Pesky little worms

I was so excited that my lettuce was almost big enough to eat. One morning they looked beautiful, that evening worms had eaten a bunch of the leaves. I picked some of them off and will look again when I get home. I am so grateful we don't have to depend on what I grow for survival, we would be mighty hungry or peckish. Peckish is a new word I learned while teaching one of my classes.

Weekend with the grandchildren

I went this weekend with my grandchildren's other grandmother to keep them for the weekend.   We had a very good time, but it was very tiring. Here are a few pictures. 

I made it a month

I did make it for a month without going to the grocery store very much.  I did buy dairy products, bread and fresh produce.  For the most part, that is all I bought.  My freezer is emptier, but not all the way.  I am going to try to keep getting rid of the old so I can add some new.  I buy most of my meat from the reduced meat section in our grocery store; it is very hard to walk by there and not buy something we could use.
