Happy Thrifty Thursday!
I had a good week. Here were some of the highlights: 1. Steer: we took our steer to the butcher's, finally! Oh, what a happy day. We've had a handful of animals on our homestead, and the large animals are always my least favorite. They mangle fences and are near impossible to corral or get under control. Still, every couple of years I find myself getting another large animal... I seem to forget what a hassle they are. It was a small miracle that we even found a place to take it to this year. In 2020, most of the processing plants were booked out several years. And not only did we find a butcher, but we also found a freezer to put the animal in. Yay! 2. Garden: I harvested green beans, beets, tomatoes, leeks, hot peppers, long beans, cucumbers, pears, grapes, butternut squash and ornamental gourds this week, along with several medicinal herbs. I dehydrated tomatoes and froze several bags of beans. I also set the medicinal herbs out to air dry. 3. Decor: I used some of the ornamental gourds and miniature pumpkins to decorate our home for fall. I also got our our box of fall decorations and used many of those, as well. 4. Running: while I didn't increase my run time this week, I did increase my running distance to 1.66 miles. My hope is that, by increasing the average distance, I can run a single mile faster. 5. Reading: I've been working my way through Ina Gaskin's Spiritual Midwifery and Dr. Christopher's School of Natural Healing. Both are a bit "woo-woo" for me, but they also have some good points and I am learning more about health by reading them. I believe that's about all for this week. Blessings, ~Prudence~
