Got done in one hour and it took ten minutes to sweep up mini apples from the storms during the week. So I was done before noon, which was great. Sunday I made egg salad for lunch and made Easter dinner in the mid afternoon. Then I finished up the laundry and took care of some papers. Today I'll be working to organize things in the kitchen because we have way too much stuff on our limited counter space. So I have a plan and will see how that goes today.

That never happens so that was nice. I made progress cleaning out my shed on Friday. That's pretty much all my excitement for the weekend. I do have dyed eggs in the fridge-that's a fun tradition that we still do even though the kid is older now. We'll do deviled eggs, egg salad, maybe potato salad, and he'll eat just the boiled eggs.another layerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15756727485274694135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-59600785370633447152020-04-13T10:06:31.354-04:002020-04-13T10:06:31.354-04:00We didn't do anything special for Easter. We ...We didn't do anything special for Easter. We got some yard work done, but still have lots more to do. The strong winds this winter did a number on our trees. Lots of broken branches to pick up and lots of pine needles to rake up. We went for some long walks around the neighbourhood with our neighbour's dog. She has some health issues so can't take him far, so we do it for her and it gives us the benefits of having a dog without all of the commitment.<br /><br />Food wise I tried making a roast in the Instant Pot yesterday. I think it worked out well, but would shorten the time at high pressure by a minute or two. There didn't seem to be a consensus online as to how long it should be at pressure or how to vent, so I went with 15 minutes with a natural release and the keep warm function on for 30 minutes. That gave me a roast that was medium-well. Due to social distancing measures we have been getting a lot more creative in the kitchen based on food availability when we do our weekly grocery shop at one store only.Browrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661145494625869227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-75992282959522773562020-04-13T07:40:44.251-04:002020-04-13T07:40:44.251-04:00You plate looks great!

I sharpened my lawnmower blade, so I learned something new. Just Mom and I for Easter so our usual ham,taters and corn. Went grocery shopping, loving the limiting of people inside at a time and the one way aisles. I hope they keep the one way after this. Still trying to use this pause for growth.<br />Enjoy your week!<br />Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818785860858381950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-4400393334488471442020-04-13T07:40:08.799-04:002020-04-13T07:40:08.799-04:00I appreciate everything you did to make our Easter...I appreciate everything you did to make our Easter still have all our traditional Easter foods and such.
