Not even the last week of February... but week 4

2 years ago

In so many ways the weeks seem to crawl by... but on the other hand... swoosh, and the week is over.

I planted strawberries, and sowed carrots, and dug almost the whole back of the yard up... made a ditch for the rushing water from the other folks back yards can flow across my back, instead of pooling under my shed and house. Cross your fingers for me, that it will work.

Today I have about 10 feet more to do... and it can truly rain. LOL

I did dig up ALL BERMUDA in that area... and the strawberries were planted on the berm I made. Video will follow soon.

I have had a wonderful day. Madge and I went to the eye doctor, then out for a wonderful lunch, then back home and I looked for the cow and calf while Madge rested. I then had her pull me on one of my junky tractors to start it, so I could go get a bale of hay. After feeding the 6 head of stock, I tilled a spot in the garden and planted 140+ red onions.

I feel so much better when I can get out and do something. I never do much, but just moving around is wonderful, and if we get the rain tonight everything will be even better.

Just hope you don't get ice.

There's arctic air coming down too.

I don't have anything in the ground just yet ( except for some overwintered stuff under tunnels).

But I'm getting set up to. Got seed potatoes and onion plants and sets on the ready and the ground all manured up and tilled in.

Guns cocked and loaded.

Beth, I forgot about freeze dance! You're right-- kids love it! I used to use Tae Bo . . .back when I had a VCR, I think (haha!). That is a good one, because it doesn't talk about being "sexy," I think . . .that's my big hesitation of doing workouts (other than things like yoga) w/the kids, because I don't like them hearing the message of weight loss, being sexy. fat = bad, etc. Outside, I was all set to buy them for home use-- went shopping with a friend who has always exercised in so many ways (gym, home, kayaking, caving, etc.) and she talked me out of them. She said I should just stick to weights. But, of course, traveling is a good reason, so I will get them. I have seen the GoFit brand-- good to know it lasts!! Bonnie, yay!!! That is awesome that you got yourself back on track. That is what counts. It's weird how we "think" not exercising, not eating how we wants. etc. is going to be better (because it seems like more fun!) but then we really do feel worse. RE: the step-- how is that on knees? More motivation . . . Have a great Memorial Day weekend, everyone!

I've made taco pizza (eons ago) and don't know if this is similar or not. Pizza Hut had it on their menu (again, years ago), but it must not have gone over very well. TACO PIZZA (Life as a Lofthouse) 1 pound lean ground beef 1 envelope taco seasoning mix 1 (10 ounce) can refrigerated Pillsbury pizza dough 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans 2-3 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I used colby and monterey jack cheese) 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes 1/4 cup sliced black olives 4 green onions, chopped Heat oven to 375 degrees. Brown ground beef in a large skillet, over medium-high heat. Drain grease. Add taco seasoning to the ground beef according to package directions. Unroll pizza dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (I used a 10x15 inch cookie sheet). Let dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Press dough over the bottom and up along all 4 sides the of cookie sheet. Bake pizza dough for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven. Place refried beans into a microwavable-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir well and then spread beans evenly over the top of the warm pizza crust. Top with the cooked ground beef mixture, sprinkle with cheese and then add the tomatoes, black olives and green onion. Return to oven and bake another 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Serve immediately and enjoy!

My comments weren't personal at all, gyr, I'm sorry you need to go in that direction. I hope you don't blush, I think you've barked up the wrong tree. life outside your little pocket - an unnecessary personal comment unsurprised if you discount it all anyway - Thanks. I do because I found nothing in your comments that suggested there was anything wrong with what I'd previously said. Blah, blah, then too "amateur" to replace a dryer fuse - I know nothing about dryers but would guess it's a part with a wire that clips on, and it either screws in to something or is screwed on. I wouldn't know where to find it or what it looks like. Knowing now it was a thermal fuse suggests it's a protection against overheating, an important part. If it needed to be replaced, that may mean the dryer was overheating. Why? Did the cause of the problem get identified and fixed too? As I said before, how does an untrained person know what it is and that that's what the problem is? And not something else or also something else? And you ducked my question - do you engage untrained and unskilled people to work on your home appliances? If you do while being able to afford skilled services, I'd suggest that's a foolish practice. They might have completely dismantled and rebuilt tractor engines, while still in high school- Sure, I think farmers try to look after their own machinery, it's traditional, especially on family farms. They have the time and not necessarily the money to do otherwise. It's not all that hard, I'm sure most can develop adequate skills for tasks learned young and repeated annually and through the year. Does repairing a tractor mean they know how to repair a home heating or HVAC system? Or a clothes dryer? There were no tractors where I grew up. Is that part of my being in a different pocket than you? I did dismantle and rebuild a car engine. And did several brake jobs - all were drum brakes at the time. And rebuilt a starter motor. And did the simple stuff - lube, oil change, tune up, adjust timing, etc. Cleaned a carburetor (that was tricky). In high school auto shop, a class I elected to repeat several times to broaden my skills. And, some years later, balanced dual carbs on my own English sports car that a mechanic was having trouble with. Are you chuckling now or laughing at me? Have you done any of these tasks? You're suggesting there's a large, truly rural middle class that earns its living where it is and doesn't commute into more populous areas? Not counting those who desired an escape from cities or suburbia or can work from home or are retirees? Where?

The soil gets better every year if you're amending it as you should....and the gardener gets better every year too. It all works together. : ) Here in OK the thing that throws the wrench into the works and gums it all up is the weather, because we never know when we are planting exactly what the weather is going to do for the next 6 or 8 months---it could be drought and no rain for 3 months or it could be flooding rains, 12" of rain in one day and 24" in one month. How in the heck can any gardener plan ahead and be prepared for all that? I stay out of feed stores during baby chick time or else I'll bring home chicks we do not need. They are too little, too cute, too fluffy and just too adorable to ignore. The last time we were in Atwood's they didn't have chicks in the stores yet, but I figured that for sanity's sake I need to stay out of Atwoods for the next couple of months, and TSC too. Rebecca, You probably are on track with your succession planting, but with snow peas/pole beans it might be a little tricky. I like to plant pole beans early---before the peas are done---because we get so hot here so early that my pole beans need to flower and set beans in May in case the heat is about to crank up too hot in June, which often happens here. If only the weather were perfectly predictable. My English iris, ornamental alliums, red hot poker and some daylilies (but not all) have been up for quite a while now---maybe a month? The daffodils were really late, and some of the daylilies aren't up yet, but I really think that is because of the lack of moisture. The recent rainfall should help with that. The autumn sages are leafing out, so I need to cut them back soon. Most of the reseeding herbs and flowers are no shows so far, but I saw the first couple of larkspur (sprouting in a pathway, naturally) a couple of days ago. I am thinking everything likely will just explode now that we had some rain. I hope Travis Meyer is right about Spring. I'm never going to be unhappy about an early Spring because I dislike Winter's cold so much. The incredibly, horrifically invasive pink evening primrose plants are popping up all over the front half-acre, and in the garden. I pull them out of the garden the minute I spot them. I am considering hitting the ones in the pasture with a herbicide. Yes I am! One plant gives you a million more and they invade everywhere. I got rid of them in the drought years of 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014...but they staged a remarkable comeback in 2015, 2016 and 2017's wetter weather. I cannot stand them. If you let them grow and reseed as they will, that's all you'll end up with in the end. I might keep them if they'd crowd out Johnson grass and bermuda grass---but they do not---they just happily coexist with it. Do you have any idea which parts of Fort Worth they're looking at? Maybe by direction, like North, South, East or West? The DFW metroplex has grown so very huge (7.23 million people) and Tarrant County's population so large (1.8 million I think and I am not sure how much of that is Fort Worth proper and how much is the suburbs that surround it) that it is hard to talk about parts of Fort Worth, as many people now buy homes in developments in the many suburbs that ring the city. Most people who move to the area try to choose a nice neighborhood that will be a decent commute to their work so that they don't spend an hour or two commuting each way each day. So, if you can tell me where their new place or places of employment are located, maybe I can point y'all in the direction of the great places nearby to live. And, I want them to be forewarned, it is a seller's market and homes are selling fast and at inflated rates, so if they want to buy, they need to pre-qualify to know their price limit and find a great real estate agent. Many of our friends who once lived in Fort Worth have fled to the outer, outer, outer suburbs as it all has become too urbanized for them in their former neighborhoods. Some have fled north almost to Denton, to north towards Denton and then west towards Decatur and the like. Others have fled very far south---farther south than Burleson and perhaps as far southeast as Mansfield. My niece tries to keep me up to date on what's what in terms of the neighborhoods and housing developments, and it shocks me when she mentions a neighborhood that was perfectly lovely and highly coveted when we left Fort Worth in 1999, and she tells me it has gone downhill and is now "ghetto". I guess nothing remains the way we remember it once was. If Saginaw and the area northwest of it are near their place of employment, there's tons and tons of new housing developments and new shopping centers going up there---for at least the last 10-15 years, and the growth is never-ending. It used to be Denton was considered a long drive from Fort Worth and too far to move to live, but now people tell me Denton isn't far enough away. I think much depends on whether they want to love in a highly developed neighborhood with lots of homes close together, etc., or if they want to move further out and had a half-acre or acre lot or even more. The weather was gorgeous here today. I trust it was gorgeous where y'all are as well. It was a little wet and muddy, but that won't last long. It actually was nice to see puddles for once. Of course, we had a fire. Remember how I told y'all that when rain falls in a bad fire year, it can make things worst? It sort of did that today. Some vehicle on I-35 had a tire that was coming apart and a piece of flaming hot tire landed in tall grass beside the road and set the grass and trees on fire. This occurred less than 12 hours after our rain stopped falling and it happened maybe a half-mile from our fire station. I was wondering if the ground was muddy enough for the brush fire trucks to get stuck, and suspected it probably was. The answer, apparently, was yes, and I learned that when one firefighter was yelling "stop, stop, back up, back up, you're gonna get stuck" to the fire truck behind him. Sitting at home listening to him holler made me grin---not because I wanted for anyone to get stuck, but because it is just so predictable. So, now that we have had rain, the fires will continue on because dry, dormant vegetation reminds dry and dormant, and the fires will be harder to fight off-road because of the mud. As my son would mutter sarcastically "Great, just great." One thing that was odd(in a good way) today was that it was so warm that the songbirds did not have to spend every minute of every day eating nonstop in order to stay fueled up and warm. I didn't have to refill the bird feeders until almost sunset. The stores near us still have all the typical cool-season transplants on the shelves, but also more herbs that I think of as needing slightly warmer weather...and quite a few tomato plants. This was the first week I saw tomato plants, and I won't remember all the different varieties I saw, but among them were Early Girl, Better Bush, Roma, Better Boy and maybe Beefmaster or Big Beef. Most were the smaller transplants that cost $3.48 or $3.58 in 3" peat pots, but the Early Girls were larger and cost $5.88 in what was probably either a 5" or 6" plastic (not peat) pot. They also had flats of pansies. Last week they only had violas. I bet next week they'll have flats of petunias. It follows a fairly predictable pattern here. We only went to Wal-Mart and didn't go across the road to see what was at HD because their plants come on the very same trucks from BP, I think, and they tend to get the same plants in at the same time. Exactly the same, but sometimes HD does have pepper plants in about two months too early---and earlier than Wal-Mart does. It was ridiculous to stand there and look at those big monster plants, all of which could eat my tiny tomato seedlings in one gulp. It doesn't make me wish I'd started mine earlier---because our soil is still far too cold for tomatoes. I believe I started mine at the right time for my area given my weather and soil temperatures (even with the recent warm-up). I might feel differently if the soil temperatures start hitting and staying in the 50s while my tomato plants are still 2 or 3" tall and wide. Gardening is an imperfect science. I hope people didn't see those tomato plants and automatically assume it is time to buy them, take them home and plant them because we have some freezing nights in our forecast around mid-week. Dawn

I should have looked at the weather before planting. I never watch TV because I cant hear it. If the weather permits tomorrow I may go out and toss some hay on the onions. Nearly every year I have problems with the wet ground more than I do with ice. I have had better planting conditions this year. Part of the better conditions are because I did not plant a cover crop. I like cover crops, but it seems as they cause my ground to stay wetter, and down in this valley I seem to get everyone's excess water.

Jen, before covid I got a 10 or 20 pound bag of sprouted potatoes after Christmas for .99, I kept the potatoes till potato planting time, (they were really sprouted by then), those potatoes produced better than my seed potatoes.

This will be a week. Work will be a lot. Just got home from a late meeting. The rest of the week will be the same...and more.

However, we have chitted potatoes on the shop floor, a new raised bed in the hoop house, and healthy seedlings on the light shelf. The lettuce is too healthy.

Yesterday I was able to clean up the kitchen garden a bit. Pulled out the early weeds from the raised beds. And cleaned up trash and junk. Tidied up a bit.

Today, I was mostly off of work, other than the late meeting. We got the new raised bed filled with soil and finally got the utility room cleaned and organized.

Bad weather coming. If we could have a bad weather day and stay home, that would be great, but ONLY if everyone keeps their electricity. Otherwise, no thanks. Power outage is no fun.

We went to Walmart, Madge wanted to pick up a few groceries, and I bought a pack of arugula seeds, grand daughter wanted to plant some.

Brrrrr. 28. Brrrr. We had freezing rain last night, too, Kim--and it's loud here when it rains, too. I hope you stay warm!

I ordered a juicer. DIL had been trying to get me to for several years. I finally did it. What I'm most tickled about is that all the best things to juice are all the things I'll be growing. What I'm least tickled about is that it sounds like a pain. BUT GDW and I both know we don't eat nearly enough veggies, so this will help. Also have ideas for what to do with the pulp. Juicer health has evolved!

I'm excited to see all the seedlings. And am proud of myself for not planting tomatoes yet. March 1 will be the date to plant them. And I didn't get carrots in--maybe this weekend? Later.

Kim, congratulations.

Also, I hope your little house is okay after your crazy weather.

We had an insane storm July 2020. It blew one of my broody pens over the fence of the chicken yard and rolled the broody box, where Momma Hen and her chicks were. It was blowing and pouring rain (and a tree was briefly on fire -- rain quickly put it out), but I ran out in it without thinking and dragged that heavy broody box in the dark, blowing rain to the coop. Thankfully mom and chicks were uninjured. Amazing really that they survived.

So....I can imagine what your 1:30 am run out to get your dog must have been like.

My school job is out tomorrow. Hopefully the power will not be.

I'm irritated at myself for not having flowers started yet. Maybe next week.

The lettuce has outgrown the light shelf. I'll just start making salads from it, I guess. Nothing wrong with that.

Where is everyone? We have a coating of ice here, and I expect that some of you have it much worse than I do.

I went out to feed the 6 head of stock in the pasture, and fell two times. I came back to where the rtv was parked and drove it up to where I could just step from it to the handicapped ramp to come back into the house.

I have a shallow cardboard box under the porch cover, in which I place chicken scratch, the birds are having a party on the porch.

I have not been out to any of the gardens, it is just too cold and slick. I am sure everything has a layer of ice on it. I had planned on planting more onions anyway, I only planted 2 bundles of onions, all red. 1015Y is the one I plant the most of, it seems to do a little better than the red one, in my soil.

I dont plan on planting any potatoes. My neighbor said he would plant enough for me, I will just swap out some tractor labor for the potatoes. My tractors are larger than his, so it is easy to find work that he has a hard time doing with his smaller tractor.

Add to this, my friend in Minnesota died yesterday... and the Ukraine was invaded.

Ukraine isn't terribly far from Germany and France, where my siblings are. Needless to say, I am on edge.

I mega covered my cold frames, and so far saw 27 as the coldest in there. I hope, I will be able to continue eating my own home grown salads... and I hope, my carrots will emerge sometime... I have them covered with two heavy layers of cardboard, weighted down.

Ah Moni. . . What a horrible turn of events for you. I am so sorry. We've been quiet this morning, just trying to digest the Ukrainian situation and the sheer evil exhibited by Putin. I'm sure the reverberations will be felt all around the world.

Also word puzzles to distract me. AND so super cool, one little thing, at least. I was upset because I hadn't taken time to save Midnight ornamental pepper. Remy Orlowski (Sample Seed Shop) was about the only seller, and as you know, she died in 2020. I had seeds left from then to use 2021 and was thankful because I didn't see them anywhere else. But I ran outside last month, and there were several little peppers that had died on the plant, so gathered them up, brought them in and dried the seeds for a few days, then planted with the rest of my peppers 2/15. (I soak my pepper seeds for 24 hrs first--googling expert advice, most say it doesn't help. All I can do is cite my own experience.) The first peppers sprouted 2/6 and 2/7. . . now the Candy Cane Red (sweet), Sugar Rush Peach (hot), Ros de Mallorca are all up, and today it looks like ALL the Midnight Peppers are up--I sowed them heavily because I didn't think they'd grow. Ha! Here's a link to another small grower that got theirs from Remy. Yes--a very special pepper indeed! I was so tickled to see them--and now will always have the seed. When she grew them and I had just been informed by Amy/Dawn about her business, I bought several things. She had highlighted the Midnight pepper in a set-apart box saying that no one grew this and it was a pity because everyone SHOULD. I agree with her. I think I gave some away at SFs. I know Jen Hart took one to her boss.

Moni, I do a few YouTube workouts. Mostly 3 that I rotate through. One is a low impact kickboxing, another is a 10-minute ab workout (I do arms with weights on this day too), and a wonderful workout that is for people with a foot injury. It is amazing and will tone you up fairly quickly. It's good for everyone not just people with a foot injury.

School is out again tomorrow. I might just stay home from my other job too and make jelly and jam. I'll need to go in on Saturday to catch up on a couple of things, but that's okay.

I have a lot of berries in the shop freezer, and it will be nice to clear them out before summer. I'll need to check my supply of jelly jars though.

We found out yesterday that Indian Hills will become a turnpike. I live very close to Indian Hills. Very close. Maybe a quarter mile? If that. I have no idea what this will mean for us. The only way into our little neighborhood is Indian Hills. It's a one way in, one way out neighborhood. It's hard to figure out how they'll make another entrance. There's homes/properties on all sides of the neighborhood and a lake on the east side. Even while they're building it, how will we get in? I don't know. Very upsetting. This was supposed to be our forever home. We've put a lot of work into it. It's not just us--it's a lot of people all up and down Indian Hills. Some people who live on properties that have been in their families for years! Like 75 years.

Maybe we'll be a weird "no man's land" neighborhood just off a turnpike. Sooner Road is slotted to be a major exchange/exit. Sooner is also very close to us.

Other than that, I need to up pot stuff and start tomatoes and peppers and flowers and eggplant and roselle soon.

Kim, I'm excited for you!

Larry, thanks for caring for the animals.

Jennifer, I would not worry about the way to get in and out of your property, a road can be built in a short period of time, and that is the first thing they will do. But, it is anyone's guess about the long term impact it will have on the neighborhood. The land I live on has been in the family for 70 years, and a lot of changes have happened since then, most people would say that they are good, I like the better roads, but most of the properties have been split and sold, so I have a lot more neighbors, most I dont even know. The neighbors I do know, I seldom see. With TV, cell phones, and a much busier life, plus covid, things are so much different.

I had to edit, because I stated we had been on the land for 76 years, but we have only been her 70 years.

Our story about Yak-traks: An icy time in the past, Daughter and youngest son were here. Ron was going out for some reason. Son says be careful, the front porch is solid ice. He shows the Yak-traks on his feet. Daughter says leave the door open so I can hear you yell if you fall. He turned around and said When has THAT ever been a problem. It's funnier if you know him. He's loud to begin with but he can bellow like a klingon.

Larry you should definitely have something to prevent falling. Of course they might act like ice skates on ice.

Nothing new. Ron was going to go out and get some potting soil, but decided it would be frozen.

I soak all seeds for a couple of hours before planting indoors. I might, if I remember, when direct sowing. There's also a thing called priming, where you soak a seed, then let it dry out. I think the instructions for spinach are to put seeds in an airtight container in the fridge for a week. I've never done the fridge, but I have soaked them and dried them and planted a few days later. Seeds are amazingly resilient.

I am so sorry Jennifer. Is the turnpike a given or can you fight it?

I do miss the sample seed shop. I always checked there first.

Good luck Kim, how are the roads in Texas? My son is in San Antonio doing a National Guard thing.

I hope the weather this weekend is better.

Now I am doubly glad to have bought here in the city. Before I kept looking all over on my bicycle rides.... At least, I can walk to a lot of places of business.

Thanks Amy. I have been iced in for 4 days. I haven’t needed to get out thankfully. I am going to daughters today about 4. Temps are up today so should get a good thaw. My sil goes to work early and she said roads are treacherous.
Thank y’all for sharing your knowledge these many years. It is because of you I garden and now consult with people how to garden. Kim

Amy, I agree, I need some way to keep from falling, and I think the Yak Trax may help. I have thought about taking an old pair of shoes and just running some sheet metal screws throw the bottom, and placing a shoe insert on top of the screw heads. I cant walk much, so I seldom wear my shoes out, they just come apart from working in the mud and water. I would bet that I have an old pair of shoes and inserts that I could play with.

I was luck when I fell yesterday. The first time I fell I landed with my chest across the top of 5 gal bucket that I had feed in. The second time I just sprawled out like a drunk sailor, but did not break anything.

I seem to break teeth when I fall. The first one cost me a little over $2200.00, the second one I just had pulled. The last time I was told the repair bill would be around $5000.00. I am still trying to find a better solution on that one, I will go for a root canal on Mar 7 or 8. I am not sure what will happen after that, I may ask for a review on Nancy's juicer. I may have to quit eating all together.

I have the RTV parked at the end of the handicap ramp now. Madge ask me to get the mail, I doubt that it is over 200 ft to the mail box, but I drove the RTV. There was not a car in sight when I checked for traffic, by the time I crossed the hwy, every car in the county had to drive down the hwy.

Amy, we're going to a Ward 5 meeting next week. I'm not sure if we can fight it or not.

Larry, we were just told tonight that they'll be taking a quarter mile on either side, which would be our property. If that's true or not--who knows. I don't know where we'll move if it's true. We won't be able to afford anything like what we have now. We've put quite a bit into our property. Will probably have to move back to a regular neighborhood. I just need to be in a city that will allow my chickens.

We took our extra bed--the one in the third bedroom--to our friend's mom who is being moved into an assisted living facility. She was desperately trying to get it furnished for her mom. ...and we're really not using that bed.

The roads were good. Dry for the most part. But, I fell in our own front yard. Very slick.

I bought some Epsom salt with eucalyptus, peppermint and clove. I'll soak tonight to try to help with the future soreness. Plus, I've got another cold and maybe it will help with the cough too. A sick student sneezed snot right into my face on Tuesday. :/

Other than watering everything on the light shelf, I haven't done anything garden related today.

Well, I guess making jelly is sorta garden related. I used the frozen roselle juice, strawberry juice, and blackberry juice that was in the freezer from last year.

Hazel I am so sorry you slipped on the icy surface. I hope, you are not sore today.

To bad also, about the kid sneezing on you. I hope, you put a mask on him.

Back when I lived in Ponca City... actually outside of Ponca... along highway 77 it was a two lane highway... but then the state took part of that property (my father in laws) to make two new south bound lanes.. and the present roadway was turned in to the two north bound lanes. My FIL tried to get more money from the state for his land... but ended up with less.

We had 1 1/2 acre way at the end of the original 10 acre property. It was before we got so many turnpikes... and I bet, this will never be a turnpike. I am sorry this is happening to you.

How long have you lived there? I wish, you could have found out what the long range plans were for future roads.

Jennifer, I am so sorry about your home. I would guess your first move would go to the city or hwy dept. and get a copy of the drawing to be used to do the modification. It is hard to fight any thing like that, but you need to know what your options are. I would say, that, they are not planning to take a quarter mile on each side. I cant see where they would need that much room. They may offer to buy a quarter mile each way to try to sweeten the deal, but I doubt it. I am not sure that I have ever noticed a quarter each side right of way, other than for an air port.

I understand your feelings, we had to fight the planning commission one time, a person can sure get upset when someone starts messing with their home. I would hate to be trying to buy a home now, and, as far as I am concerned, building one would be worse. Our grand daughter did not come down for a visit last week end because they are build a home, and the windows that were ordered in Aug. had come in. Supplies are hard to get foe everyone, especially the little guy.

Hugs Jennifer. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. You be careful on the ice, too. In 1979 I fell on ice and broke my ankle. I have been terrified of it ever since.

You too Larry. Maybe a stick like skiers use?

I have nothing new to add. I guess I'll go make my Baker's Creek order.

I've just decided that I'm not going to worry about it. I'll go to the meeting and "protest" with the others, but, honestly, if they don't take our property to build anything, we will just stay here more than likely. It will not be fun being so close to a turnpike, though. My BIL said a developer will probably want our neighborhood at some point if the turnpike people don't take it.

I guess, my things is--how much more do we put into this property if they'll force us out? This is not a fancy property at all OR a fancy house. We bought here because it really is just the perfect size for all we want to do. Our last house in a regular neighborhood was fancy and large, but had almost no backyard.

I don't want to go into mega debt to buy a large piece of property. I'm sure we would qualify, but at our age, do we want a large house debt? We've paid this house down quite a bit since living here, plus used our money to add a 1200 sq ft. shop and do some remodeling--the entire kitchen, living, dining, and utility was gutted. The hall bath was remodeled a year ago. Tom did most of the work on the bathroom, though. Our bedrooms and other bathroom need help. The carpet and other bathroom especially. BUT, do we spend the time and money doing that? Also, just the work of adding the gardens and remodeling a 12'x16' shed into a nice coop. I just think of how much work I did on the kitchen garden--it took a couple of years to dig out all of the bermuda grass.

But ya know, the local news keeps showing the same picture of Franklin NOT Indian Hills when it talks about the new turnpikes. It's the next main road to our south. To me, it makes more sense to use Franklin. Seems like there's less development. Except Toby Keith's house. lol. And his Hollywood Corners place. Oh, and the votech.

We will just see what happens. Either we will stay, or we will be forced out. Whatever happens, we will bloom where we are planted.

I'm not sore from my fall. Thank goodness. I might have a bruise. Once I realized I was not going to be able to stop it, I let myself just fall without tensing up.

I've been sick a lot in 2022. It's like the first year I worked with children--was literally sick half the year. Maybe our immune systems were weakened from not being exposed for a couple of years. It's like starting over.

What is everyone up to this weekend?

Madge and I went to town for breakfast and pick up some fertilizer and range cubes. I noticed that all the plants at Farmers Coop looked like they had had hot grease poured on them. The plants at tractor supply looked nice, they had rolled them inside, and were priced almost a dollar higher for a 6 pack.

I ask at the Coop if they had any idea about the seed and fertilizer supply. I was told that the seed are ordered in the fall, and that $800,000 dollars of seeds were order, and they were to have been shipped this week, but the trucks were not able to bring them in. They have no idea what Covid and Russia are going to do to the seed and fertilizer supply, but no way it can be good for us. I also picked up an extra diesel can, and may even repair my outside diesel tank. My plans are to have fuel to have food and to plant cover crops for next year.

HJ, that stinks! Hope everything works out to your satisfaction. But if you do have to move, the market is still pretty good. If you've paid down on your house, you might be able to find something that won't be a huge debt.

Set up a seed shelf in the garage & am going to start tomatoes & peppers this weekend. Right now I'm sorting things by priority to see how much I can plant before I run out of room. I'm pretty sure I've already hit that point, but I can jusify it by telling myself they're all old seeds. If they sprout great, if not I cleared space for more seeds.

Jennifer I empathize with you. A local builder is putting 240 homes on the quarter section that adjoins our farm. We have owned the farm for 31 years and built a house here 18 years ago. There will be a lot of water turned onto us, right across where our biggest and clear pond is. It sickens us to know how many dogs and people will be coming across our property - plus all the trash. We’ve known it was inevitable for several years but kept hoping it wouldnt be in our lifetime. We have been to meetings and talked to everyone possible, but were told it really didnt matter what we thought. We dont have money to fight what will be a losing battle and the developer just says ”I told you I’d buy you out if you will leave” We’ve put 30 years of hard sweat and work and many many dollars into redoing pastures and ponds and improving this place. More than it is our home, our family, friends, doctors, and church are close. I expect we will just try to stick it out as long as possible. I understand your heartache, I’m not sure my attitude is as forgiving as you. It’s a hard change to accept.

Nancy, I received the Aspabroc seeds from Pinetree yesterday. Going to get them planted this afternoon. With the new conflict I fear we’d better all plan to plant a bigger garden. Reminds me of the Victory garden era.

We still have a lot of ice - maybe by tomorrow the ponds will thaw enough to let cattle out. We had another new calf this morning - makes 16 so far. Baby calves are so precious to watch.

Haven’t let the guineas out for several days, they have a safe, secure house with plenty of space inside. We’ve seen more big coyotes this week - looking for food like the birds and other animals. I try to tolerate until they start getting chickens or calves. 3-4 raccoons are here almost nightly tearing up bird feeders unless i bring them in - some nights I forget. Wildlife is entertaining, but can also be destructive.

Larry, invest in a set of YakTrax - you won’t regret it

For those who watched one of the latest Roots and Refuge videos where she had the photo box organizer for organixing seeds, she mentioned getting it at Michaels. The Michaels around me were out of them, but Hobby Lobby had a lot. So, try HL if you want one but cant find it at Michaels.

With the so tragic events of the past 3 days in the world, appt for me because of pain--no relief; ER appt for Jerry Kitty today, watching seedlings grow too fast. . . just anxiety, hope for the countries suffering so, including the Ukraine now. . . Is it true that "The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing"?

I love this group of gardeners. Thanks so much.
