Is this Taro Plant? Also…while we at it maybe give me similar ideas for a permanent survival garden.

It’s so hot that the trellis DH planted our merlitons on has some yellow leaves and it’s making me nervous because he suspects the neighbors of going too wild with their RoundUp. I seriously got to move him and me to the orchard. We don’t belong with a bunch of people. I mean maybe it’s just HOT!!

Yeah….my current home was a very old house my in-laws bought over 65 years ago that already had a history. People have been born and died in the house. But it’s a shotgun style house, popular in southeast Louisiana. It looks like it’s an ideal type house for the area. Lots of them are just...

So I live in the Deep South. It’s currently 91F outside and rising. Expected to get up to 97 and that’s not even the hottest it’s been lately. Fortunately we are in a small house so less place to cool. Looking for ideas and inspiration from others on cheap or free ways to beat the heat. So...

My sister has a lot of Cuban connections and she now makes a rice dish with black beans. It’s similar to jambalaya us Cajuns make. Just wondering how you served it.

My brother mills wood but he moved away from the home estate. He is still in Louisiana though. I am the one that ended up with the woods and orchard and I have bought property bordering what I have and want more. Right now we have a massive cleanup to do because y’all can’t imagine what...

Shortly after Hurricane Juan in 1985, I married my ex. After the waters finally went down I wanted a small orchard and I didn’t listen to advice. I planted apple trees and cherry trees. I also planted a few trees that actually love the Deep South. So call it 1986 when we planted all this stuff...

I actually didn’t want to reply. Something is wrong with my account and I can’t update my journal as normal. Well my tricycle has air in the tires. I don’t know if the gears are okay but I hope I can ride it late this afternoon. It is currently 94 degrees F. The basket isn’t on. At this point I...

I can only trust Snoopy outside alone for a while. I am off today and tomorrow. That’s 4 straight days. Feels like a vacation.

Good morning (6:51PM). Nightshift life 🤷‍♀️ I just got a package with several herbs necessary to put the Hoxsey cancer treatment. I want to treat a 12 year old boxer that is full of breast tumors. She has been living with my oldest since right after the storm. The vet told her she has already...

I won’t remove the melon; just pull the grass around it. I also have a pumpkin that took over the front porch.

I see an accidental melon growing right along the back porch needing to be weeded.

I can’t believe I am off!! And it’s quiet. Drinking coffee. DH headed to the orchard to meet up with a friend on a bush hog. He asked me to meet them with a bucket of chicken later but the line at Popeyes is over an hour wait. It finally opened since Ida and people can’t get enough 🤷‍♀️ It will...

I have two more shifts to do and then I am off, after bringing DH to a cardiology appointment. I imagine by 7:30 PM I will be snoring on the 10th. My tricycle is still upside down 🤷‍♀️ I was really hoping to be riding by now. But I put my money making clothes to wash this morning before I went...

I am at work and I can’t believe I have a little downtime. I agreed to work my off nights to help out. Tonight should have been my first off night so I’m halfway through. I have another 5 nights to go. Yesterday morning I honestly tried to do extra chores. I didn’t just go to bed. I made myself...

Thanks! DH is the one who suggested I take that picture.

It’s more assembled than not. He was last fighting with the brakes. I just ordered a bike umbrella, an ice chest that straps on the handle bars with a phone holder and some ice packs. Maybe I should have ordered maze just in case. DS told me he doesn’t need me to babysit anymore seeing he won’t...

DH is attempting to assemble my tricycle!!

Not just posting less. According to my phone my screen time is down 71%. I guess that’s a good thing. So I am off tonight and tomorrow night. It’s late but I haven’t eaten yet. Waiting for DH to come home from the store and I am praying he didn’t buy the whole thing. He stopped by my farm and...

Good morning to all the other vampires 🧛‍♀️ out there. I just woke up after my first of 4 night shifts. I hear something that sounds like a lawnmower outside. Sometimes I hear DH. I don’t think he realizes I am up. He took his night meds yesterday morning and then his morning meds at night so he...
