Tuesday hit me like a overwhelming Monday, especially after an emotional weekend. Everywhere I look, there is a mess to clean up, organize, wipe down, dust, sweep, mop....
My clothesline was in full swing yesterday (leaving no room for bedding, so that's going on the line today), as well as my dishwasher.
Tree trimming is on the list now. Oh how low those branches are right now.
After a few pots of coffee I dove into cleaning the kitchen first, while my washing machine went full swing. It was one of those days where every job gave me another one. Like putting dinner in the crock-pot to find out that my bottle of organic chili pepper was low and needed refilled.
I got my smaller dehydrator cleaned and put away, foaming hand soap refilled, previous laundry day folded and put away, plants watered, and organized one dresser drawer.
It'll probably continue that way all week, but in the end it'll be lookin' purty darn good in the house. That's the plan anyway.
Shopping list is getting long. I need to make a new canning journal, and need to update it.
The car is down now. I have no vehicle, but it's not like a don't have work to do.
Menu for the week
-crock pot fiesta chicken and black beans
-tuna sandwiches, beets (might make the sandwiches grilled)
-chili
-leftovers
-breakfast for dinner (undecided yet)
The week is already halfway gone. I better get busy.

First Frost
Hunter's Moon 10-13-19 if you didn't get the chance to see it.
The funeral for our great great niece is now behind us. Another emotionally exhausting day yesterday.
Woke up today to 37°F but a possible high of 72°F. I'll be burning calories today. Oh my, my house, gardens, etc are a hot mess. My clothesline will be in full swing today too. I'm behind on everything, but ready to get to work. I need to keep busy.
There has been no answer to getting a visit with Jesse. I just don't understand a few of our adult kids, but still hopeful.
On a different note, my broccoli sprouts grew mold before we could even taste them. The grow container I have, has too big of holes for these seeds. If you have a resource for a container with smaller holes I'd love to hear from you. I think I'll grow soil based microgreens next when I can though. I placed paper towels in my container, but alas - mold (sad face).
