Jibber Jabber

My husband started Sunday out with working on my car with replacing the brakes.  

First order of business on Sunday for me?  Secure some boxes for next week.  I'll need them to move books from point A to B and then back to A.  I'm so excited to get some bigger projects checked off the books this year.




Second order was to put more kale in the freezer.  My stash of greens were getting low.

Third to make room in two other rooms for the books and bookshelves before I start moving them.  I may do a purge if needed, but one entire bookshelf is canning, medicinal, homesteading and self sufficiency books and I know those will all stay.

Fourth?  Clean out our travel case of toiletries.  I've had it in the bathroom since our last overnight vacation, and decided it needed cleaned out (purge out any old stuff, reorganize).

Fifth order of business was to get a few more rows crocheted into Daughter's cardigan.  I'm gaining on it.

I also had some bananas to freeze.  I just didn't have the time to bake banana bread.

I love your blog! I’m not sure exactly how I found it, but I’m so glad I did! We have a lot in common. We have a little farm but I’m still working full time. I was home for many years, and that’s really where my heart is. I’m trying my best to be able to stay at home once again. Anyway, I love your blog so much! So nice to ‘meet’ you.
Warmly,
Lisa

Busy Sunday for sure. I am being rather lazy. I am trying to catch up with all my sites. New printer to set up and dinner to prep.

And, winter is supposed to be our slack time. LOL It isn't for us either, Kristina. Today I'm canning mandarin oranges in half pint and pint jars. Caught a sale $0.85 a pound. I snatched 20 lbs.

I remember purging my library at my old homestead. I do mean a 12x16 room floor to ceiling shelves and free standing bookcases. What I keep-homesteading, 3 cookbooks out of a collection of 40, my aromatherapy and herb books, holistic books, survival handbooks, and a scant handful of other books. Signed first editions of various books, and all the rest went to the libraries and collectors. I feel so much lighter without them. My Kindle holds quite a few copies just fine.

I'm plannin on to build a roo cellar above ground. We don't have a slope that's suikale to dig in, and a home digged in to our clay ground will just get filled with water in few hours. So, above ground, just needs enough dirt over it...
It is doable and I've seen several working root cellars built this way. It just needs a lot of dort. A. Lot. Of. Dirt. ( which is why I haven't got one yet)
Lisa Mann, so happy that you enjoy my blog. Sometimes during winter I can be a bit boring lol! Thank you for stopping in.
Carol, nothing wrong with a lazy day.
Cockeyed Jo, I do not have a kindle nor a tablet. I have seen some folks read books on them at the gym, but I never got one. I may need to do that at some point.
Ulvmor, I think that is the same way we'd have to go as well, but we are hoping to get down about 5 feet if we can. I was so close to getting it dug by a family member, but then tragic deaths happened in the family that year. I am hoping we get so much more done this year.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
