This here states perfectly the idiocy of how certain people “think.” They can’t understand the concept that the atmosphere is heating due to human behavior and has been since the industrial revolution. But they believe that somehow humans are changing the weather with tech aiming weather around at a whim. Science is fake! Climate scienceContinueContinue reading “Just Blows You Away”

Puppy Neutering and Yard Improvement: A Personal Journey
Yesterday, I took my pup to be neutered. This was the pup my narcissist relative insisted on buying from a breeder. I did at least find a good responsible breeder and not one of the backyard breeders. Unfortunately this relative wanted him to be bred and didn’t want to put any work into the careContinueContinue reading “Puppy Neutering and Yard Improvement: A Personal Journey”
In-Place Nutrient Cycling: Saving Money and Caring for the Environment
One thing I’ve always been a proponent for was in-place nutrient cycling. “What IS that?” You may be wondering. It’s something I’ve always believed in, even without knowing there was a proper name for it or that other people believed in it. It’s just one of those common sense (to me) practices. It’s an ideaContinueContinue reading “In-Place Nutrient Cycling: Saving Money and Caring for the Environment”
Frugal Gardening: Maximizing Plant Uses for Sustainable Living
Light rain this morning with some thunder. That is my new “rule” for myself concerning plants and the garden. Before, I made a lot of random purposes that just caught my eye. And yes, plants bring me joy just existing without any other use. But I must be frugal, and try to cut some ofContinueContinue reading “Frugal Gardening: Maximizing Plant Uses for Sustainable Living”

Whenever I start to feel like I’m falling behind and that the to-dos are piling up, I sit down andContinueContinue reading “Saying ‘No’ to Overworking: Embracing Lists for Self-Care and Productivity”
Nettles- Practical and Free

Transitioning to Minimalist Off-Grid Cooking: Challenges and Solutions
This is not my image, it was found floating around on the internet and on several Pinterest boards so If it is yours let me know and I will properly name it. One of the things I really have to get used to, and probably the most difficult things for me, to be honest, wasContinueContinue reading “Transitioning to Minimalist Off-Grid Cooking: Challenges and Solutions”
Homesteading Struggles: Starting Anew and Finding Motivation
Today is a beautiful day outside. Damp but not chilly. A bit humid. Lots of clouds with the sun occasionally peeking through. It has nothing to do with the picture I posted below. So what am I doing just wallowing in bed instead of using this day off from work to work on the homestead?ContinueContinue reading “Homesteading Struggles: Starting Anew and Finding Motivation”
