Wow Alee! You are superwoman! I'm tired just reading all the good stuff you got done today. I hope you have a good visit with your friend tonight.
-Got up about 8:30
-Had my tea and cookie, then onto the computer for awhile, then had egg and toast for brekkie.
-Found out I start my new online job on Monday! Woot!
-Set up my little roadside stand outside - I've almost sold out of everything!
-Sorted the last of the garage sale stuff in the garage, got it sorted for a nice lady who came and took it off for her church bazaar. The garage is almost empty...
-Listed a WI plate on ebay, and some freebies here in Barter.
-Picked concord grapes, washed jars and made 8 jars of grape jelly, yummers.
-Sorted pears, and made a couple bags of freezer pear pie filling with the ripest ones.
-Fed the chickadees (chickens)
-Popped a homemade pizza in to the oven for supper
-Now I'm just about to put a whole buncha books on my bookmooch list, watching PBS waiting for the US debate to start..

Hi Lisa!
Believe it or not- dust is my favorite! Vacuuming, dusting with a cloth or polish- it doesn't matter! You see such amazing results so quickly! It keeps the motivation up!

Well it's too early to say what I've done today although, I have the tomatoes simmering on the stove for sauce I want to can today.
Yesterday:
Uncovered the garden. That's a daily thing, now.
Picked some peppers and paste tomatoes and the last cantaloupe out of the garden
Made a scarecrow to sit up in the wagon with all my pumpkins from the garden
Got up on the roof to do some minor repair and then wasted nearly an hour trying to muck up the courage to get back on the ladder to get down!
Hired a youngster to get up on the other part of the roof to do the rest
Helped dh with his phys therapy on his shoulder
Dishes
Swept, mopped the floors
Picked another bucket of plums
Covered the garden back up at the end of the day
Skinned and cut up 30lbs tomatoes and got them in the pot with other ingredients to start cooking in the morning
Washed up all the stuff I used to get the tomatoes processed
Doesn't seem like I accomplished much. I really wanted to get the tomatoes further along and at least get the plums and laundry going. Oh, well there is today!

Today has been a busy day.
First I cleaned out the cupboards in the kitchen
Repapered the cupboards
Reorganized the cupboards this included all my pots and pans and bowls, small appliances, etc.
Then I washed a load of dishes in the dishwasher
Put and load of laundry in the washer, I plan to do three loads of laundry
Emptied the pantry and reorganized it
Swept the livingroom floor, bedroom floor, bathroom and kitchen floors-they are all wood floors- old wood floors we hope to refinish next Spring
Fed the chickens
Gave our horses some apples from the apple tree
Dead headed my Begonia, with help from my kitten-he kept grabbing my hand as I pulled old flowers off the plant
Reorganized the utensil, silverware drawers
Lately I'm in a reorganization mood I guess
Folded clothes, put them away
Put the clean dishes away
Made Tuna Casserole for dinner, yum!
Put another load of laundry in washer
Put dishes in dishwasher
Oh and started knitting a winter cap
I think that's it...
No. my hubby and I collected eggs from our coop and feed the horses
And I just feed the cats and dog.
Now, I'm done, in more ways than one.
I kinda like doing this listing, I can see what I have accomplished. Fun!

So far this morning I have found several holes in my kitchen where mice might be coming in. I don't have any steel wool on hand, and I try to not use commercial cleaners (like Comet) anymore, but I did have some Comet with Bleach on hand, so I poured some into the holes in my kitchen and I dusted the very bottom of the cupboards (not where my dishes go but between floor and bottom drawer) with the comet as well. I am hoping that this makes the are really unattractive to the mice and if nothing else I will see their little mouse tracks in the comet if they do come so I will know which hole is used or used most.
Then I scrubbed the floors and ended up washing them twice to get rid of any trace of Comet dust.
I replaced some runner rugs and an area rug in my kitchen after the floors were clean and then scrubbed the base boards and the two doors in my kitchen.
I washed the back splash near the garbage can and scrubbed the two doors that close off under neath the sink.
Now the only thing that needs to happen in my kitchen is vacuuming and shampooing the big area rug, but I have to wait a little while longer for Doug to wake up. So next on my list is the Dining room!
Organized a hidden fabric stash that I had forgotten about but found when I was organizing the dinning room.
Swept most of the floor (have to clean up Nora toys to get to the other half.
Took Doug to work and went to bank
Went to Organic Food store.
