Just a few wild strawberries to make me imagine being a borrower.

Nah. Just ordinary people show up with their stuff and try to catch a few expenses.

Yeah they have some kind of regular planned sale at a few of the local Tractor Supplies. I forgot exactly what they call them. DH used to bring whatever barnyard hatches we had and sell everything. This is the famous Trouble. Getting old. She gave us a scare a few days ago.

DH and his imaginary friend have a new plan. They figured they have 5 pregnant potbelly pigs. So they thinking 10 piglets each, sell 40 at Tractor Supply when they 6 weeks old and so cute and we eat 10. I don’t know about this one. I told them if it doesn’t work we having a few slaughter days...

Here is a picture of DH’s Goat N Stratton, controlling the weeds around the garden.

I knew it was time to go in the kitchen. DH was complaining about how SIL had redesigned his mother’s kitchen and was losing all his stuff. I stepped in and he went out to ‘spread the love.’ That’s what we call feeding the livestock. Honestly he is a great chef but he needs an assistant to work...

I don’t mind nursing as long as I am working with people who have my back and allow my accommodations but yeah I am up for an easier job with benefits and because of farming and prepping and a lifetime of frugality I suppose I can be part-time. And really a big part of my decision to go back to...

It is most important that a nurse knows how to properly administer medicine to her patients. It is also very important that she knows how to help her employer pass the state audit when the time comes. For years I did both at the same time but it did damage my feet. I still know how to read...

I pushed the ADON for another shift of training on a different shift and I went in with a by the book nurse. I realize that if we are under state inspection this is the way to go and yes I know how to do it correctly but my body can’t handle that anymore. I came home in a really bad way and once...

I have only used it for coughs in two ways. The first time was as a smoke additive. I mixed mullein, rose pedals and catnip with tobacco to decrease the amount of tobacco a smoker use and the next time use less and less tobacco until I was only using herbs or just make a cigarette with pure...

Sometimes our critters get corn but mostly I think they come around to escape the 4 wheelers and hunters from other properties. I guess that’s a blessing for me. Kinda like money in the bank.

Loquat or Japanese Plum.

I started a job as a nurse 2 nights ago but my back was really stiff. I wore a scrub dress I had only just finished. I was able to do a lot of the computer work. I accidentally left my cheat sheet at the desk. Hopefully someone puts it with my big envelope that’s now waiting for me with my badge...

I am afraid few are making it into the house because we eat the ripe ones as an outdoor snack when we are doing chores. My plan….start the seeds.

DH successfully bred two does yesterday. He claimed he told them if they didn’t play nice with this buck that he was planning on barbecuing tomorrow (today) and he would get them to help him then and it worked. He got his eyes examined and he told me his glasses will cost over $600. We went to...

My family has in-laws that reside in France and it’s starting to get real over there. Fortunately they are rather wealthy but they have begun to use an extra apartment they have as their store room and have been putting food and supplies in there. My sister was breaking down the dollars per euro...

Well most of my life I have been fine with storms but I guess Ida affected me because during the storm I was just praying and DD and DH were asking me if I was okay. I just told them it was good to pray. Just last night DD question me about how to make a storm shelter. I told her I guess we’d...

The past couple of days have been hard on me because of a new pain in my right shoulder. I have done just about everything available to me, medically, with heat and I lastly took some pot gummies that I now regret telling DS about because apparently I have disappointed him and I didn’t even...

I use both long and short term investments. I haven’t exactly been thinking much about individual investments lately so I just been investing in mutual funds

I guess I am getting old. I don’t know what I did to my right shoulder but it has been hurting since yesterday afternoon. I have a Lidoderm patch on and I have no intention of removing it. Took aspirin and muscle relaxer and still hurting. I guess I can predict the weather because it’s about to...
