Shame on me.

Hello. Shame on me for not keeping up with this blog. Its been raining everyday here, My legs and hands are killing me. Ive been making crafts trying to push the pain away but not working. The back of the yard is flooded. I told my husband that we had crawdads in the ditch in front , He laughed and said "Thoses arent crawdads thoses are lobsters after our Goverment has taxed them ",, HAHAHA. I still cant figure out where do they come from?? The rain? are they in the dirt? But I 'd love to know .Poor Kodie he was messing with one last year and I heard a yelp and by the time I got to him to see what was the matter. He flew by me with one hanging from his face. I dont think he will messing with them this year.LOL
I hate not having anyone to have a glass of tea with or a conversation with. By the time my husband comes home its eat ,shower,go to bed and start all over the next day. And when the weekend rolls around. Its work work work . Here or at moms.I cant wait till Fall my favorite time of the year.Theres a elderly man that sits up the street selling honey , I guess I need to make more recipes with honey. This mans honey is awsome. Not sure if its Orange Blossom or Palmetto . Ive been drizzling over rolls and biscuits. I tried my hand at making bread.Billie has never said anything but good about my cooking. But my bread was bad. He would never say anything. But he did say "Dont give any to the dogs".It didnt rise I did everything I was suppose to but I dont know if the weather has anything to do with it or not..Try try try again.LOL Heres some of the crafts Iam making.

Laundry Help.

Heres a great idea. We are on a well water . and I go through alot of bleach, so Ive been adding Zote to my laundry detergent. I run it down a grater ,them mix with my detergent and It saves me on bleach and fabric softener.. It has brighten my whites and if I forget to add softener , Its fine cause this soap adds a soften feel . I also using buckets from Lowe's for storing my sugar and flour , Iam going to get more for pastas and etc. The emblem has to be like this on the lid and bucket to be food safe , I drew it out , cause the camera was just taking it all white you could not see it. Ive been reading alot of blogs and some are alittle scarey , some are storing their food in garbage cans . Not safe cause the plastic in the cans have also pesticides made right in it. Look for the food safe label on buckets .I posted a picture of what it should look like. I would love to hear if anyone else has any neat ideas..

A little ,This and That.

Ive been stocking up and taking it seriously. Trying to stretch the life of some of my foods etc. Like taking things out of the boxs and putting in air tight containers.I found in a catalog I can buy the old time freezer containers cheep , really cheep. I loved them for freezing, comes in a variety of sizes too. I made some mulberry syrup the other day for the kids to go on waffles , It was soooo good.Next year Iam making syrup and juice from the mulberrys.I made some juice last week from this years harvest, very refreshing.plus all the good things Mulberrys do for our bodies. The kids are leaving next week and my heart is breaking already.Germany is on the other side of the world to me.to far to just hop in the car and go visit.Today they are in Bush Gardens, I hope they are having a good time. Ive been working on the back Lani , and I dont think its possible to turn it into a country setting. Althou I keep trying . Maybe if I had my own pot of gold It would be easier.For now I have to relay on make do's.Ive been asked to post the picture of the clothes pin bag for the pantry , (dollar store for 1.00 each)One for straws and the other for plastic silverware(Billies lunches).Ive been trying to organize around here , I put all my canning pot and jars etc, in the garage on a shelf. Today Iam going to see about transferring a closet to shelves for stocking up on stuff. Iam also drying my zinna seeds so I dont have to buy next year. I'll post pictures . Anyone have any neat ideas I would love to hear them .
