Sunday greetings, everyone!In talking to some of my readers and good friends, I found out that while they liked my blog posts (thanks!) they wanted me to go back to doing something of a regular update about what we do around here. They also liked when I talked about what I thought of things and what I am interested in. I was a little surprised to tell you the truth. I was pretty sure no one really wanted to know…
Disclaimer: I was given a copy and asked to review this book. The opinions of this review are mine. The Prepper’s Canning Guide: Affordably Stockpile a Lifesaving Supply of Nutritious, Delicious, Shelf-Stable Foods by Daisy Luther was a book I was looking forward to buying and using for this upcoming gardening season.

In August, you realize that summer is winding down fast. You may have at least two months left to get everything done outside that you can get done.

This last week has been busy! Again. Surprised, aren’t you? I promise the winter updates will not be nearly as exciting as these summer ones. The weather is nice, hot, humid, and we are just trying to get everything done outside that we can. Except… We ended up doing an impromptu remodel on our downstairs bathroom. You know, toilets leak once in a while. A new ring, some chalk, and new vinyl flooring will make it better. The walls need to…
