Searching for motivation this week. I think I found it in a cup of coffee and a soft comfy couch...LOL So much to catch up on today so lets get to it!!!!
Memorial Day Weekend:
Hooray for a long weekend! This is the first day we have had off since New Years so it was much needed. I thought our weekend would be pretty blah and low key, but that is never the case. There was lots of work to be done around the house and garden this weekend and we managed to get everything done and squeeze in a little bit of time for good food, friends and family...who says you can't do everything? Saturday Mark and I decided to host a small cook out at our house. Grilling, music, corn hole friends and fun. We had a nice time hanging out and spending time with our friends. Sunday was fun day this week ;) Off to a cook out hosted by our friend Katie...same story different location. Lot's of fun!!! Sunday and Monday I relaxed by the pool and ended up with a mild sun burn. Quiet unusual for me...I never get burnt oh well I welcome the redness that will fade to tan. Monday night Mark and I went out to eat by the pond (a place at the mall) with my Mom and Winston we had dinner and ice cream afterwards. What a great ending to a long weekend. All of my favorite things :)
Puppies:
The next generation of rabbit dogs arrived at our door step on Sunday. Three little girls and 1 little boy they are so sweet and super cute!!! I guess that I should explain that our hunting dogs are beloved pets as well...they just have a little more purpose than the average pet :) I have been waiting for these puppies to arrive here for the past 4 weeks and we have named them all and they are settled in, now they just have to play and grow. Benny one of our males is the father of these pups and they are beautiful just like their daddy.
So cute...my babies (Daisy, Shelby, Maybelle, and Bocephus)
Look at those faces :)
Garden:
If you haven't figured it out I love the garden. I get so excited every time I see something new popping up in the rows or a plant starting to bloom. Your probably thinking...LOSER ha ha I don't care, once you work so hard on something you will understand. I walk through the rows almost every day inspecting every plant to see whats new. Today I have super exciting developments!!!! The garden has dried out to the point where I can walk down the rows without sinking up to my ankles in mud. We were worried that a few of the last seeds we planted had been washed away, but to my surprise today I saw the cantaloupes and okra protruding from the ground :) Some parts of the rows did wash out so we have some missing okra, cantaloupe, squash and cucumbers but for the most part our garden is looking very fruit full. I am almost done with the garden peas...I think I have about 2 good pickings left before they are done for the season. So here are all my discoveries from today.
baby tomatoes...this is the first time in several years that we have had healthy looking tomato plants. Almost every plant we have has blooms or small tomatoes on them and we have at least 20 plants. Can't wait to sink my teeth into a tomato sandwich!!!
Banana Peppers
Zucchini
So you may be wondering what all we have planted in our garden. I don't know if I can remember everything without standing and looking at the rows, but I will give it a try. This year we planted all of the following things: garden peas, potatoes, silver queen corn, cabbage, black eye peas, snaps, butter beans, okra, squash, cantaloupe, cucumbers, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, zucchini, and I am pretty sure I am missing something but that's all I can remember. I can't wait to start picking everything and having plenty of fresh veggies...yum!
Monthly Round Up:
Last but not least tonight my monthly round up for May. Not so great on the grocery shopping this month, but in my defense I do have a freezer full of chicken and these totals include our last minute cook out, which I did not have coupons for any of the items :( I spent $304.30 and saved $528.08 a savings of 63.5% I am not too disappointed, but not the greatest month of savings.
As for coupon match ups for the week...right now I have posted nothing. I have seen the Kroger and Harris Teeter ad for the week and they are not looking to hot. Tomorrow I should receive the Food Lion and Lowes food ad tomorrow so we will see what they look like. Seems like this will be a good week to take a break from grocery shopping. I will keep you posted.
