Here in New Jersey you can’t swing a dead deer without hitting another deer!

Neighbors took 16 of them offa our farm property this year….


I'm thinking that between them and a side of beef from time to time that Out West will stay in meat from now until Kingdom Come Will Be Done. That and we're looking to trim back on meat consumption anyway.
 
We have a bank at the road - actually, we have both sides of the road for a chunk of distance. Forsythia would be great, and lots of bulbs, too.


It's (kinda) on the To Do List (of Self Oppression) . . . .
Just make sure you plant a bunch of bulbs together. They don’t do well at all singularly so plant in clumps.

Same with Cynthia, they like to bramble so take a bunch of cuttings and put them all close together.

Hell, Mrs wonderer and I would love to come out and help you plant em.

Hell, you're welcome any old time.


She'd make sure we don't fuck it all up.
 
Yet. As we minimize, we come to be able to get by on less income. Part of the purpose of the current situation is to pay off the rest of Wat's I-Want-isms and as much land as possible and to save for the next land bits, and some tiny houses. And a shop. Then we get to grow some/most of our food, shop at the Amish veggie stand, can, buy a side of beef, and hunt a bit. Out West, if you hang around enough, a deer will wander past within 200 yards or so.

It is emptying your bucket to try to fill somebody else's

I tried it too.... but I could never do enough... so I stopped and now I have fewer relationships but better ones
Oh so much this. I learned "this is the way' as a child and only since 2018 have I started trying to focus on filling my bucket, and sharing with those around me in meaningful ways. Given I turn 55 in a couple weeks I have decades of habit to overcome. Every day I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Every day I find the places I slipped and learn what I can from them.

And coffee. Coffee every day.

It's not that our parents and teachers lied to us. It's that so much of what they taught us just isn't so.
 
Greetings from vacation.
Rare downtime on a busy Saturday.
Contemplating a short nap after this - company (other than me) for dinner.

Catching up -
I vote we stop the clocks all together. They're moving way too fast! My vacation only just started and italmost over! 😭

😍 OM!! Lovely to see you & your memes!!

B2 has been excellent as a @tand-in

(((MissK))) - so sorry! I once added a switchboard on an Access database with a hidden doorway into the actual data table b/c 2 co-workers consistently tucked up the data every time they touched it otherwise. :rolleyes:

My daily ride is a small SUV with 144 + low change potassium miles. No lojack or Bluetooth. But step up from last car - it has power steering & power windows. No frills - sits up higher for my titanium knees & just gets the job done.

Heard there was snow back home this week. Good! We didn't get nearly enough this year IMO... Plus, I'm not there rn, so bring it on! :LOL:

Not looking forward to losing an hour!
Maybe a short nap right now would help mitigate it? :unsure: 😴 :LOL:

Be good. Have fun. Check in again later.
