If you are wondering, I have not had time to learn to knit socks. I have been that busy most days. I guess that's a good thing, but I have hopes in coming out of this pandemic learning something new.
It's been a cold April here too. We also ran out of cut/split wood, so the heaters are back on sadly. Hubby has been working on the car after work and there was also a fuel problem, so that meant more parts and more work.
Not much I can do in the garden without the help of my husband so the peas have yet to be planted. Yesterday snow was in our forecast again (which we got a little of) and then rain.
First thing in the morning, I dug out my fusible web (which took time to find) and some scrap fabric. I had to patch one daughter's favorite pants.
I filled 3 large trays with garlic yesterday. Not my home grown, but home grown in another state. I rely on the farmer's market for a spring batch of garlic powder. I made another one in the fall. Tedious work, but worth the work.
The days here are going too fast. I am writing out my to-do's on a list today to make sure some things get done. It took an hour or more to slice all that garlic, so today I work on some household chores and outdoor projects. I need to make a list for the green house as well.
Update on the car. I may have her back tonight. She needed a new fuel pump and an oil change, on top of the intake being replaced. Thankful to have a biker friend who is laid off to help us out.
Such a shame that you are not getting the time to learn something new but you are doing really well getting lots done. Good news about the car hopefully it will e back and running soon. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeletemamasmercantile, a lot of my lack of free time is because I'm preparing for the worst fall next fall and winter and making sure we are well stocked in all departments. I hope to get some free time maybe this weekend and next week. Hopefully Friday as well.
