Frugal Endeavors

Golden Rod in the park

August 10 to August 17 2017

Work, work, work that was the theme this week. I was too busy to spend much money but not too busy to earn a few frugal brownie points.

Oregon Grape berries

August 4 to August 10, 2017

This was a less productive week compared to last week. The heat and crowds of tourists took up too much of my energy and motivation. Still, I did manage to complete a few tasks that will save us money in the months to come.

Yep – more berries. These ones are josta berries.

July 28, to August 3, 2017

Despite the heat wave hitting our area and the influx of tourists, I got a lot done this week.

Huckleberry jam. No frogs added.

July 20 – July 27, 2017

Mark Twain said that if “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” This week got off to a painful start but it got better from there.

Saskatoons!

July 13 – July 20, 2017

This week was a week of ups and downs.

Garbage Garden – Week 16

Garbage Garden 2017

Here is a status report for the tiny little garden I started at work from food scraps. I tried to regrow romaine lettuce from the cut ends of romaine, celery from the cut ends of celery bunches, green onions from the white end that is usually thrown away, red onions from the tiny starts inside of decaying onions, and tomatoes from rotting tomatoes.

Daisies

July 5 to July 11, 2017

Once again, my thoughts and best wishes are with the people in my province displaced by forest fires.
