Spring Cleaning

Last week the weather was great and cleaning out the gardens was the plan for the week.  The cold is back so the work has moved indoors.  I have cleaned and organized two thirds of the house now.  How nice it feels to have everything clean and put away.  I even found time to finish my scrapbook of my Egypt trip from 7 years ago.

My best new project was using the crockpot to cook the Easter ham.  It took around 6 hours for a 10 pound ham.  I put brown sugar, pineapple juice and pineapple tidbits in the crockpot with the ham and sat back and watched.  I did have to remove some of the liquid once in awhile but otherwise we had a wonderful ham that was very transportable.

I also made a new half apron for myself to help lug around garden tools and eggs when needed.
