Trying to Keep Cool!

We have been having awful heat here in Southern Indiana. Heat indexes of 110 PLUS! It was 123 last week. Just unbearable. I have been trying to do anything early in the morning and then keeping as much off as possible. There have been some power surges and a few of our lights have blown. So I try to just keep the bare minimum on. The AC!! We cleaned the central air thing over the weekend and changed the filter. Trying to make it work better! It hardly shuts off. I have it set at 74 and it is stuck at 76 just will not cool down in here at all. I made myself a sun bonnet ( prairie style ) for when I do have to go outside to do anything in the yard, like pick veggies, take out the trash, get the mail. This has just been a miserable summer after having had a miserable winter. Poor little one has not been able to play out and it is just awful. Hope that we get some relief soon.

Baby Corn Is So Cute & Tasty!!

Our little one picked out most of the veggies that were going to be grown in our small garden and he wanted baby corn. Well, this morning I noticed them having silks on them!! Me and him went out and picked what was on there and He ate some of them raw!! Great little garden and I am so glad to see that my son has a green thumb so early. At 4 years old he can grow anything. Our poor little garden is in soil that is mostly rock and he was able to grow veggies.

Our Garden Is Producing!

We are finally getting some veggies out of our garden. YAY!! I pulled 3 Zuchinni off this morning and there are bunches of tomatoes on the plants that I will probably be able to pick this weekend. I like them to vine ripen. The baby corn is getting close. I wish the green peppers and Brussel Sprouts would have grown. Also the heat , I guess, got to the finger cucumbers! I am not sure how well the green beans are going to do. That Zuchinni kind of took over that part of the garden and the green beans are stunted and slow growing now. Every little bit helps though. Cannot wait to make some Zuchinni bread and fried Zuchinni. Yummo.

Jailed For Gardening

Jailed For Gardening This is a scary story.

This HEAT!!

This heat is so excessive. We now have a heat index of 117 degrees. WOW! In Indiana!! That is just nuts and so unsafe. Yesterday it was about 110 degrees and our little one got sick just from going to the grocery store. That little bit of time and he was sick. We came home and he had a fever and fell asleep. I have been giving him cool baths and he now is feeling a bit better. He asked to watch cartoons. So I can just imagine how sick someone would get if they were out in this oppressive heat for longer amount of time. Scary thought. Our AC is not working too good , it is being over worked. Plus we have been having power surges off and on the past couple of days that has blown out a couple of light bulbs. I am now just keeping the bare minimum on. No lights, TV is off, Had salad for dinner, and am about to shut this off so then the only thing that will be on will be the AC and fridge. See if that will work. Tomorrow will be just as hot if not hotter.

Everyone please keep cool, do not let your kids outside, keep your pets cool , and PLEASE do not let anyone sit in a car!! Keep safe and cool. Stay inside and read, play games, work puzzles, talk, draw, color ( like me and my little one have been!) , and stay cool!!!!

Not Too Much Longer...

I should have a computer soon. I am saving for a netbook that is only about 200.00!!! I am thinking that in about 3 weeks I will have the savings for one. I hope. Than I will be able to get back to writing and working. Using my son's computer is ok for checking emails and stuff, but I can't really sit in his room for too long and do stuff on here . LOL Oh well soon.

Garden Is Loving This Humid Weather

Still am having trouble of not having my own computer, but at least one good thing is happening this week - Our garden has been growing a lot with all of this humidity. I think. I might be wrong, but it seems like this past week the garden plants have tripled in size. Just loving the heat, sun , and humidity. Oh and the few pop-up storms. I have not had to water the garden, but once this past week. The man across the way put a bunch of mulch around his trees and some flowers in the front of his place. I noticed him when we left to go to the store yesterday and we all waved at each other. Well, when we came home, there was a small pile of mulch in front of our small garden and a note saying to put this around the veggies!! How nice is that??? I guess we do have a couple of nice neighbors. LOL

Having No Computer Is Not Good!

I really am not liking not having my own computer anymore. I am so behind in the news. My son just so happened to go to a friends house to watch the NBA draft and that is the only way that I am on here now. I am trying to catch up on news. A lot happened in the past couple of days. It is so sad that I do not know what is going on since I have no cable, and now no computer. I am so down in the dumps right now. I am reading the new articles from my favorite blog, The last one is this interesting one - “Super EMP” Capable of Disabling Power Grid Across Lower 48 States. Very scary stuff there. I have read the Book One Second After a couple of times and having an all out EMP attack would be horrible. I guess the only thing that we can all do is prepare for the worst. Have survival food supply ,like Shelf Reliance THRIVE Starter Variety Pack 493 Total Servings Six, 10 Cans, Grab and Go 84 Meals Freeze Dried Survival Food, and Meal Ready to Eat (MRE), 12 Pack Case, Ration! We also need to have medical items and water.

Top Reasons to have Food Storage

Let’s face it. The thought of food storage is a bit daunting right? We know, we get it. With that being said, the reason it’s constantly discussed and we’re pushed to get it done is because of how truly important it is.

As you buy foods for your food storage you’ll notice certain foods have different shelf life, have certain types of preparation, etc. This makes you consider all types of things as you compile your food storage.

Emergency Preparedness

Torrential Rain Not Good For Garden

We had torrential rain most of today here and I went out after supper to check some stuff and noticed that our small garden was all squashed! Everything just looks like someone walked all over it and stomped on it all. :(
I hope that it all will come out of it. It was all starting to grow so good. We are already planning on what we are going to do with it all when it is picked. LOL
