I found those and grabbed them, and added some prairie milkweed and also a kind with a very interesting name. My friend who has done the whole monarch thing for years gave me a list of milkweed I needed, particularly common and swamp. I am hoping to help raise monarchs this year so I needed to go to the cool garden center too. I was joking with Billy that this particular garden center is the one ALL the butterfly people talk about, so we had to be cool too and check it out. This morning we left bright and early to go to a different garden center. This upcoming week we are taking a break from school, maybe I just need a refresh. It was just sort of like a week on autopilot. Not good, not bad, I can’t quite say what I even did this week. Absolute perfection.Īnd that is about all I have time for right now! Let me know what’s going on in your world! Last night my friend and I chatted each other and we were both under blankets watching something Agatha Christie and drinking something warm. Is this like an ancestral type memory, to feel like we have stored up food in the fall? I like to live in tune with the seasons, even though our rhythms are so different than those long ago.ĭo you live or eat differently in the fall? I know that we do. I am putting together an order for Azure Standard as well, to help fill up the pantry, and making a run to Sam’s Club, because we are not cool enough for a nearby Costco. Except we didn’t do any of the actual work, so thank you farmers out there for doing that. I have been squirreling away meat all summer, buying extra if it was on sale in case prices went crazy this fall and winter, and I feel very Ma and Pa Ingalls with our larder feeling full. Pork tenderloin, stews, pot roast, roasted chicken, the list goes on. My world is small but I am happy!īilly and I are falling back into our autumnal eating menus (pun definitely intended), and we are enjoying this return to comfort food. Today we are doing an art project in the new space and I am super excited. I don’t have to go searching in many different areas around the house anymore! I have the stuff we use the most on display, and then other supplies stored in the drawers underneath. We can sit at the table and finally all of our supplies are close to hand. It feels more like us, and is cheerier and brighter. So for now it is an art supply area and I am loving it honestly. But, the china although it is beautiful and I love it – I never used it. Turning it into something useful and more functional was a better choice, although I did get a little sad. Last Friday is usually project/errands/field trip day and I spent a few hours in the morning packing up my grandmother’s china to convert my china cabinet into an art cabinet – at least for a few years.We live in a small house and I have to use all my space as wisely as I can. I’m sure many people fell into their clever scheme… Aren’t these “mumkins” so happy and adorable? I had to get one for our porch, they just make me smile! We were at the flower and garden center because they had little photo opps set up – very smart on their end because I had to take Wyatt of course, and ended up buying this mum.
