I got my bountiful basket and have so many veggies it is a race to try to use everything up. This time we added on a box of tomatoes. Do you know what that means? It means I had to learn how to can tomatoes...or rather salsa since I didn't think I would want a lot of plain canned tomatoes. So...

I was at this point about three months ago. I mean, I really am not a "sit down and cry about it" kind of person but I got to that point of not feeling like I had any control over my life. I had stretched the dollar until it ripped in two. And yes there were people who were willing to help me...

Exciting stuff this! I will enjoy living your journey vicariously.

Glad to hear you are nice and toasty.

I just wanted to send you a hug. I love to see people be so resourceful. I know that doesn't help your situation but what you are doing should make you proud of yourself. I am financially in a similar boat. It is hard to smile while gritting your teeth but I am learning. Sounds like you are...

Getting some work done on my car. I don't have any money. I guess that means I am using my credit card. I try really hard not to buy things I don't have money for. But I guess that is why I have a credit card... For emergencies. On a good note, the local guy who does our car work is really good...

Sending a birthday hug to you both. Enjoy the Brazilian steakhouse. Sorry about the other stuff. Try not to let it put a shadow on your day.

Glad to hear you are rounding the bend on this sinus thing. I don't do meds either. Not that I wouldn't ever take meds. But my idea of needing them and others' just doesn't match up.

As you all know, my flock has Marek's. Not many of them left. I am down to 14 females and a young roo-ling. Some of the adults simply never laid. I had begun to think they never would. But one new hen has started laying. So it gives me hope. Of all my marans, I ended up with three hens. One...

No, come summer, no one will be envying me my weather. I have been picking up my bountiful basket...just curious if any of you do the same? The prices seem good for the amount of produce I get. I ordered an extra box of tomatoes. This means I may have to learn to can them. Wish me luck!

Now I am off to google pix of duck eggs. I'm intrigued.

I'm drooling thinking of all that chicken stock and its endless possibilities.

I feel like I don't have a ton of amazing new strides I am making in self-sufficiency but I am really proud that the steps we took at first, we are still continuing with. Today I would like to write about "abono" aka chicken poo. We have so little space to plant and after trying a few different...

One nice thing my company does is the wellness program. I had my blood drawn the other day. They checked my cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose etc. Amazingly (at my weight) I am in great shape. Crazily, my spouse appears to have diabetic level fasting blood sugar. My spouse who is only ten...

Dinner sounds delish and the alterations sound like an excellent way to keep putting such nice things on the table.

I got to take my students to a Native event. After lunch they had bird singers and dancers. It was lovely.

I'd guess his weather is right about 69 degrees right about now. With a little bit of wind today.

Beauteous!

I'm odd too. In case anyone hadn't already noticed. But like I like to say: Odd in a good way.

Conventional education has it's place in life but it often gets in the way of learning. I love seeing little children before they have started the school process. They are so open to learning. I was shocked when I studied education to find out that education's purpose was to make people ready as...
