Strawberries!

 I planted some strawberries a couple of years ago and they are just now growing great. I hope that we can actually pick some strawberries this year. Even if we just get a few. 

This Kit below is the ones that I planted. I had 4 of them and just put them out beside my shed and they started up growing. After a couple of years they have spread out quite a bit and have flowers showing up on them! I actually bought some blueberry bushes. They are growing , too.

Get In Shape for SHTF

 

                                 The number one thing to do to be prepared is to get in shape. 

                      A couple of months ago I got me this treadmill. Just a Manual Treadmill one that does

                        not need electricity. of course. 

                                       I also have stopped drinking soda. No more chips. We have been 

                              hiking more and getting out in the sun. We both have new bicycles to use instead 

                         of driving all of the time. Plus save on gas.

                             If SHTF it would be better to be healthy then to be out of shape.
