    Grass Fed Beef

    Thanks. That's sound advise about starting off with a sample. Maybe I can get someone to split a 1/4 with me? I called and talked to the man that is selling. He seemed very nice and eager to answer my questions. He said he's having trouble establishing a market in this area because he can't...

    What did you learn today?!?

    I learned that 1 Cup of used coffee grounds + 1 Cup of Corn Meal + 1/2 Cup salt = a really neat sand like clay. I love finding uses for odd things. Now what to do with this drier lint? :lol:

    Gardening with Infants?

    My little one is 9 months so I was wondering about this myself. I was thinking of taking her on a trip to grandmas a couple of times a week. But I love the fence idea and the clothesline leash too. I'm a historical re-enactor. And I know of one couple that would tie a rope around their sons...

    Good luck and keep us posted. I remember going through the same thing and the waiting was excruciating. I did the same thing with the pregnancy test stockpiling. Try to keep your mind busy with other things if possible.
