That’s Much Better

 We are having a sunny day and it looks like it will be sunny for the whole week. Yay.

Third week of May

Worked my usual week. 

Had doctor appointment

Unloaded dishwasher, of course reloaded

Sold one item of furniture.

Think I may sell another item

Did  four loads of laundry

Ate from my freezer/fridge. Still feeling like winter meals.

Filled up my car. Will do two weeks. Hoping it will last a bit more. We pay $189.9 per litre. That is roughly $8.89 per gallon. We have it cheap here. The rest of the country is paying just over $2.00 per litre.

Spent $15.00 on groceries this week. There are some good deals this coming week. Will be stocking up on some items.

Kids are coming over today for a work day. I am on the short side. I need help with things I cannot reach. I also am sending some items home with youngest son. One is a table project for middle granddaughter to work on. The other is my recliner chair.  My living room is empty at the moment. New items coming in during the week.

 Am thinking that in about a week it should be warm enough to start putting plants outside. We have had frost or frost warnings the past few days. Usually the magic date for planting in the prairies is May 24th with more tender plants going in around June 1st. Some farmers are only getting on the fields now. For others there will be no planting this year. They will be thankful for crop insurance and government help. The ground is still frozen in some places and the water is running overland. Plus with all the rain we have even more flooding. Once we get some warm weather it won’t take long to dry out. The farmers last planting date here is June 12th. Already it is too late for beans. Sunflowers can be seeded late, so farmers are being encouraged to plant them. 

I started this last weekend. Another week has passed. I have spring cleaned my living, dining and kitchen areas,. Just finished in time for my new furniture to be dropped off. This will most likely be the last set of my life. The first time I could pick out what I liked lol.

Co-op has a good sale on meat this week. I bought 1/2 loin boneless rib cuts. I had one for dinner. The other four were divided up into 3 meals of marinated cubed pork for sweet and sour pork, then the other two were marinated in rosemary, pomegranate vinegar with lots of spice added. Each on of those chops will be two meals. I also got fresh butchered and prepared chicken breasts. They were huge. The eight breasts will easily do two meals each, plus they left the tenders on. I cut those off and have another two meal. I also got 1 steak. I am looking forward to that. The next time I buy meat it needs to be hamburger.

I cleaned off my patio. We are still cold and rainy here, so will wait to plant anything until maybe next weekend. We now have has the second wettest spring (March 1 till today) on record. It rained greatly today and will continue for the next few days.

Blessings
