A new journey into homesteading "pic heavy"

Bare dirt is anathema.... and Nature abhors a vacuum, which is why my house is dusty.

So THAT'S why my house is dusty! Thanks for the explanation, it makes me feel much better about myself.

in other news I made a "stew" from expired and old components today. it ended up being more like a chicken and rice concoction but it was very good none the less.

I started with some chicken stock that expired last year. then a can of chicken that expired two years ago. okra that I dehydrated in 2018, some mixed dehydrated vegetables from 2018, dehydrated onions, chicken boulon, spices etc.

boiled it all in chicken stock for 45 mins and we ate it. that was the best chicken and rice I've ever had. maybe I've been too picky in the past about expiration dates and canned goods

I got a new toy Last weekend. it sweeps up all the grass clippings. they make great mulch. we munched the corn and had enough leftover to mulch around the plants in the orchard
