Building a house? Small Things That Get Forgotten:

[MuseRider]

9. You two seem so well adapted

to doing these kinds of things! I am in awe of everything you have done.

Yes, it is different here. I stay because there are still people I care about. You being one of them. I am always so happy when you post because that means you are still here!

After my husbands heart surgery followed by my pneumonia that is still kicking my butt 3 months after I got it we are getting by. Beginning to see a better time ahead.

I think we are going to try a little straw bale gardening, at least this year to see how it works. Neither of us are going to be 100% and with the animals to care for and everything else we are looking for easier solutions to providing our food. Hopefully we will be able to find the time to dig a section and try wicking as well. Worried as heck about the weather. Dust storms already to the South and West of us. I am determined we are going to go out of this world filled with good, home grown, organic food. Just have one quart of tomatoes left and we will be stuck until we harvest again. I think we will be starting much earlier this year and be prepared with lots of plastic to cover the tenders if needs be. We could have harvested before the heat last year if we had been ready!

I wish I knew where everyone had gone. I miss them. I read more than post now and use my ignore feature until my temper calms to keep out of trouble. Still it feels more like being an unwelcome relative at the reunion. I saw a gardening forum with a political section. Boy oh boy, not for me. They eventually took it down.

Stay well and if I don't see you around stay happy and occupied in your good work. Hope your sweet deer is still stopping by now and again. Take care.
