Agreed Scott....fun, and a lot of work. Tara, you are so busy, creative, and productive. I need to take lessons from you .I've been lazy this winter, but when Spring comes around, I got to get to work. So much to catch up on. The dog bus is looking great!
As usual I so love your posts
love the foamy searies
sorry Ia m not seeing too well
deg
How nice to see Foamy, how old is she now?
Tara, you are so right. Too many people today think they are entitiled and don't want to work like we did for what we have. They want new cars and houses right away...something I worked for for years and then they can't make the payments on them. Or they are living in tremendous debt. Too much too soon. And yes, they're too many people just occupying space and not contributing. I'm blessed to have had parent to instill in me to work hard and not to expect things to be given to me. Yes, I have worked hard and far from rich, but I am content and happy.
:
Now keep in mind...this is GROCERY bill...and to me, that sounds awful quick since we see our Canuck buck sucks on buying all the imported items we purchase, especially at this time of year...time when all we can grow outside is ICE WORMS (fer bait to use ice fishing, eh)!
Few years back...there was this item about how we were not purchasing too many potatoes...I am like thinking...OK fries from fast food would not be decreasing, but what was being told was potatoes as in ones in the home fur cooking. The reasons...people were stating that "potatoes took too much effort to prepare and cook!" Yeh blows my mind...you wash up some spuds, you puncture them with a fork and toss in the oven to bake with say a roast beef, or pork and crout dish...too hard to prepare and cook. Oh my... and heaven forbid you have to PEEL them for mashers...good gack!
Whatever...I simply don't get lots of things but that is a good thing or during these economic downturns...maybe Rick and I would be in trouble...instead...we chug along, happy as larks, doing what we have always done and then moreso in many cases too.
Got my other seed order tallied up and order sent off... by tomorrow should hear what they will send me and that be that.
I am so ever thrilled on these...:

What are Rick and I doing because of the economic changes--pretty much what we have always done (no vacations, no new vehicles, no cel phone for moi...no lots of things)... BUT we are gonna grow a bigger and better garden...should have seed enough for carrying over for the next 3 to 5 years (life expectancy of germination for many of the seeds I have ordered)...so one of my hobbies will not necessarily save the place, but a hobby indeed where I can actually validate the time and resources I sink into this aspect of my fun times to feed our faces with much better for us foods. There was a time a few years back when I did have to question...the sensibility of growing potatoes at home and the work and efforts, costs and such to do that. Seemed hardly valid an undertaking when a box of fifty pounds was like ten bucks...well they are not ten bucks now and the taste of your own grown...well I guess we are just going to hafta suck it up Buttercup and relish the premium better for all of us veg, eh.
