Busy Day

Today is a dump day. Tomorrow is farm day. I have to do or finish the following:

• Salsa
• Deal with the remaining hot peppers
• Finish moving the compost heaps
• Finish raking the lawn (it was mowed yesterday)* in process
• Work on the porch*
• Work on the south side of the house*
• Finish the shed cull
• Finish filling the kindling boxes
• Fill (as much as possible) the wood shelter
• Finish grading around the patio
• Clean my car Done! Or as much of it as I’d planned to do!
• Blueberry/Peach cobbler peaches have been cleaned and peeled
• Make jam (see cobbler, which will happen first. If I’ve got enough peaches, I’ll make jam, but not otherwise)
• Clean out the fridge Done!
• Haul the large load of construction debris to the dump 1st load has been set up although not taken to the dump, yet. Two loads taken, one small load remains to be taken later this week.
• Catch up the laundry 2nd load in the dryer, 
• Work on the cleaning plan
• Call the auto glass, gravel, firewood, and pest control people.

*Either waiting on something from DH or could use his help, or is something which needs to work with his schedule of work on the house.

If you’re thinking that there’s no way I can get this done in ONE day? You’re absolutely correct!

These are the short-time projects:

• Finish filling the two kindling boxes
• Blueberry/Peach cobbler
• Clean my car

These can be worked on or completed as other things are being worked on:

• Salsa
• Blueberry/Peach cobbler
• jam
• Catch up the laundry

So, it is likely I will deal with the peaches (cobbler and jam), finish the salsa, work on catching up the laundry, fill the kindling boxes while I’m doing other things, probably going to the dump multiple times!

Yesterday I took our old breadbox, a Perfection table top stove, to the antique store. The Victrola horn sold — hurrah! The stove looks sort of like this:

and I took a wrought iron lamp we’ve had forever too. The sewing machine table is the next item slated to be removed, but I have to clear off a coffee table, move it and then get a lot of junk out of the way, first. There are other, more pressing things to do, obviously. With luck the sewing machine table base will be removed by the end of the week.

I’m assuming the Hoosier cabinet sold last Thursday at auction. I have not let myself call the auction house to find what it sold for. I’ll get a check and that’s all I need to know.

Onward!
