Nebraska

On forced vacation in Nebraska. ;}

This weekend is the Homestead Days celebration. The parade started at 9 till after 11. The longest parade ever, only one unique item was of real interest. The 1st ever RV.

Victory Garden

Update, my garden was trashed by hail! Life has not been kind to me this year.

Now that I am unemployed I have more time to grow a real garden.

In it will be my usual flowers

Rhubarb, Raspberries, Apples, and Strawberries

Cilantro, Chives

added this year

tomatoes, green beans, peas, spinach, radishes, onions, squash, & cucumbers

all jammed together in the pictured garden-on the right is a compost bin and a rain barrel.

In an other location next to a shed will be potatoes and zucchini.

This should keep me busy for awhile. Lucky for me I grew up in Montana (a good place to be poor) where my mother taught me how to grow a garden and 'can'. I will being doing a lot of that in the fall. I learned how to live well on a very small budget. Won't be much but will save a bit on groceries later.

Joined the ranks of the unemployed

As of last Thursday afternoon I no longer have a job nor career. Bummer

The weather today reflects my mood, I was doing fine when the weather was nice, but now its cloudy and cold and so am I.
