Here is June's Project Life Page
June 2024
Our first full month of home ownership/rental property management was full of projects. On the
first, we moved Dad into the camper at the Damiansville house for a bit of piece and quiet. I worked
on a sun catcher project with chicken wire and beads. On Sunday, I planted hydrangeas and strawberry
plants. Chad and I watched Miller’s game on Monday, 6/3. On Wednesday, 6/5- I spent my day off
working on some garden boxes. Ember found the squirrels outside and wanted to chase them.
On Thursday, 6/6, Chad moved the shed. The weekend (6/8 and 6/9) was spent cutting down a lot of
limbs and some trees around the property. I got my new garden boxes into place and planted seeds in
them on 6/10. On Wednesday, 6/12, I took Ember to get her nails trimmed, did a makeover to the
bathroom sink, and then had lunch with Grandma Blumenstein. Later, Chad worked on the shed that
he moved, making it more sturdy. On Friday, I made a bird bath out of a bowl and a vase that I got from
Good Will. It adds such a pretty pop of color to the yard. On 6/15, we went to Coles Creek where Kory
was camping for a “family reunion”. It’s the first time our whole family has been together in about
3 years (minus Mom). This was such a fantastic event. I am so happy. It was nice to see the kids all
together again. On Sunday, we went to Grandma Olliges’ for lunch, stopped by Grandma Blumenstein’s
to visit, and then to Chad’s parents for dinner. On Monday, 6/17, we watched Kenadee play ball.
She is pretty good. On Wednesday, 6/19, I got to watch Markus for a few hours while Angie went
to a Boy Scout thing. We did so much, including look at my scrapbooks to show him pictures of him
in them. He loved the page I did of him and his favorite toy- the stuffed duck. Later, I took him
to his ball game that was in Albers. On Saturday, 6/22, we had the 2nd annual Schwierjohn family
reunion. On Sunday, Chad and I got the supplies we needed to fix some drainage issues on the
properties. We went to Miller’s game on 6/24 and then saw the Strawberry Moon later that night.
I harvested some green tomatoes on 6/25 and made some green tomato relish on 6/26. I also
harvested the first zucchini of the year on 6/26. The garden is coming along really well! I love all
of the sunflowers growing around it. I harvested my first blackberries on 6/27, and then a bunch
of carrots on 6/28. I ended up canning the carrots. We had a busy weekend at the end of the month.
Dad came over Saturday, 6/29 to help. Chad rented the mini escavator for the weekend. We
moved the huge brush pile to Dad’s place to burn, and started work on the drainage project.
It was so hot! On Sunday, it was so much cooler that we needed a jacket in the morning. Gary
and Mary came over to help, and so did Dad. We worked all day and got the drainage pipe
buried, and a tree stump removed, and the yard fixed up. We had pizza for lunch and I made
some zucchini bread for the hard workers. It was such a beautiful day and we got so much work
done. I even got to use a mini jack hammer. Now, we just wait for the rains to see if it
stoops the floods through our yard and carport. Chad did a great job planning it all out.
