the spaghetti sauce that I don&#8217;t think I am going to replant this year. I will likely plan to grow in the green stock planter next year and replenish our supply then.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No menu plan for the week.
