Yes, it’s that time again. We are having the bio container picked up today and they are bringing us a new miscellaneous trash container. I have to say I’m rather pleased since we already have a pile of stuff in the barn that we will be targeting along with the bird cages. We’re probably going to keep a few of them for our chicken venture although we might have to modify them since the cage doors are pretty small. We thought about donating them to someone who wants or needs them but I think both of us would just rather have them gone at this point. The stuff in the barn that we’ll be targeting is a pile of junk on top of the wine cellar. There’s several old chicken coop doors and other random constructions that we haven’t figured out what they were used for or what we’d use them for…so they’re out of here. We figure it will probably only take us a few hours as usual to fill up the container and then we can get it out of here before Easter.
Tonight our friend Jenny is dropping by and we’re going to have tacos. Then tomorrow we’ll go shopping because she needs to pick up some new climbing shoes, our birthday present to her. We’re all going climbing in Locarno, Switzerland, over Easter and her current shoes are wildly uncomfortable so she must have them before the trip. That means there won’t be much blogging from us during that time…but there will be plenty to discuss afterwards since hubby will have the week off and Macky will be starting the work on the foundation. Woohoo.
Anyway, I’ve got even more cleaning tasks to do today. Need to vacuum up the Newf fur tumbleweeds and cook refried beans for the tacos tonight (don’t worry, I’m posting the recipe later). Oh, and in case you’re wondering, the lasagna last night turned out awesome. I will probably use a bit more spices next time and hubby suggested less mozzarella and more noodles…but I think I’m going to need deeper lasagna dishes to accomplish that…or we just need to start buying grain from the mill here in town, grinding our own stuff down and making pasta noodles that fit the dish…because the ones now are not even close and all the little filler pieces don’t give much firmness to the dish.
