tell people that I have a clean kitchen and Wow what you see is so clean my
problem is what's in the cupboards I'm the kind of person that will stash
everything in cupboards so when you walk in my house it looks really clean but
what you don't see is behind my cupboards and said today I'm working on
one of my covers and I'm really embarrassed to show you this but this is
real life and this is how it is show you what I'm working on in the kitchen and
it's not cooking so I just love the look of glass and I love this little cupboard
space I have here everything is so nice is in glass but I don't like what that
looks like that is just absolutely horrible so embarrassing none of it is
old food but it's food I have to take care of so this is the before picture
and I'm gonna show you the after when I'm done there you go you want I have it
organized it's still really full but it's all organized and I cleaned off the
bottom of it so it's everything it's nice and sanitized and now I got that
covered done and I'm gonna work on some other ones on a bunch of old bars of
soap and so I made some laundry soap and it's so nice outside the sun is shining
so I'm able to put it in here outside which is so much easier
so that's what I do when I have a bunch of old bars of soap I add them to washy
citta and just like that I have some more laundry soap for when I need it
my days are filled with projects just like this lots and lots of small
projects that make up the day really windy day so I'm not gonna do a lot of
talking in this video but this chicken house is a mess and so
I gotta clean out my chicken house and you're just gonna follow along with me
so let's get started I hope these nesting boxes if if I find them too full
they won't nest in them so we're gonna put just a small layer on there all
right looks so much better now I'm going to take my broom I guys sweep off all
the cobwebs so looks pretty good to me
you
all right I can call this job complete
get down tight there we go we got two of them already done now this is probably
at least twelve tomato plants the problem people have this they plant so
many seeds they don't realize these seeds become big plants so that's it for
the Roma tomatoes now I'm going to try a very unusual pack of seeds that came
from China so we're going to try some of these Chinese seeds now they claim
they're organic but we know that that probably isn't true but this is going to
be as somewhat of a novelty item for me
I'm very impressed with the foil lining in these seed packets it's very
impressive I'm gonna go ahead we're going to put some dirt over top of them
then of course you want to have a very good watering you want to water this
very thoroughly when we're ready to put it in the Sun alrighty so there we have
these are the tomatoes that are from canning now we're going to go ahead and
we're going to plant some of the Cherokee purple
I bought these seeds at Walmart they're organic I got them for one dollar and
it's like the second year now having these it's 9:00 a.m. and I have to pay
my washout
I do a little wash every day that it's nice it keeps my loads of wash a lot
smaller and a lot more manageable for me I started my youtube channel I thought
what in the world am I gonna videotape it's the same thing day after day after
day cooking and cleaning and hanging washout and all of these things but
quickly I realized that it's the day-to-day things people like to see not
everybody has the same lifestyle idea
some people live in the city they don't hang the washout I'm soon gonna be
celebrating 32 years of marriage I knew those 32 years I've been very blessed to
live this life I never worked outside the home
I never earned the income wow that means there was a lot of things I wasn't able
to buy that also means there's a lot of things that I was able to discover and
to enjoy I don't know what it's like to live the rat race of life and to be out
in the workforce I don't know what that's like all I know is cooking and
cleaning and of being a wife and a mother and a grandma and while I may not
have the things that money can buy the modern things that some women have I do
have this life and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world and I've
learned the older I get the more blessed I am for having been able to live this
life in the culture that I was raised in the
women didn't work away from home this was my culture this is how my mother and
then my grandmother my great-grandmother this is my German heritage this is how
the women were raised we were raised to stay at home and to care for our family
and I'm really embracing that and I'm really realizing that it's not things
that I don't have it's the things that I do have and the older I get the more I'm
realizing how blessed I really am you enjoyed spending the morning with me
from Fanny's diary we are on March the 30th 1943 and Fanny writes today was a
very nice day we went out and cleaned some dandelion for mother and Lizzie
grub one thing that I am realizing is when she says daddy she's not referring
to her daddy she's referring to her husband she
called him daddy in her Diaries that's what it seems like to me like a lot of
times my husband will say hey mom or mom and we often did that is that something
with our Pennsylvania Dutch or do husband and wives call themselves mom
and dad I'm not sure about that but Fanny is not talking about pea so I'm
thinking daddy was pink as I sit here at my desk editing your video I just want
to thank you taking a moment just to thank you for all of the wonderful
things you've done for me your love and your support and watching my videos and
sharing your life with mine these things I hold in my heart forever
you
