Thrift Store Find


1 (Morgan Jones) double bed sheet and 2 pillow cases - $3.69 total.  1 cotton blanket - $1.00


The blanket will be used for the kidding time with the goats (used towels are smaller and cost more at thrift stores here), and the sheet and pillow cases will be used on beds here.  They will also be used for my summer, backyard wall tent and for camping.

I've been making my own detergent for awhile now and had noticed that my hand towels were getting pretty dark in the middle so I bought and used oxi bleach...I think it's peroxide based, to see if that would help on my pastels. If they don't start coming clean I'm going to have to do something else. I'm putting "clean" clothes on and they're not looking very clean! Any ideas? I use the washing soda, baking soda, and Borax recipe.
Great buy at the thrift store! I snagged a set of L L Bean flannel sheets once at a garage sale for $3.00 and every time I use them I smile! Love a great deal/steal!
I hope your doggy feel better soon...poor thing especially when they're always so brave and uncomplaining.
Back about 7 years ago, I used to make my own "oxi clean" but haven't since I moved. I'll see if I can find the recipe and try some on our white towels. I think it was peroxide, washing or baking soda and maybe one other ingredient. I'll see if I can find it.

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

I've Been MIA and Heat Wave

First day of July.  It's hot.   I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon.  Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive.  We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember.  So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days.  Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about  77 degrees.  The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week.  No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat  wave).  I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now.   Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest.  The last two stalks were harvested June 29th.  The longest asparagus season we've ever had.  They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

Reminders?

      On the positive side (after the hot pepper debacle). . .                                                We are looking forward to creative healthy meals, derived from the garden and whatever is in abundance, or available.  The chickens helped supply this meal last year and was delicious. Beets roasted with onions and rosemary from the herb garden.  Also, a picture from previous garden years.  Oh, we put thyme on these too, and also from the herb garden. Not to forget those tomatoes and all the sauces made over the years.  That dish included asparagus from the garden, as well as oregano from the herb garden. Sometimes a roll down memory lane gives us the spark to keep gardening and planting.  Maybe.   Reminders?   ©  June 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart
