Hi, all….I just LOVE reading your posts!!! I’ve been busy, busy, busy continuing my prepping efforts which for right now are focused on learning how to garden. Steep learning curve, but exciting as the seeds I started indoors last month have turned into plants which I put into 3″ pots and have now transferred into the raised garden beds outside….and they LIVE!!! Well, most of them. And, I have so many extras I’m now giving them away.
My first experience with pest on plants…don’t want to go the chemical route if I can manage naturally. Granddaughter #6 came today and we mixed up some soap, water, oil and sprayed plants. Hoping that will take care of current issue. But, as I read about gardening, dealing with pests of all sorts will be an ongoing task. Whatever, so far it is something new and different for me and that is good!
Handyman neighbor is helping me get my deck ready for Spring/Summer activities. Fresh water sealer applied and some additional deck furniture. Saw a red Cardinal today and that was cool.
Scratched my leg on rusty fencing gave me an opportunity to dig into my medical emergency supply. Found some serious antibiotic cream that I slathered on scratches and looks like going to be okay. My first thought was “do I need to go and get a booster shot for ?” but decided to wait and today looks just fine.
Nearing top of my to do list is to stock in some more flour. Maybe floods this Spring won’t affect availability but I’m just not so sure. I’d rather have a bit more than run short as I love to bake bread. Who doesn’t love a loaf of homemade bread ?; and I find that is something I can give away while suggesting others might want to learn how to bake their own bread. It was a sweet Mennonite lady many years ago who brought me a loaf of bread on my birthday that got me interested in bread baking and I am so grateful to her.
Been a long day so will say nite all…be blessed, and keep posting…love to know what’s up with your lives…wondering what has happened to Molly and her closet…
