When I was making Hub's salad last night I used the last head of lettuce and was telling myself that I was not going to need to buy anymore as I had at least 10 heads of romaine that were ready to pick for future salads. Well that was before the deer got to is last night, they did not leave much.
I am telling you this move has been really hard on our gardening skills, or maybe it has made us learn new ones. Like I will not plant petunias anymore. I love wave petunias but so do the deer and they chop off every blossom they come to.
So the scare crow seems to be doing his job in the garden, although when I am out watering I see him out of the corner of my eye and I think it is hubs as he is in hubs old clothes. But we have no lights or scarecrow by the back deck so the deer have a salad bar.
Hubs is almost done with the second layer of snake fence, so Roscoe will not be able to get out of the back area to the snakes. Hubs has plugged all holes in the lower fence. He now will have to build a style as we cannot climb over anymore and there are times when we will have to get over. Like when a mother cow has a baby that escapes, which seems to happen with frequency. She stands there mooing as loudly as she can, and the calf just calmly chews on the longer grass with gusto.
I have major sewing to get done today. I cannot believe the volume of work I have. I am so blessed. I was able to figure out what I want to get done in the next 10 days and it is a lot with more coming in by the hour. The Native American store called and wants as many skirts as she can get by July. Yeah I am just laughing about it right now....
Thrifty Thursday:
1. saved all my change
2. saved $1,$5,$10,$20 bill now have 22 weeks so $792
3. saved all $5 bills now have $1125.00
4. saved money in my 100 envelope challenge now have $2,182.00
5. Cooked all meals at home with company except for one where we went out.
6. used up many things from the freezer while company was here to make large meals
7. used coupons at Joanns for product.
8. used stock I had in the shop rather than buying things to repair items and then charged client
9. bought many items on sale as loss leaders before the kids came to save money
10. Recovered thrifted pillows for back deck and yard chairs.
11. downloaded receipts to fetch
Hubs wants me to take all the money I have saved to the bank. He does not feel safe with this much cash in the house. I want to wait until the end of the year, but I am already well over $4,000. What do you think? Bank? or just keep saving here?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
