"Never Worked a Day in Her Life" and other BS
Good Morning Everyone,
Well to start off with here. It is raining...yeah! It started thundering and lightening very early this morning, around 5 am. I WAS sleeping pretty good, the first time in about a week, with my back and allergies giving me insomnia really bad, and then the flashes of lightening and KA-BOOM,...rattle, rattle, the house until you think that its going to come off its frame. But we need the rain desperately, as its so dry here, as well as other areas of the country, we just didn't have winter like we normally do, and March was a total almost summer heat wave and really dried things out even worse and made pollen and allergies worse that normal also and has made our farm fields here very dry and the winter wheat, which needed snow cover to help it along, really dry it out. I am not sure about yields this year, though our farm bureau is talking that it may be a good year, and one thing they were hoping for, was a decrease in grasshoppers, which I am not sure I am knowledgeable, but with the dry winter, and other variables, they did not think that hoppers would be a problem, but I was under the thought that heat and dryness triggered hoppers? If someone knows, please inform me, its just for my brain bank.
Well, what I wanted to talk about is something that falls on all of us who read blogs, especially about slow living, frugal, sustainable, low key, lifestyles, lifestyles not filled with consumerism, and the mentality of "buy, buy, buy" and then "buy some more", go into debt, work, work, work, yada, yada, yada....etc.
I also, before I go on this post, do not like to get real political, on both parties, and this post is not about the sides of politics, but it in a way, includes politics. so I will begin with this....
I see that the Democratic Strategist, Hilary Rosen, made a very derogatory and degrading comment about Mrs. Romney that she, and I quote, "never worked a day in her life". Well, what do you call it when you are a stay at home mom and raise 5 children?, Huh, Ms. Rosen? I would like you to define the word and comment of "work". I find this quite alarming and to be blunt, one of the biggest gaffes I have ever heard. If a woman chooses to stay at home and is able to, if her husband is able to work and give this gift to the wife, then this IS the family's choice in the matter, NOT YOURS. Now, many women, HAVE to work to support families, either by choice or by necessity, but NOT YOURS, MS ROSEN. Since when do you decide that staying home to handle the HOME. CHILDREN, BUDGET, TRANSPORTATION, ENERGY, FOOD PRODUCTION, and EVERY OTHER EMERGENCY that comes up in a home of someone YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW!!!!!
How dare you state that home moms (and dads) DON"T WORK!!!! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME.
I seem to recall that your present administration is UNABLE to handle the home, budget, transportation, energy, food production and emergencies that come up in YOUR HOUSE...need I say more.
If people choose to stay at home, this isn't your call, Ms, Rosen, not even in the least bit. I am personally shocked, and quite sure that this comment will come back to bite you in the ass, and when it does, it sure will leave a big chunk hanging out, which is what your tongue in doing now, hanging out and wagging.
I would like to know how YOU handle your home, Ms. Rosen, Please, I am all ears. How do you handle your home, children, budget, and all other things in between. I take care of two elderly parents, and another disabled adult, handle budgets for two households, and all of the other in-between that come up, plus there's me too, and I am disabled also, and I am sometimes in a whirl and a tail spin as to get it all done. But if is isn't called work, I don't what it is.. playtime?, vacation? Please fill me in or did I miss something or did not get a memo on that at the last meeting....
I am just livid at this, people, this is not a comment directed at Republicans, it is directed at all who stay home, who work and come home and work at the home job, and everything in between. It stabs at the very heart of family, home and life in general, our way of life. This comment has taken the family to a new low, something between dirt and worms. Need I say more.
Again, I do not want to get political, but please people, remember this comment when you get to the polls in November, and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.....VOTE, VOTE VOTE!!!!!
I now will try to calm down and start some seeds for the garden. Oh I forget, I don't work.....
Have a great rest of the week all. Hope some of you get some of this rain coming through.
Will try to post later in the week.

Happy Easter Season to All
Good Morning,
I just wanted to stop to wish everyone a Blessed Easter. I am working in the garden today, and will try to take photos of what I am doing.
I have a few more heads of lettuce to put in, and then I am going to re-start some tomatoes, and peppers. See if I have any luck with that.
Please enjoy the holiday, and remember what it is all about. If you are of other spiritual disciplines, please remember compassion, humility, and sharing in this world that so desperately needs it.

End of March fix-em's and other going-on's
Good Afternoon Everyone,
March 31st
I thought I had better post something, even if its wrong. I will post later, as I have had a few things going on around the house, fix it problems and then general errands, running after two households. I also have been somewhat under the weather, with sinus and congestion with the pollen, so I get winded, and everything takes longer. And yes, its age too.
There really isn't much going on in the garden yet, I have walking onions up and my lettuces and spinach are up and going and are doing well. My tomatoes I started are wilting, I did something wrong, so I am going to wait to start a second batch. I just don't have the light source to keep seedlings going. I have heat mats but that is just part of the solution to seedlings. My Jalapenos are doing very well. I hope that I can at least keep peppers going. Tomorrow is payday for me, and D and I will be off and running errands and I am going to our Menards store to look for some more seeds for the garden. The seeds they have are 20% off and that is pretty good around here. I want to start some more lettuces and greens.
April 5th.
I am sorry I have been away for a while. I have had lots going on, in my daily life and in the garden.
I have been keeping a running post going. It has been chilly and cool here. The last few weeks its been in the 80's. My lettuces are doing well. I have been keeping them covered with greenhouse plastic. We have been issued hard freeze warnings for Saturday night and early Sunday morning, so I will cover my greens with an old blanket and maybe place a couple of milk jugs under the plastic to help ward off the freeze. I usually have pretty good luck with greens under plastic.
I mentioned in the above that D and I were going to Menards, which we did. I got a few more seeds, and I will start some more greens. I adore salads in springs, after a cold winter, I crave salads and fresh foods. But since the prices in the grocery stores are unbelievable, (they are off the charts here, I'm not sure elsewhere), I am now in hyper-mode to grow as much as I can out of this tiny garden. I am going to re-start tomatoes in about a week. I need to go and get a grow light and a chicken heat lamp and at least between the light and the heat mats, I should be able to keep tomatoes going. I have such a problem as I do not have a dedicated room for seedlings with light and heat. My peppers are doing very well, which surprises me, so I think if I change and tweak a few things, I should be able to get the tomatoes going. I am going to order a few seeds from a catalog. I want to try some kale and a few new things and see how they do.
Over this last weekend, D and I cleaned under the front porch. It was loaded with old aluminium windows and junk that were the basis of a plan to build a greenhouse, but that went out the backdoor and I no longer needed the windows. So I called someone on Craigslist who was looking for metal to pick up and he was very happy to pick up the windows. Now I have space for my mushroom bed, which I have been wanting for about as long as the greenhouse. I am planning on two beds for mushrooms. These mushrooms I am planning for are Winecaps, Morels, (blacks and whites), and Shiitakes. These require wood chips, and compost and protection and where I want to put them under the porch, they will be protected, and get light but not cooked. When the weather warms up here again, I will post how we do the bed, and how I come out. I will be placing spawn in these beds about June, so we'll see how we come out. I have been getting more and more interested in mushroom cultivation, and these I want to grow are the easier ones to do. Some of the others are more difficult and require logs, which I just do not have room for, so the more adaptable ones that require wood chips and compost will work for me better and then maybe I can find some small stumps and start some of the more difficult mushrooms and see how I come out. Maybe a fall project?
Really other than that, there hasn't been much going on. We have to wait until D's payday to get fencing so I can fence off my south side for my garden..We also put a security light with motion detectors on the south side. The renters have been having issues with theft of stereo speakers and other stuff from cars and the yards that seems to be plaguing this already third world trailer park anyway. Its just getting more worse, so we have put lights up around our home, and then the renters get mad because the owners will not do anything for them. I do not give answers to the renters, except that you have to be responsible for yourself, and keep things locked up, or inside or in the sheds, the owners will not do anything, nor do they care about you, your family or your personal belongings, it generally comes back around to me anyway that its my fault so I just go on and keep my nose in my own backyard. We are also going to call my electrician, and have him wire for a security light on the back of the trailer to light up the back which has no light what so ever. If I can keep my house lit up, it seems to teeter problems with people wandering around. As far as the renters are concerned, I don't care about their problems. I am not the guardian here.
Well, I had better get off my fanny. I have a few things to do. We have Easter holiday coming up and I will be doing a small dinner for the folks and D and I. Not too much else going on. Maybe if the day is fairly nice, I will get in the garden and work a little on the mushroom beds.
I wish everyone a Blessed Easter, and for those who are of other spiritual disciplines, a wonderful Spring Break.

Update from the Storms Sunday Night
Good Morning Everyone,
Just a quick post and update from the storms. We had 4 confirmed tornadoes on the ground, ranging from EF-1's to EF-3's.
The EF-3 took out several homes and did quite a bit on damage in a small area. The wind speeds on EF3 are about 140mph.
The community is pitching in and helping those whose home were wiped off the planet. They are ok, and safe, and we have had hundreds out to these places to clean, feed and provide general help.
I will do some posts later.
I have also had several inquiries about why my blog doesn't come up for some readers. I am not at all sure why this is. I have had past issues with some people's blogs doing this to me, but I am not technical, so I wish I could answer the question. Anyway, just keep trying. From what I have been reading from other's blogs, they have or have had issues with blogger also. It may be technical in nature or just bugs in the blogger system. You never know in this day of age what is going on.
Anyway, I thought I would update you on the storm findings.
Take care and we will talk to all later.
Hugs

I am not flying with ToTo this Morning
Good Morning Everyone,
Well, we made the national news. We had some very wild weather that developed VERY quickly last night. I was watching the weather on the computer, which I do, and these super cells developed in a matter of minuites and made their way right to our door literally. The wind came up, had small hail, and the light show of lightening.
And along with that, we had a tornado that touched down just a block from us here. It made its way from the lake south of us and then hit Bailey Yards, which is the Union Pacific RailRoad main lines. My home is one block from Bailey Yards. It tossed about 15 cars around, hit some homes and did it general destruction. I went out and seen the clouds start to dip and swirl, and start forming. But, we have no place to go, so we just stood by to get into the heavy pickup and pray that if it did hit, we would bounce around, but my animals would be in the path and die, and the house destroyed.
We did not get any damage here at my house, the winds were fierce. And debris was flying around, the only solace was the fact this storm was moving at over 60 miles an hour right straight north and it was outside the city limits within minuites, but that is all it takes...a minuite or so to destroy everything.
So, this morning, I am giving blessings that everything was spared. There was some damage to some homes that were in the path , and the weather service wil be out this morning to access the damage and the rating that this storm had. Ratings are the EF ratings, from 1-5 measuring the wind speeds inside these power houses of nature. We will know more in a few days what EF rating this one had.
In my last post, I mentioned that I was "working". Well, technichnally, not "working" a job, but handling mounds of paperwork on my parents affairs and D's. It feels like I am working back at the bank and insurance companies I used to work for many years ago. It has been mind boggling. I do know, that I could not handle a job anyway, too many to run after, and there isn't work here anyway, especially for disabled morons like me. But anyway, I just wanted to clarify that I'm not working outside the house.
I have got some seedling up, some tomatoes, and leeks, and a few peppers. I have been so pleased with the cheap heat mats and covered greenhouses that I got. These really help with the tomatoes and peppers and other heat loving seeds. So, currently, I am pleased. I have never been able to keep tomatoes going until after it warms up totally, usually in June, and by then, its almost too late to get tomatoes going because of the weather and the growing seasons.
I have some photos and some more for posts, so I will post these later.
Right now, I need to get going this morning. I have a doctor's appointment later and some errands and I will touch base with everyone later.
Everyone, please have a wonderful Monday, I know I am thankful.

Absent
I apologise for my absence. I have had several family, medical and legal issues that I have had to attend to. I am working on some posts and photos of plants waking up and coming alive. But my family issues come first and foremost. There is only me. I have started working, then get home, and be totally exhausted and brain dead, until I couldn't think. It has started to slow down, issues being resolved and getting back on track.
Sunday, we got about a half inch of cold rain. It was very chilly. about 48* F. Monday, it warmed right into the mid 70's and yesterday, we broke a record of 78*F. Wow. Toward the weekend, close to 80*. Double WOW.
I am working on some posts, and photos of plants. I have started some heirloom tomatoes. Some Amish Paste, and Stupice. I also have some Mortgage Lifters. I am hoping with the heated seed mats, I can have better luck. I also have some Jalapenos started, they are up and I hope that I can keep them up.
Other than that.it is very boring, and very uneventful here, which I guess is ok. I just do not have a lot going on at the moment with all of the other things that were going on. It seems the days just blended together. As it gets warmer, I am hoping to do more with the garden.
D and I are planning on laying out fencing on my south side, so I can extend the garden. I found someone to help me to stretch the fence and lay posts in. D is currently down with spine problems which put him down in bed for about a week, so I am going to tackle little bits at a time. I just need help stretching the fence and getting everything wired up.
Well, I need to run some errands, and work on posts later today or tonight. I will get back later to all of you.
