Pacing Myself on These Hot Days

Pacing myself on these hot days.
When temps are over 100 degrees
with the humidity and heat index
it can be a bit unbearable outside.

How’s weather where you are?
Have any of you been affected
by Beryl? If so how are you doing?
I have friends in Texas that just got
their power back on but too many
haven’t and they have constant high
temps. Praying for their well being.

I’ve moved all my plants to the outdoor
building. I’m still organizing things but
getting there with this heat. The picture
above looks a bit cluttered because it
is until I get some organization going.
I have several fans going to circulate the
air and everything is fairing much better
than inside in spite of the outrageous
humidity.

I still have more planting to do as I am
able.
I did get a dill plant and rhubarb plant
from the Farm store I get my chicken
supplies from. I paid a whole $1.50 since
they are clearing out what’s left. I have dill
planted but figured why not have one
already going and healthy.
The rhubarb plants I planted a few years
ago outdoors are not doing well but
most things don’t grow well anymore
in the stripped soil. Of course with all
the rain we’ve had the grass has no
problem growing into a forest that’s
hard to keep up with.
I would love a food forest but not
going to happen out there.

I’m filtering and storing water
continually. The city water source
has chloramine in it that can harm,
people, pets and kill plants so
therefore unless I use my Boogie
water filter on the hose and
I use only filtered water on all
my plants in the outdoor building
I’m thankful my Berkey filters
out the Chloramine as well.

Awhile back someone shared with me
Paul Martin’s Blog
I’m finding it a valuable resources.
Paul has a vast amount of experience
and wrote a few books. He has a lot
to lend to preparedness.

I’m currently reading and implementing
his ‘The Ready Citizen Manual‘ in pdf form.
There is a lot of information to help someone
new or just starting in preparedness as well
as for those of us doing this for awhile.
He covers things like the amount of calories
and protein a person needs daily and various
foods with their calories and protein.
Honestly I had no idea pasta has so much
in the way of calories and additional protein.
I’ve grown pretty tired of pasta but learning
different ways to make cold salads, etc.
I get pastas a lot from the food pantry and
have a lot stored in mylar bags as well.
Paul also covers water purification, water
storage and having some cash on hand if
grid goes down and stores don’t take any-
thing but cash.
Somethings I hope in time he updates
but I can work with the changes we
live with now and make adjustments.
He no longer suggests the Berkey
since the issues with it and sad he
doesn’t address we can clean our
filters.
I hope to email him about that in the
near future so when he makes updates.
Paul has tons of information and
encourages getting ready and preparing
now not tomorrow. I like that.
I encourage you to spend some time
with the blog and go back to it often.

I’m not going to reiterate too much on
the assassination attempt on Trump
yesterday but it’s important to acknowledge
what happened and be forward thinking.
If you watch alternative news or even regular
news you know what happened. It’s just
the view one side or the other gives.
I had to laugh when one side said Trump
stumbled after hearing loud bangs
and secret service had to help him.
No mention of shots fired.

I cried when I heard what happened.
The hatred in this country fed by the left,
media and others just keeps growing.
Hatred that causes someone to attempt
to shoot Trump, injure and kill others.

I salute Cory the former fire chief, sitting
near Trump who threw himself on his wife
and daughter and took a bullet that took his life.
He’s the kind of man this country needs
and a hero vs. those who promote evil
and hatred, inciting mentally unstable
and psychopaths to do evil acts. And
those who blindly follow and believe
the lies.

Now speculation continues why secret
service didn’t neutralize shooter sooner,etc.
I’ll leave you to look at true alternate news.
Please stay away from left run media and lies!
That is if you truly are awake and want the truth.

We have to do all we can to reflect the opposite of
hatred.

I’m not into promoting negativity but do believe
more chaos may be coming and we need to be
situationally aware, stay out of groups of folks
if and when possible.
Keep honing your self sufficiency in a major
way and be as prepared as possible no matter
what.

United We Stand and We must Pray for Trump,
our country, neighbors our families, etc.
I don’t care what party your affiliated with.
Just do your part to be kind and respectful
to others minus hatefulness.
The answers don’t lie in a political party.
Jesus didn’t promote politics or mix
Christianity with politics. He addressed
Truth and acted accordingly without hatred.
