I am all done rearranging my hobbies.  I took all the books out of the cellar kitchen and put them into my attic sewing room, the humidity and dust in the cellar was not doing my books any good.  I took the boxes of thread and cloth and put those into the studio where I could get to the boxes easier when I want to start a new project.  I boxed up all my writing since I have not had time to write for some time and have so many other interests right now I can’t think about writing.  So the studio looks like a ware house with almost 20 large boxes all stacked up along the back wall.  I got it all cleaned and now I can get to the computer to use when ever I want to and the upstairs bedroom is all cleaned out ready for Shanti to come for her yearly visit and for Shirley and Lori to come in September.  This will be the first time for Shirley to sleep in my house, I love having family come and wanted a place not piled sky high with my hobbies for them so they know I love having them here.  I found so many things I had forgotten I had that I have spent too much time just looking at these things.   I had saved so many magizines that had interesting article about cooking and planting but with two big stackes of magizines I could not remember what it was about them I wanted or in which book I could find anything.  So I went through those and took out the articles I wanted and put those on my neat desk, now I can search and find them with just a few clicks.  I found some very interesting recipes so have been trying those and adapting them to our way of life.  I have come up with some great tasting meals but it does take time.  Yesterday, I spent all morning cooking dinner.  We had chicken in parchment, a new campfire potatoes, squash, fried red onions, and green beans with mushrooms and onions.  While I was doing this in the kitchen I made the bread and cooked the rest of the chicken for Thursday.  I also got the rest of the shelve in the summer kitchen cleaned and rearranged so I didn’t get much else done.  I have been adding lots of new recipes like this to my personal cook book so I can do some new things for Becca and Chris when we get there.  I think it is important to have three vegetables at each main meal but to do that you have to find interesting ways to cook the old favorites and I have found some great ideas from my magazines.  Now the recipes are handy and the stackes of books are gone to the land fill and I have my shelves backs to use for all my spices and pans.  Still no rain here so weeding is hard and I still have alot of that to do before the beds are ready to leave for the winter.  Have a great day.
