Thrifted. Updates. Pics.

 
1) Thrifteds.

 A fabulous book about bugs. American girl craft book, patterns. A whole bunch of those things that you flip them over and they moo.  A wooden bear puzzle she picked out and a cow sheet (for you know who). $10.00
 A book. Fabulous flip top bottles-even a gallon one! (Which I am currently obsessed with...I have found 7 so far thrifting and they are so fab for storing food in. It's not plastic, you don't lose the top and I love the looks).  Anyway, a Columbia lunch bag, a set of metal bookends and a red basket. $9.  The big jar had a department store pricetag for more than that amount.

2) Updates.
-Goodness, I have been work, work and working.  Just as I finished stacking the 4 cords of wood, 6 more came. Yikes!
-I have been working on the garden for about an hour or two a day. It's likely 2/3 planted?  More go and a lot done.
-We've had some really sad days relating to this homesteading adventure lately, but I am determined to keep plugging away.
-If I could wear my kids out and they fall asleep at 6:30 everynight, oh my I'd get things accomplished. After finishing her May dress (pics to come), dishes, a couple loads of laundry, hand sawing two small trees down, spending a bunch of time removing the overgrown forsythia, preparing some snail mail for loved ones, it was only 9:30. It's amazing how fast things get done without helpers!  And then I was petered out. 
-I tend to plan for planting season and fill the freezer every March and early April. Thankful for that foresight, we've definitely been going through meals.
-I keep thinking about cinnamon rolls. I really ought to make them soon.

3) Pics
Have been obsessed with straw hats lately.

 Her doll in this pic is the same doll (Celeste) I carried around for years upon years when I was a child.
 And my no longer a napper totally engrossed in his afternoon quiet time activity.
