Crocus blooming in my flower bed. |
On
Sunday I made two bottles of raspberry pancake syrup using frozen berries I had
picked at my parent’s place last summer.
I also made a bottle of maple flavored syrup.
Monday
I went to Winco and did my big monthly haul of grocery shopping. Four very full shopping bags of pantry
staples and some fresh produce.
I
worked on my current baby afghan project.
I ran
the dishwasher this week using soap samples I received in the mail for free.
My
income tax refund arrived this week. I
put most of it into my savings account.
The
weather had warmed up a bit last week so I set our thermostat way low on our
main heat and we have been using the fireplace in the living room to take the chill
off in the mornings.
Friday I
used store coupons to purchase items for the girl’s Easter baskets.

I did a
lot of little home repairs around the house and other projects using items I
already had on hand in the garage. I
will post more on this later.
I had
two shelves in my kitchen with broken shelf clips; one in my pantry and the
other one in my cupboard where I store my Pyrex mixing bowls and storage
containers. Tippy shelves are no
good. Luckily I was able to repair them
myself with items I had in a coffee can of miscellaneous screws and
fasteners. In that can was an extra
metal shelf clip for the kitchen cabinet.
A drywall screw was all I needed to fix the shelf in the pantry.
The
chickens blessed us with 19 eggs this week!
They are so awesome!!
I miss not having crocus, they are so bright and happy looking.
ReplyDeleteI bought a few things at Dollar General and felt pretty happy with the price I paid. Two bags of malted chocolate bird eggs in pastels for $1.00 each. I will be baking cupcakes and putting a nest (colored coconut) on top of each with a few eggs inside the nest. lol
That is such a cute idea. I should do something like that. I could use my jelly beans, right? :)
