Behind the Garden Walls

spring vitality
|
We are done with school for the year, I have decided. There is enough to do to keep us busy! There are more candidating trips to be made, spring cleaning to do, organizing in the basement....I did get some organizing done down there this week, and I have a big pile of bags and boxes to go to Goodwill. It grows little by little, and it is a good feeling to get some of this much need sorting done. I planted in the garden this week, marigolds and tomatoes. There are some volunteer tomatoes as well, some of which I rooted out, and some of which I will leave to see if they flourish. The dianthus is back that I planted last year in the front flower bed, and the calendula has reseeded itself. But the front flower bed is in need of a good weeding, so that is on the list for the coming week. I baked bread on Tuesday for the week, the buttermilk recipe from Nourishing Traditions, and it turned out better than any other yeast bread I have made. I think I will make Tuesdays a permanant kitchen day. I think the ginger carrots fermented properly but somehow I used way to much salt, so I am trying again this week. On Saturday we took a trip to a sheep and wool festival near here. We had a good time as a family there together......If you want to see pictures, check out my new fibercraft blog at www.spinningdaydreams.blogspot.com/ It is easier to add photos on the blogspot blog, so those of you who are family members may want to bookmark it.....I will try to keep it well peppered with photos of the children. The children are all doing well. We are enjoying the sunshiney days, spending more time outdoors. This week the kids made "kites" out of paper, and spent a lot of time running around the yard trying to get them airborne. They are not exactly aerodynamic and there was no wind to speak of, but the kids got plenty of exercise and had fun too! |
