Good morning, friends!
I've had a rough couple of weeks. The ribs are continuing to heal. I still can't bend over very well or lift things of any weight. Canuary got put on hold. I did get the chunky apple butter made before the accident but I've kept it in a plastic keeper in the fridge and we've been working from the container with fried bread, fresh bread, biscuits and Bob made an amazing Betty Crocker Spice Cake, replacing the oil with the apple butter and putting a layer in the middle. DELISH!
With all the baking, I've not gained a pound; holding at 156 since October!
Because I have limitations, Bob has been a huge help. So glad he's retired. I've been through this rib issue one time without him and that was enough.
I've been working on laundry. I can put it in the washer but Bob has to move it to the dryer, then to the bed where I can fold everything. He's also been putting most everything away because I can't bend to put things in drawers.
While I am healing. I'm off the ice packs and can breathe or sneeze without pain, I'm still going to take my time. I want to be able to get to the greenhouse and start working on the garden by end of the month.
With all the snow, all of the Christmas decor is still up in the laundry room and wouldn't normally come down until after Valentine's Day anyway so I'm okay with that. I think I can manage running the electric broom/ Swiffer but that's going to be the extent of my cleaning this week.
How much snow did you get?
The day after my fall we got about 5". Thank Old Man Winter, none of the ice. I've not left the house since the 15th and I'm okay with that. Thanks to a very well stocked pantry, we've not needed to go anywhere.
Did you catch Canuary? I didn't win any of the prizes but got some great recipes I've added to my canning list, hopefully before weather gets too warm.
Next up, FREEZE DRIED FEBRUARY!!
Angela, at The Inquisitive Farm Wife is hosting this event and Harvest Right is sponsoring the collaboration by giving away a Harvest Right Freeze Dryer!!! Just visit Angela's channel HERE for all the details!
I have several things I want to share but in limited amounts of time for a couple more weeks, so be kind while I recuperate.
Be safe, Be prepared, Be Blessed!
