We are house hunting. Our eventual plans were to move closer to fil & mil which is the Hardy area in north central Arkansas. Since mil’s death hubby really wants to be closer - thus the house hunting.

The one the other will absorb,

The brain is just the weight of God,

  For, lift them, pound for pound,

And they will differ, […]

Remember those old Organic Gardening magazines & books? or the old Mother Earth News? The ones back in the day when the focus was growing your own food as healthily and cheaply as possible. The days when people were capable of using what was on hand to get where they needed to go. NOT the […]

Musings on farm stuff

Ever have a day (or late night) when you mind just wanders around a problem and answers to questions you never knew you had appear? Well this is what a wandering mind on the internet can find. I have no idea how it all started either, but it was reasonable at the time.
