Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #589

Messy Messy Fail - Do you love scouring FB marketplace for good deals like I do?  The worst is when you don't hear back on a good deal and you lose it!

Tidy Victory - I've scored so many great items throughout the years, not to mention being resourceful in not buying new.

Messy Messy Fail - Please nobody give me books to borrow ANYMORE!  I finished a borrowed book, had it in my car to drop off, a random water bottle was throw in the car, guess where it landed.

Tidy Victory - Amazon to the rescue - new copy on the way to the lovely soul who lent it to me for over a year!

Messy Messy Fail - I've got three random apple trees that were randomly plopped too close together in the back yard by the white barn.

Tidy Victory - Fall is the time to dig them up and replant them - let's see if I can do it!

Messy Messy Fail - This isn't my fail - I blame mother nature - but the summer has been SO HOT and SO DRY.  My pumpkin patch is not happy with me at all.

Happiness is Homemade Link Party #585

Messy Messy Fail - How many times have I convinced myself that I would remember everything I needed to get at the store my simply repeating the listen out loud to myself multiple times?  Well, I still forget the strawberries.

Tidy Victory - I found a recipe for pickled strawberries and it's REALLY good.  I'll get more on Friday when I'm in town again to get groceries.

Messy Messy Fail - I haven't worked out in months, ahem, years.  Or wait, I think I did a few times last summer......

Tidy Victory - I found the lazy girl's workout that I decided - atomic habits - I'm going to start doing every night after the kids get situated for bed.  Let's see how it goes!
