You would think that I ditched all the work inside when I worked outside but that is hardly the case.
I did both.
This morning I made my bed, picked up stuff in the living room put it in its place and I put on a couple pounds of dry red beans to cook, they cooked on low while I was outside working in the yard and working on the outside of the house.
First I nailed down the nails that had worked up over the cold Winter. When the lumber in the deck gets cold and draws up the nails ease up and I trip on them or worst, I get my sock hung and it rips.
Then I did the same to the metal shed, and I did hear a few things fall and I had to go inside to put it back into its place.
Clearing more land can be hard at times and it most certainly is an upper arm workout. I trimmed back about a five foot by thirty foot section. The old hedge bushes had grown tall and were leaning over, some small as a pencil some big as ball bats, I only trimmed the ones that I could cut with the loppers. I intend to buy a chainsaw, soon.
When I came inside the beans were done. I started dinner, we had red beans and rice. The red beans that were left over I canned, as well as one jar of red beans and rice that was left over. I have learned to can my food and it lasts so much longer, plus its ready to eat when I don't have time to cook, another plus is its cheap and healthy.
After dinner I started the laundry and I got that finished by time the beans were finished processing in the pressure canner. Then I washed up the dishes.
I decided to sit down for a little while so I clipped coupons and listened to the t.v., there really isn`t anything on interesting this Sunday night, I did catch one episode of bar rescue I had not seen before.
Now I am all set for the week ahead of me.
How was your weekend, did you get anything accomplished? get rid of anything? Clean up a space?

Would you not be better using screws instead of nails on those boards? Less chance they will work their way out. Didn't do anything this weekend despite having lots of plans!
ReplyDeleteNo nails are better, a couple boards are screwed down but they have bucked.
DeleteI have so much to do both inside and outside. Hopefully I'll be able to start next weekend!
ReplyDeleteI wished it was not cold, and I was not down with this back thing or I would be out there.
DeleteMy weekend wasn't as productive as yours. I had to work Saturday, and I think I just slacked of on sunday. I don't even remember what I did..so you know it wasn't much.
ReplyDeleteWell, sometimes we do have to rest. You`ll catch up :)
DeleteSounds like a very productive weekend. I spent mine driving my daughter around to play sport and study with her friends.
ReplyDeleteThat is also productive, you child was made happy :)
