May 1st and May #1

Hello everyone 

Have any of you wondered how my to do lists look at the end of the week? 

 It’s rare that everything on the lists get done but I’m OK with the progress I made last week. 

Those tiny volunteer lettuce plants  I found at the beginning of garden season have done so good! 

I’ll be picking the biggest of them this week and we may just have salad every day 

The taller plants are broccoli grown from seed 

We did some cleaning up and changing around in the backyard and didn’t need this assortment of chicken wire stuff.

So I put it on a local Buy Nothing group on Facebook (where people give away or ask for free things, nothing is sold)

Anyway,  it was picked up 15 minutes after I listed it.  

That was a very easy way to clean up a situation and I’m guessing whoever picked it up had a use for it.  

I apologize for not doing VEDA all 30 days.  Some family things (not bad things) went on this week that had my attention and they just aren’t things I will blog about.

Happy May 1st everyone 🌺 🌸 🌹

Sorry about the gap in posts- we’ve had some busy days and this week looks to have a few busy days too. Anyway today,  I show some of the things we’ve been up to 

It’s baseball season here and 4 of the grandsons are playing on different age kid teams. 

It was so much fun seeing 2 of the grandsons play each other this week.  

 

And “Just yesterday” they looked like the photo on the right.  

Last week I did a grocery pickup - here is the pantry and fridge stuff,  the frozen things were already put  away 

The watermelon was a dud and the 3 boxes of honey buns are for my 89 year old dad.

This weekend,  we had a 5 cousin sleepover.  

For us,  having the Covid vaccines and having very low Covid rates in our state has meant we can go back to more normal lives and it’s wonderful! 

Then on Sunday morning, my parents and brother joined us for breakfast 

I didn’t get a photo of everyone at the same time but there were 11 here and we all ate at this big table.  

I served  a big breakfast and everyone enjoyed it.  The only leftover leftovers were a couple of biscuits and sausage patties. 

When I cook for a group with 5 grands buzzing around the kitchen - I take advantage of easy to prepare things, 

They are not the thriftiest options but they all cook up quickly and taste very good. 

I did a little sewing last week- 4 quirky potholders and I have more cut out to sew. 

Our son has been cooking competitively and cooked this weekend in a steak cook off up north.

He won 1st in Steak and 1st and 2nd in Boozy drinks 😳

Aren’t those crazy and way over the top? 

Well- I need to be working on my to-do list right now. 

Hope you’re all having a wondertful Monday 

Bye from Windy Oklahoma  💨
