I was fresh off a successful camping trip and my batteries were fully recharged. Admittedly, it was hard to pack up and come home this time, but I had to work all day on Friday and again on Saturday morning when I took a group to Potato Days being held in the next town over. I had never gone before and we had a fun time. The rest of Saturday and all day Sunday were mine and with such wonderful weather I started pulling the leggy spent flowers out of my pots and dumped the spent potting soil into the raised garden beds.
Sunday morning I woke up feeling a touch worn out. Looking at my dayplanner I realized that I had something going every single day the previous week so it was no wonder. I took the day to just relax with the only big task on my list being laundry and putting fresh sheets on my bed. Then it was back to work Monday and Tuesday afternoons. To maximize my time and fuel use in the car I ran errands on the way home in order to completely free up my Wednesday which is my typical errand and shopping day each week.
With errands taken care of I got busy Wednesday morning by baking a batch of pecan cranberry pumpkin muffins, tucking most of them away in the freezer and leaving out a half dozen for this week. They are delicious and something I always look forward to in the Fall. I also did a little bit of meal prepping.
Pet supplies 
Camping equipment
Next up was to finish organizing and putting away all of my camping equipment on its shelf in the garage and it all fits perfectly and looks amazing too. I’m rather proud of that shelf. While I was out there I also pulled out all of the pet food bins and swept out the cobwebs and leaves that had may their way back there. Before putting the bins back into place I refilled them with some of the feed and cat food I had purchased last month and then took inventory to see what I need to buy next. It looks like cracked corn for the chickens and wood pellets for the bunny’s litter pan is now on the list.
Camping mode 
Back to zero
Thursday found me outside cleaning up the inside of my car as I have decided that camping season is over for me. It is getting darker earlier and colder temperatures overnight. Plus with hunting season starting up I don’t really need to be out in the woods this time of year. I removed my bed from the back of the car and gave the Subaru a good scrub and vacuum.
Ready for everyday life
Another fabulous week of retirement is officially in the books! I hope you all enjoyed a blessed and productive week. I expect next week to be another busy one for me as I already have some things planned and in the works. Let me know in the comments, what has been keeping you busy lately?
