I’m on pins and needles over here, waiting to hear back about two studies I qualified for. If I’m chosen, one pays out $150 and the other pays out $75 with a chance at a follow up for an additional $75! Big money you guys, but as you can imagine, it’s competitive to get in; I’m trying not to count my chickens before they hatch.
Our grocery bill is starting to even out a bit! We’re very well stocked on pantry items and now our grocery need
My little garden has me so excited! Our roma tomatoes and jalapenos are fruiting. Our first cherry tomato should be ready to eat in the next few days, our strawberries are fruiting and putting out runners, plus I’ve got sprouts coming up here, there and everywhere. The weather has been a bit unfortunate and killed off a few of my seedlings, but you know, it happens. It’s also put me a little behind on other plants, but thankfully we have a long growing season here- usually, anyway. As crazy as this year has been, I wouldn’t put it past the South to throw a blanket of snow in August.
I love gardening. There is something therapeutic about watching things grow, whether it is flowers or veggies. I like seeing the changes each day to the plants, a nice reminder that life goes on, no matter what I’m worrying about. The things we pick are a nice boon to our grocery budget- soon I’ll stop buying various produce and we’ll eat what we’re growing. Most everything I have this year came from seeds because we haven’t been out to any garden centers to pick up plants, so I’m feeling especially proud of myself.
We still have no idea when we’ll try to plan our trip! Kiddo is starting kindergarten next year, which means we can’t do our preferred early May trip. Or can we? After the distance learning this year, I kind of feel like anything goes, at least for the lower grades. I won’t rule it out right now, we’ll just have to see what crowds and the state of the world looks like. When is your next trip planned?
