People, the S has already HTF - so our lives continue as before - gather eggs; work the garden; stoke the wood stove; buy only what we need and only when it is on sale except for coffee and TP - you guys know how I am with my coffee and tp - It's hit. Do what prepared people and homesteaders do - live your life - try to help those you love and those aroundyou but get up every morning and do your thing - do your work - live and appreciate that even though it is cold outside, the sun is shinning and will come up tomorrow.
Well Said , Mom !

And if the sun doesn't come up tomorrow there ain't a thing in the world we can do about it - we are done.
Still Standing With Mom !

So Bob, what is the biggest problem in your life today. Mine is getting DH in the shower because we are supposed to drive to meet some new forum friends - I have relatives living in her little burg and as it turns out she and DH both grew up in the same town in WI - talk about fate. Wondering if the tomatoes that the boys didn't cover real well last night are going to be ok and how to potty train the puppy. Other than that - we have food - too much heat - guess I stoked the stove too much and I am enjoying the gifts that God gave me - the most wonderful man in the world, a small place with good dirt to dig in - chickens and ducks that lay more than I can eat and sun on my face
Its just everyday life , Mom !
We make a list and TRY to do the things that squeal the loudest !
Here is my short list :
Worry about my wife's layoff { she is the bread-winner }
Prepping for this weeks battle with county zoning office.
Doctoring the yearling Hereford heifer.
Hoping I have enough hay to make the winter.
Hopping I have enough firewood layed back.
Canning “One Jar Meals”
Hunting the latest feral cat that has showed up and is causing problems.
Work on a foundry I have been building.
Prep the hatchery for an early spring run.
Make feed.
Get my repair shop ready for spring.
Do a little forging { need barter items }
Start prepping the greenhouse.
Pray for rain or snow !
Put more wood on the fire {literally and figuratively } and Pray some more !
