Saturday on the Homestead: March 15, 2014

We had a busy weekend so far on the homestead.  Jessie and I painted the remaining windows that are going on the greenhouse, and Jeff got them all installed, which is a major accomplishment and a HUGE step forward to getting it all done.

Amber and Josh moved 2000 pounds of sand yesterday, and today they took down some fencing that we are relocating.  Amber also cleaned and did some laundry.  She is now upstairs cleaning her room and listening to her audio tapes.  Joshua is on supper duty.  He is making us chocolate chip pancakes, turkey bacon and scrambled eggs.

I got the front of my garden door painted and I will do the other side in a couple of days when the rain goes away.  I also got a 4x5 bed of different kinds of salad greens planted and a 4x6 bed of parsley.

Jessie gathered several cans worth of trash on our "hill" where my in-laws dumped their trash when Jeff was young.  I'm not sure if this was a common practice in the country back in the day, but the resulting mess years later sometimes drives me crazy!

My legs are sore from squatting up and down yesterday painting those windows.  I have been hobbling around like a little old woman all day.  I am sure I amused everyone in the family.  I have no doubt tomorrow Jeff is going to be even more sore than me from climbing up and down the ladder all day today.

I wanted to say thank you for all those who have used my Amazon affiliate links to order something.  It is one way a stay-at-home mom can help make extra funds for the family.

I am bone weary, so I am going to make this one short and sweet.  I appreciate you for taking the time to keep up with our family.

Sincerely,
Debbie, Home at Serenity Springs
