I thought about my to do list and how excited I was when they said no rain this week. Yeah, they were wrong. Monday started off with a nice drizzle. I did manage to plant the tulips at the grave on Sunday ...but that gave me 41 to plant somewhere else because for some reason I bought 50 bulbs. Somewhere in the yard it will be pretty.
We have felt this week like we were in a race to get things done because winter is coming! They are forecasting snow Saturday through Sunday. Lots of snow if you believe the EURO model. I don't believe that but snow is coming for sure.
Monday.......Inside work -rain and wind. You can see I had help folding clothes from my cat. He is very smart.
I've been organizing the kitchen in my spare time. All the canners are now stored away, etc.
Tuesday...... I took down the bean teepees, helped clean up the mess from a big tree branch we chopped down (neighbors tree that grew on our property), and put the grill to the side of the patio so we can snow shovel.
Wednesday...I planned to plant 41 tulip bulbs somewhere and continue to help clean up a tree branch that we chopped down-none of this happened. It was windy and rainy. We were also tired and sore. ha ha
Thursday ..I planted 41 tulip bulbs in every place I could find and helped clean up a tree branch that we chopped down. I also put teepee poles in shed along with garden tools hanging out by the coop and got the heated chicken waterer going.
Just a disclosure: there was a lot going on so we hired our grandson to help us LOL.
Friday.... just relax! Maybe we will go for a ride this morning. It's raining and windy.
I feel like we are prepared for winter ...although the coop needs to be cleaned. There is always something...maybe we will have a warm spell.
Our Menu so far this week:
Monday chili hot dogs
Tuesday out to eat
Wednesday Pork chops, mustard greens (I stored this jar in the fridge ..it didn't seal), and mashed potatoes. One quart of greens gives us two servings. That is all we need because youngest daughter doesn't like them.
Thursday Goulash
Friday Leftover goulash warmed up with cheese on top served with garlic bread
Saturday Roast with the fixins
Sunday Roast beef sandwiches
I did make salad ahead of time this past week....I used the leaf lettuce from the greenhouse and the last of the tomatoes from the garden. Lettuce at our aldi's was $2.50 this week!

I don't like it when the rain thwarts my plans to work outside! I feel the race to get things done outside too with winter fast approaching. I did manage to work outside this morning, which makes me glad to get those items checked off my to do list. You are smart to hire your grandson to help out. All of that is a lot of work! Your tulips will be so pretty. I passed the pumpkin farm today and the field is loaded with bright orange, which is just so beautiful. The sunflowers are all in bloom too right next to the pumpkins. Yikes on the price of lettuce at your Aldi! Nice that you had some in your greenhouse to use instead.
Sounds like you accomplished a lot. I got a lot done and finished outdoors as well. We will get about 3 days acold wintery weather (flurries) and then they say back in the 60's mid week. guess it is time!
Fall is beautiful isn't Belinda. I could see the pumpkins and the sunflowers you described in my mind. Wish it would last longer.
They said it will get back warmer here too but not quite the 60s. That sounds wonderful Cheryl. Its a busy time of year.
