Please don't feel you need to pander to "pretties and projects", as there are many places to go for those. There aren't many places to go for what you offer.<br /><br />parkerCoffeekittiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102186875407666181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-47940957675943063222013-03-27T00:10:34.423-05:002013-03-27T00:10:34.423-05:00I'll keep reading.

I know ...I reread this post, thats how good it was. I know you felt like you were rambling, but that was a great insight you had about all we do to prepare to get through the winter or for a time when we are unable to work.<br /> What made this post even more meaningful was a conversation with my mom the same day you posted this. She has been unable to do anything due to a back injury. She told me she would have been in a really bad place if not for all that I have done to stock her up on food. She has been unable to drive, go to the grocery store for over a month and has been living off her shelves and freezers.<br /> I too am facing an uncertain future with my husband getting his hours cut. My shelves are laden down with food that I have been squirreling away. It takes some of the uncertainity away knowing at least we will not go hungry for quite a while.<br />I think we all need to prepare better for the "winters" in our lives. I hope your healing doesn't take to long!Cindy B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-84821232750013280972013-03-14T20:21:09.362-05:002013-03-14T20:21:09.362-05:00Could Husband build you a milking stand, (like the...Could Husband build you a milking stand, (like they build for goats) for the cows? are they tame enough to go up a ramp to be milked?

If Husband and the boys could set up fences/cattle panels/trellises- plant what will grow up- peas, pole beans, cucumbers- and forget the rest for this year. Good luck!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-20803880581963730002013-03-13T10:36:19.356-05:002013-03-13T10:36:19.356-05:00I've heard it said that nothing worthwhile is ...I've heard it said that nothing worthwhile is ever easy!<br /><br />I can certainly understand your concerns about the coming Spring, but I have enough faith in you and the family to feel that you will find a solution!<br /><br />Just let us know if there is anything we can do, OK?HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.com
