Hi, all!!! So happy to be back and determined to stay with the prep everyday program this month.Sometimes things can get a bit more complicated than I like so I have to simply pace myself. As I’ve always been a Type A personality that’s a hard thing for me to do. But, I’m learning. 🙂
Though it’s bitter cold outside (at least for my neck of the woods – currently 24 degrees F) the sun has at last made a comeback! Supposedly we’re going to get at least three sunny days in a row. We’ve just had so much rain everything is flooded and soggy. However, tornadoes remain our biggest threat for the next few months. I was so sad to read of the destruction in Alabama and Georgia this weekend. Last week our state had a weeklong disaster preparedness emphasis attempting to get people to think about the need to prepare. It seems to me the general uneasiness many of us are feeling with the current emphasis on “gun control” and free speech rights under attack, plus so many other social issues…I don’t know…it might get interesting in 2019.
Whatever, at my age I’m not afraid to speak out, write letters, take a stand for what I believe are important issues, and encourage others to do the same. Violence is not called for, but strong, peaceful resistance is absolutely my right. Then, I’m like old Charlton Heston who said “you’ll have to take my gun out of my cold dead hand, for I’ll never give it up.” I’m not going to register it either. 🙂
In the meantime, back at my little homestead, someone mentioned reviewing their previous posts so I plan to do that also just to be reminded of my progress. And, there has definitely been progress. A few highlights have been my joy engaging in indoor gardening all winter. I have thoroughly enjoyed being able to go out and pick fresh spinach greens and onions. I’m also still working with my Food Saver thingy and the dehydrator. Number two son wants to “borrow” the dehydrator but I said No ’cause he’ll like it and won’t bring it back…:) He has the means to get his own so I’m not being too selfish…it’s my new toy and I’m just not ready to give it up!
I have seeds to start indoors this week and handyman is going to be making me some raised beds.
Have we had an update from Molly with the big closet project? I’m wondering about so many others, too. Such a great group of preppers. So many good ideas to glean from ya’ll. Thanks for posting.
