Grateful April 4

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 good friends. Over the last few weeks I have gotten so many phone calls from my friends to check up on my family. Do we need anything?  I have gotten texts about toilet paper and do I need some. Texts from a friend that was at a store that had eggs and bread. What do we want? Several trades have been going on. One friend ran out of potatoes so I gave her some. She dropped off a bottle of wine as thanks. We are all looking out for each other, not hoarding our supplies. My one friend loves to sew. She is making masks for the hospitals. Now that the CDC said to wear masks, she texted saying that she is making my family some. In times like these, you find out who your true friends are. 

 What are you grateful for today?

    I am extremely grateful for Instacart. I am seriously staying at home or Mom's and Instacart deliveries allows me to get groceries for both of us without having to go to the store.

    I am thankful I had parents that taught me to value what I have and to be prepared for anything.

      My parents taught me the same thing and I am teaching my kids too.

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
