Grateful April 17

With everything going on with the Corona virus and being in lock down, I thought we could all use a reminder that we are lucky to have all that we do. So I am going to post something I am grateful for everyday while this goes on. I hope you will all join in with me. There is always bad out in the world. Lets shine a light on the good. Stay healthy everyone.

 Today I am grateful for a special friend. We talk almost everyday. The other day we were both talking about how we are out of most fresh produce. Well today she went shopping and got me a whole bunch of produce too. I was so excited. She got us a 5 pound bag of potatoes, apples,and oranges. She got a head of lettuce, baby carrots, cheddar cheese (YD lives on it) and some soy milk for Hubby. I asked what I owe and she said nothing. She said I am always doing stuff for her so it was her turn. I wanted to give her such a big hug. Instead I told her husband too for me. 

 What are you grateful for today?

    Today I am grateful for leftovers. I eat them for lunch every day and it may not be what I really want, but it is here, is inexpensive, and easy to either eat warm or cold straight out of the fridge.

      We eat leftovers most days for lunch too. I could not imagine cooking 3 meals a day.

    Well, no one is shopping for me, but that was very nice of here. Today, I am especially happy that I found cooked, seasoned, frozen turkey breasts for $1/lb. Any chicken or turkey breast for $1 lb is my kind of food.

    Today I am thankful for the grocery pickup service. It makes shopping so much easier. No I dont always get everything but that's true even in store shopping

      We can't even get a slot. People are setting their alarms for the middle of the night to get a slot. They are filled up in a minute. Not me I like my sleep.

I hope everyone is healthy and doing alright with our new normal. When the weather permits I have been out side working on the gardens. My kale never died the winter because it was so mild. It recently started growing again.  I was able to pick a nice bunch this morning. I will be incorporating it into our meals this week. YD loves smoothies and always tosses some kale in. The gardening season has finally begin! Have you harvested anything from your garden yet this year?

Dirt

At 7 am Saturday morning a truck came and dropped of 8 yards of topsoil. Then Hubby, the kids and I got to work. It was a beautiful day out, sunny and 60 degrees. Perfect for hard labor. We have a wheel barrel and a garden wagon that can dump. 4 shovels in hand and off we went.  We had several trees taken down a few years ago. Then 2 years ago we had the driveway done. Last year we had the siding on the house done. Time to fix the lawn. We have lots of dips in the front and back yard from all of the work. I am a little clumsy and have fallen several times in them. We were able to level out the front yard and fill in the holes in the back yard. The back yard has a large hill so it will never be level but it is more of a gentle slope now. Some places didn't get dirt because they didn't need it.  We ordered pizza since I was too tired to cook. After dinner Hubby spread grass seed everywhere. Today it is raining lightly.  It was hard work but we got it done and h
