June similarly to May seemed to fly by, but that probably has something to do with the fact that I spent the first week of it in Italy, on vacation. Vacations seem to do that to people.
After the heat of Italy, it was really nice to come back to a cold snap as well as a nice healthy garden. I uploaded my first video to share with you guys just how the garden is going along. It wasn’t the best video around, but I plan to practice a bit for the next one.
I spent a lot of this month talking and thinking about Italy, and I’m sorry if that bored you, but I’m sure we will be getting back to our regularly scheduled programming shortly.
A lot of other stuff has happened recently in my career life that I’m not quite ready to talk about on the blog yet, but know that I’m pretty pleased right now. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
I was able to make a lot of moves toward my goals of settling into this house, and making some lifestyle changes, and it felt really good (more on that here).
Spent on Groceries in June: $229.52
Total for the year: $1,286.40
Cost of Garden Supplies 2016: $221 (just a few last minute plants)
