buddy and welcome it's Friday and I hope you enjoy this little bit of a vlog of
what I'm working on this week we've been having a very busy week all of the
things that we got to see thrifty Thursday and the Amish Mennonite store
and all those wonderful things and talking about Tasha Tudor and so today
I'm just gonna show with you a little things that I'm working on behind the
scenes while I'm making my videos so what am i doing and what did I do this
week and what am I looking forward to for next week
hmm let's get started so the first thing I have to do is my laundry and as you
see I moved my washing machine back into this out porch it's really nice for me
because it's closer to the house and my water source also it's nice for me
because if it's raining I can still be out here and not have to get wet running
back and forth from the house now I do still have it as a laundry area in the
little Playhouse and I'm going to use my off-grid laundry system out there every
day that it's nice out I do my laundry in the summertime because I never want
to get to the point where I'm so backlogged with laundry and so every day
I just do a little bit and it works out good because this machine is so small I
love this little washing machine now my daughter has one that's a little bit
bigger and someday I probably would get that when this one gives out I'm working
on some laundry you know my life is consistent laundry cooking cleaning
gardening canning it's everyday but it's the everyday joys in life that really
give you purpose and no matter what part of the country we live in we all have
the same duties that we have to do the same jobs that we have to do and so we
just do it a little bit different each of us that's what makes us unique
I've been really blessed with having some beautiful sunny days now we did
have a storm and one of a big tree limbs fell and almost hit the great barber but
it missed it so we're getting some tree trimmers out to actually cut that tree
way back but other than that he had a very quiet week this week I do run to
remind you there is not going to be a video on Saturday I knew I had a couple
of them in the past but this Saturday it won't be any so if you want to watch one
of my other ones you're more than welcome to so let's get started on some
other chores that I had today hmm I wonder what I'm gonna be doing it's
always something around the homestead this is the third picking of these
spring onions as you remember I bought them for a dollar and now this is the
third picking so what I'm doing is I'm gonna harvest the tops and we're going
to cut them and we're going to dehydrate them and we're gonna use them Emery
place of chives so let's get cutting in the Sun Oven and they're going to
dehydrate for free and it will not take long at a temperatures as high as this
so I'll show you what they look like when we're finished so this is what they
look like all dried and I will probably just put them in a blender for just a
few minutes to get them all nice like little flakes and we use this in replace
of chives
a quick lunch at my daughter's house with hot ham and cheese sandwiches
something really easy to make and Wow it tastes amazing some of them are barbecue
and some of them are hot ham and cheese
spending the day at my daughter's house and look what I spotted my two
grandchildren watching the video that they did on the Munch of pack food
tasting I quick pulled out my camera to show you all their expressions and the
delight that they were having on the videos that I made I think that's what
life is about my friends it's the little things in life the things that are your
everyday experiences and putting a smile on the face of someone and making
someone feel important and special that's what life is about no matter what
you do in life make other people feel like they are special and loved
well we're closing for another week what a week we've had a lot of canning and
cooking and cleaning and thrift store fines and spending the time with my
grandchildren and being with all of you three weeks ago I left my guard down for
the first time in my whole entire life I totally let my guard down and showed you
my world and showed you my life and my thoughts three weeks ago when I did that
starting on that Sunday video I didn't know how I would be perceived I didn't
know what would happen to my channel by sharing with you my intimate thoughts on
life since then my channel has just grown by leaps and bounds but it's not
because of me it's because of all of you for everything there is a season and
sometimes we are to step out and make a leap of faith that what we are doing is
what we are called to do and sometimes we are to remain quiet and to reflect
this is a time in my life where I'm taking a leap of faith I'm stepping out
onto a limb and then them is strong and the NIMH is supporting me because of all
of you you have opened up your heart to me and loved me unconditionally
and I don't see a lot of that on YouTube or a lot of that in the world for that
matter but somehow somewhere the people that are coming to my channel are all
like-minded and beautiful amazing people who want to share a life and want to
share a kindness and I thank you all for it
whoever thought that just sharing your life and not being so worried about the
editing out parts just sharing it fully would bring such joy and happiness and
love who would have ever thought I just have one wish for it my channel one
simple wish I wish for my channel that you all would continue to enjoy my
channel and enjoy my life that you would continue to feel blessed
and encouraged and you would continue to find friendship and me and in others
that's all I wish for and I thank you for the bottom of my heart for every
single thing you've done for me because without you I wouldn't be able to do and
share what I am these days take care everyone
and we'll see you Sunday
