Its been a while since I have posted anything on here. Not because I haven't been doing anything but because I have been so busy. My garden is beautiful. I have peppers. Actual peppers (pic to follow). Everything has blossoms on it which I can only assume means it will produce. We have already eaten lettuce and radishes.
My flowers are slow to follow the vegetable garden but they are coming along. I still have work to do on this area. My hope is that the hard work this year will pay off in years to come as I have planted many perennials.
I have a mini vacation going on right now and originally told Kevin and Liana we were going to go away for a couple of days. Unfortunately money is so tight right now we were unable to. Kevin went to help my parents so I loaded Liana and a bunch of things in the van and headed to the Almond damn. I pitched the tent all by myself. My attempt to start a fire was comical due to recent rain. Liana was able to get it going and we made campfire nachos. We did have to call in backup wood as we didn't bring enough. Happily Kevin showed up. It was a simple trip but fun.
Last night Liana wanted fajitas for dinner. We had some venison steaks in the freezer so I threw some seasonings together and low and behold they were awesome. Normally I shy away from experimenting with the venison because they hunters in this house take it very serious and love the steaks. Everyone begged me to make these again.
This morning I decided to put a pork roast in crock and make some pulled pork sandwiches. We always use the same recipe for sauce and I decided to try my hand at something different. At first it was a little off but after a little tweaking its great!
These all seem like simple things but 5 or so years ago I didn't dare try anything new for fear of failure or belittling. I am so proud of myself and this gives me confidence to try other things. Still have not done the hems on my work pants but I will.
