may day in the life

Hello friends 

I'm Mrs Columbia, and I'm new to being a wife, mother, and trying to be a homesteader. I want to share my story so I can look back over the years at all that's changed and we have accomplished. 

This morning we woke up late around 7 30 and it was a warm and sunny i started a load of towels and had my coffee on the front porch the children played in the yard after having a bowl of cereal for breakfast. 

When the laundry was finished, I hung ut out on the clothes line. I washed our bed sheets and opened all the windows. After shaking out the area rugs, I decided that I wanted to play in the garden.

This fall, when the leaves fell, I didn't get a chance to rake them out of my garden, so I did that and pulled any weeds. I picked out some for the larger rocks and cheeked on the strawberry plants and the rhubarb plants they are looking amazing.

When the beding was finished washing, I took the towels in and folded them, and hung the sheets out to dry. For lunch, we had leftover beef stew and biscuits, and then it was nap time. While they napped, I went through the mail and paid the bills. 

After nap the children played out side and I washed dishes and swept the floor then I washed the floor it's still mud season so it won't stay clean very long but at least there isn't any mud spots any more. 

For supper, I made lasagna and salads because yesterday, our refrigerator started acting up. we have a service guy coming out tomorrow to check on it. It's making making it about 28 degrees, so things like Lettuce need to be used up so they don't go bad.

After we had supper, I got the kids bathed and asleep and washed the dishes and ran the dishwasher. I got the sheets off the line folded and put away. Cleaned up from the kids playing with toys after supper, and then I went to sleep around 10 pm.

More next week, I will be trying to post every Sunday morning
