Garden Time---NOT!

I am SO excited because I have just let myself off the hook from doing a garden this year.

I know--where I live that is huge! A garden is a good sign of a Mormon women--well guess what--NOT this Mormon Mommy---not this year. I told Lucas that and he was 100% fine with it---but I am going to buy the food I would normally can and still can--infact, without a garden I will have more time to can more food--so I am REALLY going to try to can 2 years worth of some foods (green beans, carrots, ham chunks, turkey chunks, ground beef, tomatoes, corn, pickles, salsa, and more)--I am so excited!

I am devoted to getting my yard cleaned and with any extra money (Lucas's truck will official be all ours next week--and we will use it to pay down the debt we now have thanks to it, and other things--car/school) that we happen upon I am going to get my yard the way I want it.

I have NEVER really cleaned up my yard in the 5 years we have lived here so it is going to be a big job. The weather has been wonderful the past two weeks (when it is not snowing) so I have tried to work on it some daily, but I have maybe gotten 1/100 of it done. I have already filled 9 black trash bags full of yard trash--leaves, sticks, sawdust, and all that stuff. I haven't even started on the messy parts of the yard. YUG!

I have two huge burn piles I will have to burn just a little at a time--one great thing about living in the country!

I am working on a yard plan--I will fill you all in when it is done!
