This week :
wedding invitations were addressed, stamped and sent out, the stamps were ordered from Stamps.com with Alexandra and Lewis’ picture on them
had a sudden influx of eggs from the chicken, very rare in summer since they usually slow down production
zested a huge pile of lemons to make the limoncello for Christmas. It has to ferment for about 90 days so if we don’t do it now, we will not have any yummy homemade liquer for the holidays
started to go through the kids artwork and frame my favorite pieces for the upstairs hallway wall
put the buffet/side board in the foyer up for sale. Hated to see it go but we have too much furniture and we have been moving away from the formal look for a few years. The dining room is next since we have again outgrown our dining room table. It will be replaced with a more rustic farm table and long shelves on one of the walls to hold my pyrex collection and serving pieces
finished baby beans hat, will share it on Wednesday
enjoyed many delicious meals made by my budding chef Nick. This is the only one I took a picture of but the flavor was restaurant quality. Out of nowhere he started wanting to cook and everything he has made has been absolutely amazing
our well pump broke and we are still at this moment without water. Luckily we were able to catch some water as the water supply dwindled to nothing. We set aside enough water for drinking, flushing toilets and brushing teeth. The boys however, did have to bucket brigade more water this morning down from the pond in order to flush the morning toilets. We are hoping the fix will not be too expensive.
last night it started to rain so I sent the smaller, slightly dirtier kids out with a bar of Dr Bronners to bathe in the rain. As you see this turned into a game of chase each other with the soap but it made this inconvenience much more fun for them.
we got to use our great big enamelware water jug. It is all the water we have for use other than drinking. It has been interesting to see the kids figure out how to use less water. Hoping for a quick fix because the laundry is growing.
