I am hoping God will take this opportunity to move us somewhere that we can homestead/hobby farm, but I am leaving the decisions to my wonderful man. I am spending my time here learning about small gardening and sewing. My girls are learning to knit and crochet. I'm experimenting with learning how to make my own cleaners. <BR/>I love your list and will definatly be trying to implement some more stuff around our city dwelling.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398673630969890548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669016506340735810.post-45212851067688575942009-03-16T18:28:00.000-04:002009-03-16T18:28:00.000-04:00Hi Jess,Yes, hard to believe a yr. almost.

Cooking, sewing, gardening etc..to me they were always fun and I have the best memories of the good old days. One thing I never leaned was how to can and that is something I've always wanted to so with someone. During these times we do need to remember is it a want or a need. I still struggle with this but I'm getting better...hugs, Linda<BR/><BR/>p.s. I love the pizza garden.....now that is fun...LLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673560576912863177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669016506340735810.post-35366888659345277882009-03-14T19:18:00.000-04:002009-03-14T19:18:00.000-04:00Hi Kris,Thanks!Have a great wk.end!Blessins',LibHi Kris,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>Have a great wk.end!<BR/>Blessins',LibLibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854570178942602696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669016506340735810.post-4301244938253795232009-03-14T19:17:00.000-04:002009-03-14T19:17:00.000-04:00Hi Miz.

LOL. I do enjoyed your post for today. It is so true. We should all be in GOD's word during these trying times. If you ask me, I really think tht GOD will be coming back for his people sooner than we think. Too many things have happened that was in the Bible. The world is in such bad shape and I don't think GOD is going to let HIS people suffer alot. I love wild greens also. I used to go with my EX-Mother in law poke salad hunting. LOL. We used to find some mustard greens also. I love me some Turnips as well. As high asgroceries are these days we may have to go back to growing our own food butchering our own meats. Most kids today coulsdn't survive in those hard times I dont't think. Like you said, we must all rely on GOD adn keep the Faith. Take care my friend and have a great weekend. May GOD BLess you and yours.<BR/>Love,<BR/>KAREN H.Karen H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02296807307750567830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669016506340735810.post-59891543322132169962009-03-14T07:43:00.000-04:002009-03-14T07:43:00.000-04:00Wonderful post , Lib.

As you say, having faith is half the battle!! I, too, was raised on learning how to can/preserve food grown in the garden and our meat was usually moose meat that dad would go hunting for. With only dad working and 5 kids to feed, we didn't have a lot but we were happy because mom & dad taught us to appreciate the simple things:-) Kids these days don't know the meaning of "simple"...they just don't know what they're missing. xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669016506340735810.post-27607976550147221332009-03-13T15:33:00.000-04:002009-03-13T15:33:00.000-04:00I had thought to ask you "What is a simple life?"....I had thought to ask you "What is a simple life?"... but I think you just described it. I know how to can.. just haven't done it in a while... haven't had a garden for a number of years... but this year we're planting one... <BR/><BR/>We cut wood and used a wood heater after the 1970 gas shortage... and it was good heat and I didn't mind bringing in the wood...but then our house caught fire.. and we went back to gas (central heat)...<BR/><BR/>During that time all our children were home and helped eat up all the food I canned and froze... Now it is just the two of us and we have found it easier to just buy what we need...<BR/><BR/>I think I can live the simple life... but I sure would miss the computer, telephone, tv, etc... but I could read like we used to do..<BR/><BR/>I am so happy that your needs are met.
