Goals for the Week

Welcome to A Quiet Country Life!  I'm SO glad you're here!  I'm going to jump right in with goals for the week.  If you stick around, I'll do my best to introduce us and our way of life over the next couple weeks.

These are the things I plan to accomplish this week:

We lost our peach crop this year to a late frost,
but there was a good sale on Palisade peaches.
Meals
Make a dinner menu to use items on hand in a way that is tasty.

Try new recipe for homemade sandwich pockets.

Make peach jam.

Family
Go through hand-me-down clothes given to Daughter and put together back-to-school wardrobe.

Help choose songs for Daughter's piano recital.

Complete final preparations for back-to-(home)school.

Write a love note to Husband.

Homestead
Do more mowing as weather permits.  If it's too wet to mow, trim low branches on trees.

Shear Angora rabbits.

Clean up area behind the barn.

Health
Exercise three times.  (It is a start!)

Drink two quarts of water daily, at least five days.

Get at least seven hours sleep each night.

Household
Alter some clothing as needed.

Make one thing for an upcoming birthday party.

Improve organization of craft/sewing area.

Spirit
Write in prayer journal.

Give something away.

  2. I am so glad you are back!

    My goal is to get everything done and packed to leave for the lake house on Wednesday and then chill out for the rest of the week!
