I have brought Sis to the Dollar Tree at least 3 times in one week now. She wanted to go yesterday and I really didn’t need to but she swore the asparagus and mushrooms in the glass jars were the best she ever ate and so I told DH I really didn’t need anything but I could always grab a few of...

It’s hairy. Also DH says it gets some little red flowers but I know where he found it and I will keep my eyes open. Plant identification is something I would want to improve upon actually. My studies didn’t pay as close attention to this as I would have liked.

Me first. DH threw this at me. It looks very similar to parsley but the smell is off. What do y’all think it is?

I know one thing for sure…. I won’t be running out of toilet paper this year. It took a while to run out of dog food but we finally did need to buy more. If I go to work on the bridge I think I will get a tiny crockpot to bring food to cook there. Gotta get it first.

Since the hurricane I have been trying to cook bean soup with pasta at least once a week. I can’t believe how much canned beans and pasta I now have stock piled. I should probably think of something to do with the peanut butter. I have a feeling I will be eating it past the expiration date. I...

I am also seriously considering getting heavy into sewing. I think I can clear out one small bedroom in the house and turn it into a sewing room and I just interviewed for a really cushy job that I can do just about anything so figured I can get some cutting in and maybe hand stitches. I had...

Now I have to see where I am gonna store everything. I am totally gonna stock all my bins up with grain for the animals because I can figure how to survive as long as I can keep them alive. Eggs, meat, milk from them and fruit and vegetables from the garden and orchard. I will totally milk a few...

My house had a whole house generator that took care of the house, trailer and barn. I still have the generator but not the house and barn. After Ida we used small, gasoline generators which powered up DH’s trailer and later his family house….much smaller than my house. All we needed to do is...

So after church DSis and I are heading to the Dollar Tree to get all their shelf milk in cartons for hurricane season and/or possible shutdown. $1.25 a quart it’s not much more expensive than buying it from the cooler in gallon jugs and requires no refrigeration. Milk was a luxury after Ida.

I know…I am just a ray of sunshine. Well yesterday, after I got up and moving I had to track DH down in the bayou because he had forgotten his meds but I left the house with a bag of nightgowns my niece said she wanted. I figured less is more and because I was gonna be in the neighborhood I...

I have a little bit of magic in my hands and fingers and then some of my remedies really relax people. I make a pain lotion and put certain essential oil’s in it and benzocaine because the prescription alternatives are far too expensive and I apply that after a little chiropractic type...

Time to get started again. I have so many extra skeins.

I don’t recall who I am supposed to give credit to this idea for but I read or heard to put the original breeders in spray painted green or orange and then later when white or brown/grey…whatever bunnies emerge and you want to identify them as being of another age, block off nests when you are...

Thanks Tortoise for the inspiration. I believe in setting up a Coop Knox for poultry so possibly Warren Knox too. Here is the idea you helped conceive in me…Warren set up , followed by various Coop Knox projects all around Warren Knox so before rats get to rabbits they have to make it past...

Well in both of our cases I think deep under would be great but for different reasons. I just have to make sure I create something high up in case of flooding. If you too close to the surface and you have a hard freeze it would harm your colony. But if you can also have it covered with a sorta...

I want lots of okra and green beans. Maybe some cantaloupe for a healthy dessert.

Okay I am not the one really should be responding but if you didn’t set it up yet, can I maybe suggest you research colony raising your herd? I live in a very warm climate and I have a fan aimed at our cages. Still I would love to set up a colony instead of the cages. I think if I can use the...

In that case maybe I can have my previous identity combined with my current one 😂

A couple of days ago DH put 2 rabbits on the pit with green onion sausage and hotdogs. Well the sausage was too spicy for me but I suffered through a link. Last night DH’s honorary niece showed up with the leftovers from a seafood boil of crabs and crawfish so I quickly peeled as many crabs as I...

It is not legal in my area but I have seen it work on a few people really fast but it kinda makes them a bit stupid. Still it looks like the most problems it causes are from random drug screens. It’s not like the pot smokers are causing the trouble the crack houses cause. Or meth….whatever that...
