A Day in my Life - May

 We interrupt this vacation to share A Day in my Life.  It's May!  

The first day of the month fell on a Saturday.  It was an unusual day because neither Bob or I were working and we didn't have any grandkids over night.  So here's how the day went.

We slept in!  We got up shortly after 8 and I made us some breakfast.

We had bacon and eggs, which is very unusual for us, but we enjoyed it!

After breakfast, I started some laundry  and then did a little meal prep.  Sundays can be busy days for us, so I usually get some meals ready on Saturday.  We usually have some type of hot sandwich at night.  I mixed up a recipe for a deviled ham spread which is put on half buns and broiled.  I also like to have something ready for a lunch, because we don't get out of church until about noon and I don't like to take a lot of time fussing when we get home.

I cooked some chicken, and added in peppers, onions and fajita mix.  On Sunday, I put it on flour tortillas with a little cheese and made fajita quesadillas.  Simple and good!

While I was doing that, I could see Bob working in the back yard.  He had mowed the lawn and was using the weed whip to trim things up.

When I finished in the kitchen, I wandered outside to check out the blooms.

The grape Hyacinths are blooming like crazy.

In the side yard, the forsythia and the red bud are blooming!  I wish they stayed in bloom all summer!

Bob and I had lunch and then he headed out to work on the front yard landscaping.

When we started on this porch project last year, all the plants had to be pulled out and moved.  Then heavy equipment came in and drove over the yard, leaving a mess!  Bob had dirt delivered before we went on vacation and had spread it out, but needed to start moving plants and bushes.

While he was working out there, I tackled a project that's been hanging over me.  We have a freezer downstairs that needed to be defrosted.  It's something I put off, because it's a pain!  It involves emptying it all out, then putting a heater in front of it, moping up melted ice and chipping it off the shelves.  Why did I not buy a frost free freezer when we got this one?

But look!  Doesn't it look good when it's done?  (In case you are wondering, the Harley Davidson bag came from a co-worker who was selling burritos for a fund raiser)

When I finished it, I was on a roll and decided to do the refrigerator and freezer in the kitchen as well.  So nice to have that done!

When I got done, I saw Bob finishing with his projects for the day.  He's not completely done yet, but made good progress on moving plants.

We had pizza for supper.  Bob had seen these Digiorno Croissant pizza's and thought they looked good.  I don't like pepperoni, so I pull it off part and move it to Bob's section.  I added cherry tomatoes and they tasted good!  The pizza was ok, but not as good as we anticipated.

Then we had a nice quiet and relaxing evening.  It was a good Saturday!
