Antibiotics, Migraines, Zucchini, Painting, Group Sorting for Study

Hello Friends!

Tough Week… I’ve been working so hard on painting the house and deck, garden, and canning that I’ve run myself down.  Whenever I overdo I get bladder infections; which happened this week so I had to go on antibiotics after having to go to the doctor’s office twice this week.  I also had five of the seven days with a migraine.  We had a family meeting with Dd and it was quite the blow-up.  She isn’t talking to us now.  So, all-in-all it was a really hard week.

Canning:  I had been cooking down tomatoes last week, as I have all month, and canned the tomato paste this week.  It looked really good!

Garden:

The new seedlings are coming up in the hoop house!  Things are looking well for our fall/winter garden.  Since we have dug up all the potato beds, Dh planted parsnips and turnip seeds there.

BSF: Bible Study Fellowship: Genesis

I’m doing BSF on Zoom this year.  Last week was our first week and I never really had a chance to say anything, but this week I was able to participate and feel more comfortable with the group of ladies.

House:

Dh was painting and replacing stairs on the back staircase this week.  It is a small staircase but on the dark backside of our house.  The case wasn’t built well and it looks like Dh will be having to remake most of it and reposition it off the ground so it won’t rot. Dh also painted the stairs and protected the wood.    I painted trim white and painted our exterior doors red.

Dd’s Progress:

Dd applied to work at  Walmart; her interview went well and she was hired.
