    My DH actually asked me the other night: I know you like doing all this work, but do you think we will ever use it? :he

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    The wind blew one of our apple trees over - its was a long twig three years ago when we bought it from Stark. Now its about 5' tall and the vineyard stretchy tape broke, which was anchoring it to a flimsy stake. Luckily it didn't break so we propped it up and used a t-post and more of the...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    @Mini Horses There is NO Federal mandate to print expired/use by/best by on ANY food product. Its a sham. ONLY infant formula requires a hard stop date.

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I've been in the kitchen for three straight days. I purchased a steam juicer and a Ball electric water bath unit. Since I've been getting sooooo much free fruit and veggies, I've been dehydrating and juicing. So far, I've got 9 quarts of mango juice and 3 quarts of apple juice. I still have...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I've not been in my garden for 5 or 6 days, relying on DH to maintain it. Well, lets just say I came into the house with 7 zucchini, almost stuffing size!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've read that the area is very hilly. So all that rain runs off the hills and ends up in the Guadalupe River. There are vids of it "coming" along a stretch.

    Food prices June 2021

    That's a private label product. So we cannot compare to equivalent jars in mass merch grocery stores.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I got tears in my eyes at the second vid. Mother and Father, Aunt and Uncle and her sis missing. And she was swept about 22 miles down the river and SURVIVED!! Yes, a Miracle.

    🔋 Can You Make It Through a Week Off-Grid? 🌿

    I bought a large dual fuel generator last year. The plan is to hook it up on our exterior propane tank. Its a 50 gal one. With that I can keep two freezers and pare down to one frig, to keep them running. Sadly, hubs refuses to start up the generator, put a load on it, and make sure its...
