I think the question is for us, what are we not prepping for. Not being smart. I really like to be prepared no matter what the situation. You know the whole boy scout motto. Yep thats us. So do I think the economy CAN fall. Yep. Not sure if it will but its always a possibility. Can a tornado...

Blossom was having such a great day, so much improvement. Thanksgiving was wonderful and I was much more relaxed than usual. I really enjoyed myself. Night time hit and Blossom went down hill. She is now just as congested as before, eyes all gunky and refused her bottle. I am beside myself right...

I personally have had great luck with camomile, lavender, rosemary, basil, thyme, and feverfew. Feverfew is good for migrains and is a super fast growing plant. camomile comes back every year and is the best for calming teas. I like mine with a bit of the lavender in it personally but thats just...

Desperately trying to stay awake for her last bottle. I am sorta afraid to go check on her each time because I don't want to know she is worse. No she has not gotten worse yet but thats my fear talking. Not sure what to do with another hour and a half other that browse the internet. I have...

I just don't tell mine stuff like this. As far as he knows everything is still so tight we can barely breathe but we are getting oh so close to things getting better. Eventually I have to give him some good news but I am putting that off till I have more saved away for emergencies lol. Sorry...

They should at least find someone willing to use the meat. There are a couple that I know of from a friend. They want their trophy but then they donate the meat to a raptor rehab lady locally. She hates hunting but said she accepts the meat because they are going to hunt no matter what. It just...

Rough, rough day. I am not sure even the stars can ease the ache tonight. I bought my son a replacement heifer( beautiful Blossom) for the bull we had to sell. She is very very sick and momma just does not know if I can pull her through. We did the stool sample and she has e coli and so we...

Ok, well the farm ended up waiting for me to wake up this morning. Apparently I was worn out. My husband let me sleep till 9. Can you believe I sleep that long. Ah well, all the chores waited for me so its on to those I go. I have to run out once to pick up last minute stuff for tomorrow and...

No rest yet but its getting closer. I hope lol. So after lunch I got 2 more loads done which almost has me caught up. I got most of the upstairs done but did not get both bathrooms finished. Ah well, thats what the morning is for right?. I picked up my daughter from her first performances and...

I am so tired. I keep asking my husband if its normal to be this tired ( I worry I am not aging well). His response is " No, but then neither is the amount of work you get done." Nice thing to hear. I hope he is right. Thanksgiving is just a couple days off now. I have one floor of the house...

It took several years of me showing my parents, husband and kids pictures to get people on board with the idea. Goats was going no where till I made an ultimatum. I either got a goat baby or a real baby but one of those was going to show up. They voted on the goat baby. Of course you can't get...

I didn't get the Kindle, I ended up buying just a regular tablet from Walmart when they had a really good online deal. It was $100 and is very nice. Lots of free or cheaper books to be had. Almost everyone we know has a kindle and loves it. I got both my kids a tablet for Christmas too since...

I am working on getting a picture of her now. She is not as fat and happy as I would like but she will be. The people we got her from, we got our Bessie from also. Give her a month and she will be shining with health. She is a little doll though. She already had her first bottle with us and her...

Home medicinals are my next big project. I really want to be able to take care of most of our needs, in the hopes of not having to depend on an unstable health system very often. I know for some stuff i still need a doctor but for the most part they don't offer much for my daily health. Even...

My husband is from Massachusetts and he loves it here. He finally feels at home. Even when opportunity arises he doesn't even consider going back. Its a nice place to live. I liked living in Massachusetts with him but I love it here. Cost of living is pretty dang low too. One day of...

Oh man its an early morning. I sat here for a couple minutes trying to remember how to spell Yep. Someday my daughter will be on stage and this will all be worth it but I swear I am worn out. Ah well pop some vit C and Echinacia to keep the colds at bay and keep on moving. So answer to...

It is a wonderful life. More wonderful when you look at the big picture than the small stuff but that's just life. The small stuff is always a pain. So I am almost done with my over busy time. Not sure how it will all get done, and the kids sorta went on strike today and didn't do anything they...

I have goats and LOVE them. I cannot imagine anything sweeter. We live down the road from a sheep farmer though. They have theirs as a business so not as much attatchment but even they though that goats were easier. The younger said it was discouraging at times because sheep can be a bit...

sSome of you might have chatted with me on other forums like BYC or backyard herds. I use something pretty close to my username here on all the forums. I don't like to hide behind multiple identities because frankly I can't remember that much info. I am a mom to 4 great kids, and 5 goats, and...

I have been listening to Laura Story a ton, especially Grace. I know we are to let go of our worries and hand them over. Wow that is so hard. I can read and meditate on verses that tell me I should and I can but it seems a HUGE leap to do so. Like trying to jump over a mountain. Thank goodness...
