Ugh. That's all I have to say haha. It has been wet the past few days which means minimal work in the garden and around the property! Also, our standardized testing took WAY longer than I wanted to spend on it, but I learned a few valuable insights to how my children learn! It was our first go at standardized testing here at home, as we are new to homeschooling.
Here is some of what I PLANNED to accomplish this past week:
IN THE GARDEN
[ ] Re-treat garden with neem oil and Bt (RAINED OUT)
[ ] Pull weeds for 30 minutes PER DAY no excuses! (So much for no excuses đ)
[ ] Fertilize with fish emulsion & Epsom salt (RAINED OUT)
âď¸ Make pickled jalapenos with the excess 'peno harvest
âď¸ Pull up remaining crookneck squash, lost to powdery mildew
[ ] Treat winter squash with milk solution (RAINED OUT, winter squash is a goner đĽ)
âď¸ Start planning fall garden and order seeds if needed
HOMESCHOOL
âď¸ Finish standardized testing by 6/28 and mail
[ ] Type up end of year progress reports and file
âď¸ Prep for summer schedule - aim to start first week of July!
âď¸ Library visit
âď¸ Summer reading program progress
HOMESTEAD
âď¸ Make another batch of laundry soap
âď¸ Air-dry clothes all week
[ ] Harvest wild black cherries (I haven't been able to figure out how to reach the darn things)
[ ] Check all batteries
LEARNING & GROWING
[ ] try DIY mayonnaise with fresh eggs (and write a blog post, naturally)
[ ] try out a new bread recipe
âď¸ learn more formatting tricks in Markdown
[ ] 3 blog posts on website (GOT TWO DONE. Rain means spotty internet)
âď¸ Daily Steem activity for 30 minutes - 1 hour per day
âď¸ Finish reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman
Who's with me? Please UPVOTE and RESTEEM! This evening I'll post my goals for the upcoming week!
