Wish Me Well Tomorrow
I have an interview at 1:30 for an office job that I am well qualified for. I have great references, and I had my resume spiffed up by a professional. It's a small community, and all the good jobs get a bunch of applications. And I m 61, so that's a concern. I'm a bit desperate to leave the elementary school custodian job…

The bureaucrat and the bull
One day a fella knocked at an old farmer's door... and when the farmer opened the door, before he could even say hello, that man showed him a laminated card and said, "I am a government official here to inspect your farm. I can go anywhere and inspect anything and you can't stop me." The farmer answered, "Well, go 'head…

Figured out why I've been sick so often in Pinehurst, NC
I've been in Pinehurst for a while, helping with a sick family member..... health has been awful since I got here... we have to get out of here ASAP! Check out the water quality... and, it seems there is a Super Fund former Monsanto pesticide plant right on the edge of town, and the county is building an elementary school…

C'mon, how about some innocent Humor
With @silvertipgrizz 's writings about reading cursive-print, & the Declaration of Independence, & the Bill of Rights, & the US Constitution, & who knows what else 😉, I thought maybe some humor would be okay. After all, people have started threads about all sorts of non-plant things. My only hesitation was: who wants their…

Just today
I noticed as I was leaving work at 6pm that it's ever so slightly less dark, even with the snow falling! Mid January can seem so dark and cold. But spring is coming! I really need to get serious about my garden plan.

What's your thing?
I'm a retired person with a bit more time up my sleeve these days. My mantra is live as healthy as possible and to look after my partner and I, so we can live and enjoy life to the fullest. Neither of us take any medication (pharmaceutical) and we grow our own veggies, eat seasonally and only buy what we can't produce. I'm…

Warning... sensitive topic
Okay... so... 95% of people I've tried to discuss this with won't discuss it at all and get mad. Recently, a county animal agent asked if I could take some horses. I can't right now. I'd be glad to have some just for aesthetics and manure soon.... have in the past... I love horses as pets... but I can't right now. She told…

Dandelions and Marital Harmony
It is amusing to me that I am about to plant dandelion seeds in a pot to be grown indoors. I do have a few persistent dandelions that grow in my mini lawn, but my husband does not agree to letting them grow and prosper there or anywhere else in my yard. Ironically, my husband in his childhood was tasked by his mother to go…

A Story
Mrs. Wildcraft expressed an interest in the tradition of story telling I grew up with in the southern Appalachian mountains. For me, telling stories and playing music is a big part of independent, more self reliant living. People spend a lot on entertainment. I've spent plenty on old instruments and books... but stories…

How many and how big are your gardens?
I composing a post over in the Personal Journal category and suddenly have a question for you all. How many separate garden beds you have? How many square feet of garden space do you have? I don't have an answer for you just yet. Maybe tomorrow evening as the weather is supposed to be fair and I am hoping to get outside…
