Tackle It Tuesday

My biggest tackle this week will be overcoming a big stinky mess.
Dove accidentally (did the wrong thing) Sunday she dumped a new full quart of "fish emoltion (POOP)".
It is used as a mix in water to fertilizer organically.
Lord , Lord!
That was cleaned up to a stink (that I could not get out of my nose) that the lab found great satisfaction in EATING!
So I slept on the sofa as to avoid the sick mess in the house just encase.
Now, today...the Golden has decided that it is just fine perfume and has summarily rolled herself (in it) right out of the HOUSE! They are sleeping out side!
I came in my home and it smelled so foul I burned some incense just to tolerate it.. I was glad of all the wonderful smells of baking before beloved came home. A great side benefit.
So "The Lab" got the jar (broken) and flung it all over the yard and himself. YUCK!
It smells like I raise fish!

Now I have two big dogs to bathe after Bible Study tomorrow!
Oh man I will have to smell it up close to bad I cant just pour tomato juice over them:)

I had dash help me here and out front teaching him to let air into the soil with the fork, so the water can penetrate.
I planted some daffodils in the front yard today.

I have been keeping up on washing the laundry and did this load and a large load I hung later.
Each day I hang laundry and I love it!
I feel so empowered to take my power back and not pay SRP (the utility) for the free sun.

The rest of the tomato and herbs are in the straw bails now. It is still so hot here that I covered them with inverted boxes while the sun was on them

My sweet son has allergy/asthma and was home today (Monday).
He was so high strung on all the asthma medication he could not stop himself from moving or talking a lot! We played 3d pinball and I tied some cords with him (as we call it hear)
I was able to get a great deal on his prescription by asking the doctor for a 90 day script with 3 refills. I will not have to visit the doctor for breathing treatments all winter for I now have the other medication that I was having to go to the hospital or the E.R. for.
BIG savings in many co-pays for visits and prescription refills.
We got him a run of antibiotics for a suspected sinus infection. With a hearing impaired should the nasal voice is easy to miss at times. He, when in health, has to effort to speak without it.
I got home from the doctor and the pharmacy and the grocery to a message. It was the pharmacy she had forgotten to put the antibiotic medication in the bag:) So Dash was a hungry good sport and I drove back up to get it.
Dash wanted to go to Mc Donald's...I told him I will take him to the store to get healthy fresh fruits and vegetable, we used the wait time (for the prescription) and he had a ball. He had so much fun getting strawberries and grapes and a green bell pepper for Dove because he know she likes them. So sweet.

Three large tubular sweet potatoes (look for uniformity)
beets need to be on a try thy will leek.
Small potatoes will be used as baked by reheating them, hash browns (they will just need to be browned and crisped)

The acorn squash was supper, I plated it cooled it then placed some brown sugar clove and butter in the bowls of it. At supper I just reheated it 3 minutes in the microwave.
I also placed in two washed pie pumpkins whole. Just placed them on the shelf.

This food all pre-prepared in an hours bake time.
This also saves utilities.
I put up all the roots in plastic ware and recycled the foil in the bin.
Cut the pumpkins in half and made pumpkins seeds.

Hot oven called for cookies and cupcakes.
Un-frosted these will freeze well. I frost a few at a time with home made butter cream.
The sunflower seeds in sea salt water were just up on top rack while the cakes baked.

I used the white kitchen aide mixer for this large quadruple batch of sugar cookies and the red mixer for the cakes. It was so cool to have the two different tools going how blessed am I. I never did find out where the red one came from. I know though that I had shared this fantasy become reality with Abba God. My sweet and loving Papa.
My frugal philosophy is if your going to make it make a lot of it and freeze it. Do the dishes once!
I placed the dough in the deep freezer for an hour and it cut beautifully.

Snacks and vegetables for the weeks meals are ready to re-heat and serve.
After Bible study I would love to work on the master bedroom and hang up the pictures we had all packed away.
Well the bedroom never saw my diligent hand.
My instructor came over after study and we shared good laughter and a salad as we spoke of the meaty things of God.
It was great for both of us. So wonderful to be like minded and like sage.
I tended the children and was the intermediary for a little girl squabble having to do with a loss of boundaries and miss communications.
At the end of the day Dove cuddled up nest to me and we watched "Family Fued" (a game show) .She looked up at me and said ..."Mommy , I love you. I had A great day and I just can't wait until tomorrow".
