Today was a clean house and be domestic day. 

Did some more painting on the side of the house and got the chainsaw out and cut up the old siding that was removed (and left in a pile for me to deal with - bah!).

I bought about 20 pounds of Sweet Potatoes at 10 cents a pound!  Score!  I baked them all and froze them.  I may go and get some more.  I have a chest freezer, and everyone here loves sweet potatoes (including the chickens).

Made a big batch of bread - 6 loaves.  Those will go in the freezer too.

Made a batch of FRUNCH for work lunches the next two weeks.  Something new - a bean tortilla stew type creation that ended up tasting pretty good even though I just kept adding things to it as I was cleaning out the fridge..... :-)

Got Sierra a desk at the Goodwill today for $12.95.  It was rather beat up, but I like being able to re-use something like this.  She's happy with it. 

Going to Lost Maples tomorrow for a hike.  It's going to be nice to get on a trail again - it's been several weeks!  I think I need some time in the "wilderness" to improve my gloomy mood lately.  Don't know what's wrong - - just feeling a general sense of melancholy.  I think I need to make some changes inside and out - - something to think about on the trail.

You have been busy! It always makes me feel good to get jobs like that done.

Sweet potatoes! It's always good to grab a bargain like that. It was my nana's favourite vegetable.

Nothing like a good bargain at a Goodwill shop :) It will feel good to do it up :)
I reckon your mood is to do with winter - not enough sunshine. Seasonal Affective Disorder. I suffer form that, too. I think we all do.

Wow.. you get SO much done even when you're in a funky space. I tend to get so unfocused when I feel this way. You'll pull right through.. the hike on top of everything else fun & good! excellent! I LOVE thrift store finds AND sweet potatoes! we may have some snow coming today...

I sometimes do crazy things when I get to feeling this way (I'll email you....) :-)

IF you get snow - take pictures!!
