Tires 1.

When the weather begins to warm up, I begin to plant! I'm super excited to say that this year my tires will be a success. Well.... hopefully.  Above is a picture of onions that have decided to come up from seeds. Yes!!!!   I'm super proud, and I don't know if that is weird or not. lol 
    A local gardner gave me some advise about adding manure to my tires for an extra boost. My neighbor has horses and she was more than happy to let me have some. I didn't realize how important it was to socialize with them. It was a great conversational starter and maybe this might lead to an awesome friendship. Living in a small town makes things pretty much known, but letting new people in on your hobbies is always a positive.    I can always use some guidance when it comes to planting, and thanks to my ghetto green house I was able to start most of my garden early.      
              This year has also brought me to planting an actual garden. My neighbor used his tractor to plow it up. Corn and potatoes here I come!!!   I'm super thankful to be surrounded by all these amazingly generous people. 
This is how it all starts. I will have to cut and place these on the bank. It's just always nice to show people how the process starts. I learned today that these are actually considered to be raised beds.   It's always super nice to know that I'm doing something that isn't too weird.       I might enter the world of composting as well.   UMMMMMM   I don't know if its something that can be done. The local wild life does NOT need an additional reason to come into my yard.

LGFCU to Civic Bank

      This transition or merger has driven me absolutely crazy. I hate it and cannot even fathom how everything will work out. As a customer, I'm so annoyed and the lack of answers by actual people is ridiculous. So, I guess it will be only online banking? With school, a toddler, and a small farm I have not had the chance to move everything over to a different bank. It wouldn't matter anyway, because I have a loan through them that will transfer to the Civic bank.      Ahhhh!  Today, our cards stopped working and I was so upset. I had forgot and didn't get money out of the ATM beforehand. They forget that some of us are over 30 minutes away from the nearest town! I guess cash is really KING! I just home all my automatic withdrawals don't mess up along with everything else. I have no idea how older people will get through this phase. Both my mom and grandmother don't even use computers and can barely operate their phones. Both of them have never even us...

The Teacher's Lie by Brid Cummings

     A book review at its finest. I think every book is worthy of a review, so here goes nothing. I think the overall story is worth your time, however, I feel like the person who read it aloud on audible did the book dirty. Her accent and weird pausing in the middle of sentences really threw me off as a reader. I actually went back and purchased a paper copy. The author kept me guessing throughout each chapter, but the book was slow moving. I would put it down often to just take a break.      I would give this book a 3 out of a 5 due to the pacing and sequencing of events in the plot. Do not listen to it on  Audible, because it's terrible and dry.

Counting

      Counting on something is just another way to set yourself up. Each year I do this and you would think that I learned from the previous year's mistake, but NO I didn't. So here we are again sitting down here at the pout house thinking about how we are going to rebound from my expectations. Money can be made again and future planning will be taking place.           I will have to count my losses fully take responsibility for the fact that our egg production just cannot keep up with the demand. I will have to pay back a few people because I cannot fill their orders. Egg production drops during the winter months.  I know the ladies I work with will just want to barter for something else. Maybe once we get ducks that can be a trade off. I do not know a lot about ducks and will have to do some extensive research. We do have a small pond on the premises and that will fill some of the needs.          Any pointers o...
