Summer Projects~

I love summer days.

Long days.

Sun shiny days.

Lots of time outside...

But,

I also love the time to catch up

on projects that I just don't have time

for during the school year.

I have a little 'punch list' 

that I've been plugging away at

here & there.

Awhile back I had come across this post

on freezer organization.

Finally I had an afternoon to start in~

I probably should of done before & after picks,

but I didn't.

Just trust me when I say that my

freezer wasn't too organized,

there were spills,

some foods were out-of-date,

and it had become quite messy

It feels so good to cross this one off!

This is a shot of the deep freeze;
I still need to defrost it, but I was able
to count how much deer & elk meat we have left. 

While I was at it, I took on the pantry, too

I love these glass jars from Azure Standard
to store our beans, flour, grains, & seeds...

I labeled the bins in this section
to help in the organization of the stuff
that ends up everywhere otherwise.
