Lovin' The Homestead
Hey SS folks, hows it going?
First an update on the tornado. 8 people were killed. One was my buddies childhood friend. He opened his door to look out and was sucked away. His body was found several hundred yards away. To make it even worse, some bunch of crazies from Kansas came down here, protesting at the funerals. Thier stance is because an Oklahoma City preacher came out as gay, then God punished us by sending a tornado. The world is definitly a nutty place.
On the SS front, not a lot going on. Mostly just waiting for the danger of frost to pass. We have 10 each broccoli, cabbage, collards, and lettuce doing well under a light. The starts are about 5 inches tall. Chicks are doing well also. Also, found my first great deal on Craigs list. Got a great compound bow, arrows, broadheads, quiver, and hard carrying case...all for $50!!!
We had some lay offs at my job, which is a first for the 20 year old company. They let 3 guys go from the building department, and combined me, my partner, and one other guy into one team for all projects. So, while sad for the other fellows, I am very happy to still be working. Now, when asked how I'm doing, I reply "employed" and smile real big.
So, as soon as frost danger passes, we will be putting out our starts. I salvaged a BUNCH of various sized plastic planters(probably a hundred or so). They were in a friends dump! I plan to try most veggies in pots, so we can move them about as needed. Also thinking about adding to our flock(Japanese bantams).
Hope ya'll are doing well. Have a great day tomorrow!
