Just Not that Into It

April 23rd, 2014 at 07:45 am

I don't know what it is, but I sure don't seem to be into my finances this month. I mean, I'm not ignoring them or anything, I'm staying on track for my goals, I'm not overspending (though I am doing a lot of planned spending), but it all seems sort of boring at the moment.

I go through this from time to time and I guess it is normal not to want to always have a pinpoint focus or to track every cent. I pretty much just feel like I'm a well-oiled machine that just keeps on keeping on. I think about making blog posts, but they just feel like they lack a certain spark right now. I guess after eight years blogging (I totally missed my blogoversary on the 9th) there just isn't always that much left to talk about anymore.

I did do one frugal thing this week. I made and canned dandelion jelly. It turned out awesome and tastes like honey.



But you can read about that on the farm blog if you want:

I'm sure I'll get my mojo or whatever back in a while. These things come and go.

Meanwhile, I have cute animal stuff.

    Love seeing the little farm pics!

    I feel that way about finances from time to time as well, I guess that's normal. I figure it's a good thing that there is no financial drama to be thinking about.

    I think you have spring fever. I feel the same way. Don't want to sit down and work, just want to be moving and outside in the sun.

    I am going to pass the jelly idea on to my DD's 4-H canning leader. Smile I wonder if roses would work too??

    LF, you can do it with violets, violas, lavender, and pansies. With roses they recommend the old-fashioned and the wild roses. They are all made with the petals. Proportions of ingredients might be different, though.

    There is a kindle book on amazon for $3 called Poverty Jelly that is about making jellies from ingredients found in nature that I am eyeing, but I have found so many recipe online for free, I'm not sure I want to shell out for it.
