Welcome to this week's 'to-do' list! I haven't done an official 'to-do' list in about 2 weeks due to 'IT' and then falling this past week. I'm recovering from the fall and since I've lost so much time due to illness and injury, I desperately need to get some things done!
(Picture: Do you see the 3 apples on this apple tree? We were so excited to find them, this is the first year that this tree has given us any fruit!)
Here's what my 'to-do' list for this week looks like ...
Bible Study: work on lesson 2 of the 'Knowing Our Enemy' Bible study I'm writing
Exercise: Get in 5000 steps a day. I'm having to build back up to where I was before 'IT' came for a visit. I'll do it slowly, so my body doesn't have any more trauma to deal with!
Harvest and preserve the rest of our cabbage (picture: I harvested these this morning but there are several more to be done!)Plant watermelon and cantaloupe
Finish making over the table that belonged to my mama
Work on preserving potatoes
Stitch up a sample block for the 'Christmas in July' quilt I plan to make. I like to make one block from start to finish so I can get a feel of how it all goes together. Once I'm comfortable with the process I can work fairly quickly.
This morning I gathered some seeds and headed out to do a little planting. Since my movement is better, albeit still a bit slower than normal, I felt like I could handle dropping a few seeds in the ground. I planted: dipper gourds, birdhouse gourds, mixed decorative gourds, basket gourds, dill, zucchini, a third succession planting of cucumbers, and pumpkins. Several of the things I planted were done so with fall in mind. The gourds are for fall decorating and the pumpkins are for fall decorating as well as for eating.
I made it fine doing the planting as I only planted a few seeds of each, but I was ready to head back in by the time I was finished. I told hubby it's amazing the many ways a fall can or will affect one's body. I'll pick up my pace this week but take time to rest often as well.
There was no 'He Shops, She Shops! post this week as we got hit with an unexpected auto repair yesterday. In fact, there was no grocery shopping, or any other kind of shopping done this week, remember we are in survival mode and that unexpected auto repair didn't help! I'm so glad that our pantry is such that we can still eat healthy and nutritious meals without having to go to the grocery store. Maintaining a well-stocked pantry helps us absorb the hits that life throws our way! We do plan to continue the 'He Shops! She Shops!' bargain hunting posts though whenever it's feasible and fits our budget.
That's it for this week, what's on your to-do list for the upcoming week?
Until the next post,
