Horrible events

I just wanted to say that this oil issue off the coast of Louisiana really bothers me. The fact that 42,000 gallons PER DAY of oil is spewing into the ocean is atrocious. Whats worse is that they aren't able to do a thing about it....or so they say. Makes me sick....in the meantime the president is running around being social. The wet lands of LA and the Gulf Coast are going to be ruined, and if you ask me its another government scheme to imprison the people of the US. Making things irreplaceable, and putting us in a situation of being more dependent on the government.

Well, not me. I can do without the seafood, and although I find it extremely horrible that this is happening, I'm not going to be goaded into believing it was an accident or that there is nothing they can do about it. I'm not getting sucked into their ploy to make me depend on them for my every need. I can and will be dependent on myself and the land I live on.

Its coming folks, believe it.

Its been awhile

Ok, yeah, its been ages since I wrote. Lots of things have happened, and so far it seems to be for the good.

DH and I have decided to work things out. You read that right. After all of my bitching, ranting, raving, yelling, crying, cussing, stomping, and even leaving for a month, we've decided to work on things. I came back here to the farm to await word on a job. We had time to have some good talks, and even a few yelling matches. But we got it all out, and have decided to start fresh.

I know I've neglected many of my readers (I say that as if I have a plethera) and for that I apologize....wait, no I don't. I was taking care of me, something I haven't done in a long time. I'm not sorry about that.

So now, I have 2 goats, 3 rabbits, 4 chickens, and in June I'll have a new puppy. He'll be a brindle Mastiff and his name is Emmett (after the awsomely strong yet sweet vamp in Twilight). I'm currently tending a 6,000 square foot garden, and am looking for more farm animals. We have plans for building a root cellar, re-doing the kitchen and downstairs bath to make room for a wood burning stove. We found one that will be able to heat the entire house (its 2,500 sq. ft) so thats a good thing. I'd like to learn to spin wool to sell, and have plans to take loads of garden stuff to Farmer's Market.

So there it is in a nutshell. I'm currently working (slowly) on a quilt using blue jeans that no longer fit us anymore. The ones we don't use or cut up will be donated to the Salvation Army.

Thats all I've got for the moment.
