Happy Birthday Geo

Praying that everybody gets wet that can stand it and dry if they can't. This looks like a labourously slow storm, can't imagine how much rain folks are getting but we're hoping not to repeat the tornados. Raf, it's really THAT cold in them clouds???

The boy was resessecuted but suffered a broken neck, I think it is still touch and go with him. The other boy has a punctured lung, broken ribs and head injuries. Both are in ICU.

An AF trauma nurse heard what happened, left her kids at home and worked the wreck up to lifeflight, this is the second time this lady has helped save a kids life like this.

Thank you, I am glad I gave my kids and granddaughter lots of hugs last weekend, I'm also thankful I have my daughter back I'm close to tears

Several friends of my son were involved in a bad wreck this afternoon one died enroute to the hospital. There is a noticable sense of loss in our small town tonight. Please pray for the boys and their families.

So, if you can or would, a few prayers for the kid in me would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi Wacky :)-->

My old age is something I've been thinking about lately what with being a grandpa n all (btw mom n grandkid are doing well!).

I'm slightly broke, having spent the better part of the last few years moving along several projects and going to school so I am keenly aware of my limited bank account.

My origional plan called for a nursing degree and work till I dropped, not out of need but a preference for useful activity. This plan has changed slightly due to the aforementioned projects as has my life.

Plan A involves a sustainable ag school commercial kitchen and multispecie processing plant, Plan B involves an intertribal development council and a yurt. :)--> both have retirement benefits attached.

That was dark?

LOL

No, just something that seems to fit at the moment

:D-->

Here is a one year plan to growing well adjusted vegi's in crappy soil.

Pick the spot where you want your garden and get the soil tested and ph/NPK corrected (might as well do the whole yard while yer at it). Pick out a 3' x 12' area (or less) and loosen the top 6" and derock it. Then take a good garden fork and loosen the soil as far down as it will reach.

Build a 3' x 3' compost pile at one end and let it cook. When it looks halfway done, flip the pile over onto the adjoining 3' x 3' space and cover the first area with a fairly thick layer of leaves, shredded if possible. When the pile is done, mix it into the remaining 3' x 6' area and cover the whole thing with leaves.

If you do this now you can work in two good compost cycles and be ready to plant in good soil next year.

A 3' x 12' bed is more than enough space for a good variety of fresh vegis and ground fruit and if you buy open pollinated varieties and like it you can save the seeds for next years planting.

Sounds like spring garlic and it's great in salads or stir fry. One of the cool things about garlic is that you can use the whole plant, root hairs, flowerettes leaves and all somewhere in your recipies.

And some more :)-->

Coming back to life

Where were you when I was burned and broken

While the days slipped by from my window watching

Where were you when I was hurt and I was helpless

Because the things you say and the things you do surround me

While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words

dying to believe in what you heard

I was staring straight into the shining sun

Lost in thought and lost in time

While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted

Outside the rain fell dark and slow

While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime

I took a heavenly ride through our silence

I knew the moment had arrived

For killing the past and coming back to life

I took a heavenly ride trough our silence

I knew the waiting had begin

And headed straight... into the shining sun

Her love rains down on me easy as the breeze

I listen to her breathing it sounds like the waves on the sea

I was thinking all about her, burning with rage and desire We were spinning into darkness; the earth was on fire

She could take it back, she will take it back some day

So I spy on her, I lie to her, I make promises I cannot keep Then I hear her laughter rising, rising from the deep And I make her prove her love for me.

I take all that I can take. And I push her to the limit to see if she will break She will take it back, she could take it back some day

Now I heave seen the warnings, screaming from all sides It's easy to ignore them and God knows I've tried All of this temptation, it turned my faith to lies Until I couldn't see the danger or hear the rising tide

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

She can take it back, she will take it back some day

How very cool Vickles :)-->

I have alot of shade so, for a change I'm growing a covercrop which is fescue and whatever weeds came up.

Garlic is easy to grow and is tolerant of some shade (just make sure your soil drains well to avoid root rot). Best place to get some is your homegrown farmers market (homegrown, now that brings back memories ).

You can take a soil sample to your county extension office and they'll test it for you and tell you what you need to add. Usually a ph adjustment and compost will solve most soil issues. Composting is not hard nor necessarily that comlicated, I dump grass clippings, animal poop and leaves in a pile n let nature take its course, then I flip it and let it finish cooking. I've then got a good 3' x 6' of enriched soil where the compost sat chock full of worms and enough finished compost to enrich a 4' x 8' bed.

I guess my advice would be to have fun and experiment, lay out yer garden so it pleases the eye and fits with your space, both physical and spiritual.
