READY FOR THE WEEKEND

I just want to
grow veggies,
bake bread,
and make
nice things.

I didn't mean to hint
there was anything wrong
in my last post because
life if fine, just crazy busy
which is hard on me sometimes.
I like my world quiet and stress
free. The quote above? It
works for me. :)
 
It's been almost two years of
extremely hard work and sacrifice,
but within the next month
my Mike is opening a new
business [more later] so now
it's crunch time with workers,
dear sons helping when they
can, inspections, and equipment
deliveries, oh dear.  
 
I finished the prayer shawl
I was knitting for the Church
and I hope it brings a little
comfort.
 
I made a ginger bug, have you
ever made one? I want to
ferment some blueberry juice
and this is the first step; I'll
keep you posted on how it
goes.
 
It's tomato time here in the
south and since I still have
boxes filled with quarts of
canned tomatoes I decided
to just make an ice box shelf
and sauerkraut. 
 
Each morning I strain a batch
of homemade yogurt for the
whey, then start chopping and
mixing, filling jars, wiping counter
tops, mopping the floor and then
it's time to prepare lunch for
all the guys. Spaghetti squash
and butternut squash are also
beginning to fill the kitchen so
they are starting to see a lot
of appearances at meal times.
 
enough to post a recipe for her
it has been a huge hit in my home
with a promise from me to bake
another one soon.
 
This weekend I am planning on
doing Nothing but relaxing. I
need the beach, my knitting,
my book and a nap.
 
I hope you enjoy a refreshing
weekend too.
 
Love,
Tracey
