We woke up to a brisk 36°F outside this morning. I'm so glad I brought in my hanging potted flowers, and all of the veggie plants. I was worried about getting things planted late, but this year I am glad we are behind. I even brought in my potted comfrey plant. Brr.
I failed to write down my meal plan, and discovered I had a pound of ground beef, and a pound of sausage thawing at the same time. I cooked both up, put some sausage in the fridge for dinner, and split up the rest to freeze for the up coming week. I guess you could can I made a plan from a failed plan ha ha!
I made us some air fryer stuffed mushrooms for the first time. These had some sausage in them. They were delicious, but now my husband wants me to try other recipes, ha ha!
No gardening these past few days. It's been too cold, and my husband was called off to help a family member, so no more tilling either. I dumped all the grow bags, and every single one had holes in them. The plan is to replace them with raised beds.
When the kids were in elementary school, I signed up for several holiday classroom parties. I loved volunteering for the Christmas parties, and I would make a homemade ornament for every kid in the class, and even wrap every one. I had a lot of ribbon in my craft stash, and some of those rolls had 100 yards on them ha ha! I have saved any ribbon I use for crocheted baby booties, and have boxed up the rest to donate. I have 4 boxes ready to deliver, but may need to go through a few more items. They are going to a center for women.
I also created handmade ornaments every single Christmas to gift my family. I did this for years, and loved creating a new one every year. They probably had enough for several trees, ha ha! I just stopped making them after a while, but this was the latest purge. Feels good to unload some things for once.
I harvested my oregano before the frost arrived. It is thriving this year.
