Finding to a Way to Get it all Done and Make Dinner Everyday?

 

Spring has sprung, the rains have calmed down, and now the outside chores seem overwhelming.  I have a list a mile long to complete outside as well as cleaning house and making dinner (I'm sure everyone has this problem).

Here is a sample of my outdoor work:

Clean up front yard garden

Plant the rest of the Herb ladder

Set up my worm bin I bought for $25 at a sale (seemed like a good deal).

Trim peach tree as well as hydrangea bushes

Plant onion plants

and that list gets added to everyday!

The husband has his own list...I see him running around all the time fixing and cleaning things (I know he is secretly praying that I don't break anything else).

Dinner Everyday? 

Pile on the indoor work of cleaning, laundry, etc. making dinner everyday can be exhausting.  Monday was a cooler day with just greenhouse work, I made lasagna and garlic bread.  Then we had enough to have leftovers on Tuesday.  

With the warm spell on Wednesday and a husband who does a great job on the grill, we had enough dinner for 3 days ..it included hamburgers, hot dogs, and hamburger steak.  I work on the side dishes like salad with lettuce from the green house, cornbread, wilted lettuce, green onions, and baked potatoes.  Today (Friday), we are on our third day.  

I have a great goal for his grilling on Saturday marinated chicken and grilled rosemary pork chops.   I need to get it out of the freezer to thaw today.

Planning as far ahead as we can helps a lot.  Working together is priceless.
