It has been a long week. Levi ran a temperature last night so I stayed home from church today with the two littlest. I enjoyed the slower pace.
Mariah picked up a piece of furniture from a dump about a year ago and sold it for $50. It sort of inspired her to keep trying to make money from others' junk. We recently had a house (can you say hoarders?) foreclose near us. It was in such bad shape that they literally left the house wide open. So.... she had her brother (he's such a good sport!) go with her to pick up some pieces of furniture. She spray painted a wooden chair and cleaned up this chest and a couple of nightstands. She sold ever bit of it within two days! Nothing but a little cleaning and a $3 can of spray paint!
Madeline came home from church today and started juicing scuppernongs. Our vines are always very productive!
She makes big messes..... but she sure does do a lot of "extras' that I don't have time to do! She canned fig preserves, scuppernong jelly and made a pecan pie! She even made a from scratch pie crust out of einkorn.
Kind of cool.... the scuppernongs, figs and pecans were all grown on our property!
I love my "big kids". I try to cherish the time with them knowing it won't last forever. <3 p="">
Some of her work.....
My little sales girl......
Madeline grew a patch of zinnias this year. We have enjoyed beautiful vases of flowers all summer!
~Until next time....
