Grateful April 11

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 my sisters. I spoke to 3 of them yesterday. All are doing well. I don't live near my parents(different state). One sister went shopping for them last week. A different one went shopping for them this week. They don't have to leave the house . We have been calling and checking in on each other and our families. Yesterday we got a package in the mail. It was chocolate cover apples from my one sister. We usually all spend Easter together and she usually does a big egg hunt for everyone. Since we won't be there she sent us a special treat. 

 What are you grateful for today?

    I am thankful that I am able to help others in one way or another. My niece is making masks, so I sent her some material I had and elastic (which she can't find now) and she able to make a lot more masks. I like at least helping a nurse or worker stay safe in some little way.
    My niece has decided she wants to garden this year, and yesterday we spoke and I gave her lots of advice for which she was thankful. We just don't realize that 'tiny' things can make a difference to others.

    I am grateful I have my masks, even though my machine is not set up to make some.

      2 friends each gave us 2 homemade masks so we each have our own now. I am good at straight line sewing only.

      That is a HUGE blessing. The man I help is so lonely. His daughter doesn't want anyone inside with him. I ran over to see him today and to bring him some food. He loved the Easter cupcake. We talked for a few minutes outside.

First Garden Harvest 2020

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
