Labor Day weekend ended up being a very laborious weekend. On Friday night, Bryan and Peter cut down a birch tree in our front yard. On Saturday morning to early afternoon, Peter and his brother cut down a half dozen large branches hanging over our deck and then trimmed all the trees in the yard. It is amazing how much more sunlight shines into our house now.
On Sunday, we drove up to Wausau and helped Peter’s parents lay a brick patio/walkway. On Monday, we borrowed our neighbor’s lawn edger and edged the sidewalks and driveway. Then we blew/swept off all of the sidewalks and driveway. The yard looks very nice and neat now. Peter also swept off the deck and tried to rid it of the monster spiders. I have to admit that I very rarely go out onto our deck because there are so many spiders. We are hoping that there will be fewer spiders now that we have cut down most of the tree branches that were hanging over it.
Peter’s parents have a very large garden and sent us home with a ton of produce. We have corn, zucchini, carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, onions and beans. Tomorrow Peter and I have Awanas training but starting Wednesday I will be baking, freezing and mashing (for Cailey’s baby food) all of the produce.
I am going to bed tonight feeling very accomplished. Here are some pics of the kids.
You had a very busy weekend! That’s great that you got so much produce for Cailey’s baby food! I make all of Kelvin’s food, too, and whenever I find good deals on produce, I stock up and make a ton!
It sounds like you got so much done! People at our church have been bringing their abundance of veggies/fruits every week lately because they are not able to eat it all from their gardens. So, that has been great! You’ll have to let me know if you come up with any unique baby food recipes when you make it all.
