A Day in my Life - February

 We've made it to February! Here's my usual post with how I spent the first day of the month.


February 1 was my day off and because I knew I could sleep late, I was up until 2am.  I was finishing another photo book; one of our families year.  I find when working on these things it's best to just keep working, and late at night when there are no interruptions is the best time to get a lot done.  I finished it at 2 and then went to bed.

I got up at 9 and started some laundry.


After that I cleaned the bathrooms.




Bob was out in his woodshop and I went out to see what he was up too.  Here's how the backyard is looking. The temps have been over freezing for the last week and our snow is nearly gone.




The hydrangea blooms from last summer are hanging on.




Here's Bob in his shop.  He's working on a new bench to put in the flower gardens this Spring.






I needed to run some errands and made my way to Costco.  That's never a quick stop. (never cheap either!)



I made a quick stop at the local grocery store for some things I couldn't get at Costco.




When I got home, I tried a tip I'd seen on taking meat off a rotisserie chicken. You were supposed to put it in a zip lock bag, roll it around and easily pick the meat off the bones.  It didn't work...  I did it the old way.



This is my pantry and it was looking quite a mess and it was hard to tell what I had in there.
I sorted it all out, rearranged everything and put it back.



Lots better!  I updated my inventory sheet on the door too.




Then I worked on my Bible study, a new one I'm just starting... and then made supper.




We had One Pan Sausage and Veggies for supper; quick, easy and always tasty!



After cleaning up supper, I lit some candles and we relaxed for the evening. I went to bed around 10, staying up so late the night before caught up with me!
Yes, it was another good day!

Ukulele Concert

Last week I got to go to a ukulele concert!  Alaina is in 6th grade and is taking a creative music class. 



Here she is with her friend Quinn before things started.




She had to get up and talk a little about what they were doing.




Here's the whole group playing.  It's a small group.  They sounded good and I think it's such a fun thing to learn to play.




They are also learning to write music.  Here, Alaina was playing one of her songs on her computer.




One more picture of Alaina with her ukulele.  It was a fun night!
