One Hundred Dollars a Month – Mavis’ Weekly Highlights 4/27/19

Hello Saturday!

I’m not sure if the person who invented the snooze button was a genius or…. I don’t know. Maybe shouldn’t have invented it in the first place. But here I am. Better than then never, right? 😉

On the agenda for today:

• Work in garden
• Make beans and rice for dinner {Yay! the pork is gone}
• Dream up ideas for sun room {now called the morning room because the HH watched a British program and thinks morning room sounds better than sun room}.
• Move seedlings out to greenhouse
• Dye wool
• Go to bed early.

How about you? Do you have anything exciting planned for today?

Have a great weekend everyone,

♥ Mavis & Lucy
