One Hundred Dollars a Month

I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Quote of the Day “Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.” ~Denis Waitley

So apparently we have a turtle. He wandered into the yard last night. I named him Terrance because Titania just didn’t seem right. Lucy let Terrance know she was the boss of the backyard, in her own special way and they are becoming fast friends. It’s like a mini zoo around here. We have a dog, chickens, wild turkeys, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, blue-jays, cardinals, owls, rats, moles, creepy 4 legged critters, black flies, dragon flies, wasps, bumblebees, ticks and I wouldn’t be surprised if a peacock or a bear showed up soon.

What can I say? It’s a thrill a minute around here. Oh, and it’s supposed to be like 90 degrees today and we have no a/c. Monday. Let’s do this!

Hello Thursday!

Okay, so apparently according to your comments…. Horse manure is out. 😉 Thank you for your tips on Gypsy moths as well. And, I suppose only time will tell if Harriet is a quince or an apple tree but this whole discovering what’s in my backyard thing is still pretty cool if you ask me. Because really, what fun would it be if we knew all the answers, right?

Today, it’s Thursday and it’s going to be AWESOME. 🙂 🙂 🙂
