    Are we living our dream?

    Well I have a torn rotator cuff. I found out yesterday and today I called back to get referred for treatment options. I had a few really hard nights at work, followed by easy nights. Kinda like a seesaw. I don’t need this.

    No question is a dumb question

    Momma insisted geese would eat her oranges off the trees. I will have to figure something out. Maybe I can make a bunch of chicken tractors and rabbit tractors.

    Are we living our dream?

    One shift down. 3 to go 😫. I try to wake up slow with coffee and gather my thoughts but DH is here and I need to collect his thoughts too. Omg… he pulled out his art pad. When he is chill and is thinking about paddling his pirouge…no problem. I will see alligators and raccoons and maybe a nice...

    Are we living our dream?

    Lunch. One single ribeye with a few cups of green and purple cabbage, mushrooms, celery and a Bell Pepper. Seasoned with little Dale’s, some Creole seasoning and garlic powder. I am steaming rice for DD15 at her request but I ate my serving just like that. It’s really good 😊.

    DH has been working on this oversized tractor to house whatever animals he wants. I really don’t know how we will relocate it later to the orchard though.

    Are we living our dream?

    I have lost track of time. I am probably 2 weeks without starches. Really slow progress. DD15 is here with her dog 🥰, who just survived a probable poison. I told her the dog would be safer here with us. Got her to drive Trouble and I in the cane fields for a doggie run last night. We have a...

    Help me identify this plant

    I will ask if I can dig some up and see what the root looks like. I know the old man farmed there. If I am correct I will dig up a lot…cook some and plant some. Apparently it’s very healthy and won’t do the damage of potatoes. My godchild’s husband claims people use it as baby food in Cuba.

    Help me identify this plant

    My sister cooked a dish once that I ate which her deceased FIL had grown. I really think this is it.

    Heatwave 2022

    It’s so hot that the trellis DH planted our merlitons on has some yellow leaves and it’s making me nervous because he suspects the neighbors of going too wild with their RoundUp. I seriously got to move him and me to the orchard. We don’t belong with a bunch of people. I mean maybe it’s just HOT!!

    Heatwave 2022

    Yeah….my current home was a very old house my in-laws bought over 65 years ago that already had a history. People have been born and died in the house. But it’s a shotgun style house, popular in southeast Louisiana. It looks like it’s an ideal type house for the area. Lots of them are just...

    Heatwave 2022

    So I live in the Deep South. It’s currently 91F outside and rising. Expected to get up to 97 and that’s not even the hottest it’s been lately. Fortunately we are in a small house so less place to cool. Looking for ideas and inspiration from others on cheap or free ways to beat the heat. So...

    What's for dinner?

    My sister has a lot of Cuban connections and she now makes a rice dish with black beans. It’s similar to jambalaya us Cajuns make. Just wondering how you served it.

    Trees, Lumber, Forest Management for Diversity and Lumber, etc.

    My brother mills wood but he moved away from the home estate. He is still in Louisiana though. I am the one that ended up with the woods and orchard and I have bought property bordering what I have and want more. Right now we have a massive cleanup to do because y’all can’t imagine what...

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Shortly after Hurricane Juan in 1985, I married my ex. After the waters finally went down I wanted a small orchard and I didn’t listen to advice. I planted apple trees and cherry trees. I also planted a few trees that actually love the Deep South. So call it 1986 when we planted all this stuff...

    Are we living our dream?

    I actually didn’t want to reply. Something is wrong with my account and I can’t update my journal as normal. Well my tricycle has air in the tires. I don’t know if the gears are okay but I hope I can ride it late this afternoon. It is currently 94 degrees F. The basket isn’t on. At this point I...

    Are we living our dream?

    I can only trust Snoopy outside alone for a while. I am off today and tomorrow. That’s 4 straight days. Feels like a vacation.

    Are we living our dream?

    Good morning (6:51PM). Nightshift life 🤷‍♀️ I just got a package with several herbs necessary to put the Hoxsey cancer treatment. I want to treat a 12 year old boxer that is full of breast tumors. She has been living with my oldest since right after the storm. The vet told her she has already...

    I won’t remove the melon; just pull the grass around it. I also have a pumpkin that took over the front porch.
