I sure am happy to live in the country. While it requires hard work, I know it keeps me active and feeling younger than I am. If I didn't have the farm to take care of, I know I'd spend most of my time parted in my recliner and reading or watching TV. When I sit around I tend to eat a lot of snacks. Being on the run keeps my joints moving and working. Today I worked in my garden and am reclaiming parts of it to grow crops I discovered over the years that don't grow well in raised beds. So I am removing 16 beds and stacking the cinder blocks in stacks of 10 to use in later projects. Cinder blocks are not light so I get a good work out every week day. I also discovered I have to move the dirt from each bed to remove the baby chicken wire and ground cover under it. I thought it would take all summer but today I started and did two beds in a couple hours. Yes I also moved and stacked 10 cinder blocks and weeded 2 garden beds. Reducing down to 17 full beds and 2 small herb beds is making it so I can stay on top of the weeds as long as I tackle one or two of them every day I am working in the garden.
My husband has mentioned that the garden is a lot of work and maybe we should get rid of it. Then I remind him why I am willing to work this hard. #1 I enjoy working out in the garden each day. #2 With more and more food becoming GMO I need to have a food source I can trust that won't kill me. The last 8 years has been a learning experience for me. At first I was told I was allergic to wheat and soy. So I went gluten free. My family was not happy but everyone felt better once we were off wheat. A couple years in to this, I had a good friend who lives in California who is just as allergic as I am. Our throats swell shut and we turn blue and we both cover epi pens with us. Her husband took her on a business trip to Hungary. The pastries there are to die for and that was just what she decided to do. She went and selected the pastry she most wanted to eat and armed with her epi pen at the ready so began to eat it and was able to eat the whole thing with no reaction. She was amazed and after 24 hours with no reaction she cheerfully ate her way through her two weeks there. She finally found someone with good English skills who explained to her that eastern Europe has never allowed GMO foods into their countries. They are growing the same wheat, rye, barley, etc that their ancestors grew. So we both tried Non GMO wheat and low and behold we can both eat wonderful wheat bread again. I am grateful to learn the problem for me is GMO foods because now it is all GMO foods including rice and squash and all the other foods they are turning into GMO foods.
#3 If I wasn't gardening I would be quilting all day long. That fact alone made him happy for the garden. Our fixed income is already stretched so my buying more and more cotton fabric, batting and all the stuff I need to use quilting.
#4 I love being outside and seeing all the wild life we enjoy here. The beautiful birds, deer, turkey, coyotes, foxes, insects, snakes and spiders. I see them all the time but only because I am outside where I will notice them.
#5 While I am currently removing lots of cinder blocks, I am happy we made our raised beds out of cinder blocks. They are stacked two high and wonderful to sit on while I work in the beds.
The area I am clearing out is 52 feet by 40 feet. I will be growing sweet corn this year with winter squash, pumpkins and melons mixed in, all growing together. I will put in a sunflower border around it also.
Growing a garden also keeps my mind active and gives me time to think and ponder and plan things out.
My youngest daughter who got married and couple years ago is growing stuff in containers on her apartment balcony. I sure miss having her here as she used to work out in the garden with me and was great at it. I am glad she is putting her balcony to good use.
Well, I guess I have rambled enough for now. I recharge my batteries on Sunday. I attend church and then I deck out and write letters and catch up on stuff. Monday I am ready to do another week.
Life in the country is great!
Blessings,

Driving in Today's world
More and more accidents are happening this year. I was leaving Leavenworth headed back to the Platte City area on Hwy 92 when a car suddenly pulled out in front of me with less then a car length to go. I thankfully was only going around 40 MPH instead of 55 to 60 MPH so when I T-Boned him no one was hurt, but both cars were very damaged. I thankfully was able to get home in my car. The guy that pulled out in front of me got a ticket and had to pay for the repairs.
Then a couple weeks ago two dear friends were headed to Stewartsville and then on to St Joseph when a semi truck driver struck them from behind and they were both killed.
So you need to learn to drive defensively. Scan the road before you back and forth and check your side mirrors and rear view mirror very often. It's not only important to drive carefully but you also need to be aware of everything around you.
When you are feeling tired while driving you need to take a break and walk around and revive yourself.
You may not always be able to stop an accident but if you are vigilant and always know what is going on around you but you should be able to improve what might happen.
So wake up and open your eyes and pay attention to what is going on around you. I hope this helps you survive all that's been going on lately.

Getting headaches to go away
I've been trying out herbal cures and found out if you take magnesium each night as you go to bed it helps you sleep better and it also stops headaches from happening. Since I started this I haven't had a single headache or migraine. Now you have to use some common sense also and make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. Getting dehydrated just invites headaches and other things. So make sure you drink plenty of water and fluids throughout the day and take your magnesium each night and see if your headaches go away.
Happy Easter
The way I clean now I don't bother Spring cleaning but with all the company I have coming in for this weekend I am going room to room this week and deep cleaning and making sure I get the ceiling creepy's cleaned off too. I am spraying as this is the time of the year all the creep crawlers come out ready for Spring. So far I have about half the house done. Today I've done the utility room and will do most of the basement and the home theater. Tomorrow I'll do the kitchen and dining room and Friday I finish up with the bathrooms and the King and Queen bedrooms. I've been doing food prep as I've been able. Bread was made and frozen and egg noodles made and dried and packed away. Now I can get other things made up and set aside and by Easter it will be easy to finish up.
Here is our Easter 2016 menu:
Easter
Dinner Menu
Ham
Beefy
Noodles
Assorted
Rolls
Asparagus
Cashew Rice Pilaf
Creamy
Brussels Sprouts
Twice
Baked Potatoes
Easter
Peeps
Orange
Jello Salad
Ambrosia
Classic
Waldorf Salad
Key
Lime Pie
Chocolate
Cheesecake
Punch
Ice
water
I always do two meat dishes so everyone is happy. I made the twice baked potatoes up a few weeks ago with cream cheese added to them. Any time you want to freeze potatoes you must add cream cheese to them or you end up with a soggy mess when they are reheated. I made them the way I normally do but added in a block of cream cheese too. Who doesn't love cream cheese! I froze them over night and then bagged them into freezer bags. All ready for Easter. Friday I will make the jello salad and Ambrosia. Saturday I will make the desserts and Then on Easter I just need to toss the beef cubes into the crock pot and the ham into the roaster and make up the veggies the hour before. I have lots of help so not worried about anything.
I totally forgot about those Easter peeps! If you have farm fresh eggs making Deviled eggs is like Mission Impossible! If you steam your eggs for 22 minutes and then put them into ice water you can peel them. I took a safe course by buying a dozen store bought eggs last week but tried this today and it really worked! So if you have your own fresh eggs fear not but you really need to steam them in a pan with a tight fitting lid. A colander raised up with water under it works very well. Just make sure you have enough water so it doesn't boil dry but doesn't soak the eggs.
Here is a video link to help make your Easter special: Hallelujah
Have a blessed holiday with your family!

Getting my house in order
Ok I have never once been accused of being a great homemaker. A good cook or good gardener or good quilter or great teacher but well my house has always been a mess. I could even leave the dishes unwashed for a few days until we were completely out of everything and I had to take matters in hand.
A few years ago I found Sheri Graham's web site. She had several kids and home schooled and seemed to do all I did but she did it better. She was organized. I've tried ever plan that came down the pike but nothing ever took for me. Until I found This part in her web site:
http://sherigraham.com/homemaking/cleaning-calendar
She divided up her home into short 15 minute to half hour cleaning projects and through out the year everything gets clean. I worked with it and made many changes and this year I added in two cleaning sessions most days to get everything in my home upstairs and down thoroughly clean twice a year.
I don't bother doing a big spring clean any more. The way I am doing my sessions I can now be accused of being an awesome house cleaner. We put our home up for sell a couple months ago and both real estate agents commented that they had never seen a house so clean before. So I guess I have finally arrived.
I used Sherri's suggestions to start but then changed it to meet my own needs. I have 4 set in stone weekly chores: Monday I Dust, clean mop boards and vacuum. Mondays and Fridays I do the same thing upstairs and downstairs. Wednesdays I clean the Laundry room upstairs. Thursday I wipe down the cabinet fronts in the kitchen, scrub the counter tops completely and get the walls in between and then I mop really good. Friday's I clean each of the bathrooms, change the towels out, replace TP, and I take out the trash in the whole house. Tuesdays and Saturdays are my extra chore days. I do things like Clean high in each room, clean pictures, clean the book shelves, pull out furniture and clean well, clean ceiling fans, clean the candle holders throughout the house, clean light fixtures and knick knacks, clean out cabinets, and the list goes on.
This is the first year I have added in the basement just simply because until this year we could hardly get around down there. We finally got it cleaned out and got it carpeted and it looks really nice now. I am moving slowly but these couple of months have already made a big difference. I reorganized the big storeroom and each of the bedrooms down there. I am currently working on the exercise/tool room. 2 more days and it will be done and then I can start on that huge wall of books. I can't wait to clean those book shelves! The first time I cleaned the book shelves up stairs I was shocked at how dirty all the books were! It took a long time to clean them so I only got a shelf or two done each session. Now that they are clean and I do them twice a year I can do a whole section of books as all the need a a fast dusting or little wipe down. The books downstairs are a mess. I've been dusting them each week but I know its going to be a big chore to get them done but can't wait to clean and organize them all.
I have discovered over time that I do not need to wash the mop boards every week so my plan this year breaks each floor into zones so that all the mop boards get cleaned well once a month. The thing is I can do my short to the point chore each day without killing myself and while things might get a little cluttered, its a very clean house so no scrambling when someone comes to visit.
I stopped printing out her calendar pages this year. I am using a regular calendar like they give out at banks and other businesses. I can list my daily chores on it and keep it handy to mark off as I get done. Sherri has lots of other helps on her site so please go explore and see if you find anything that helps you!

Getting my ducks in a row
My life is changing. We have this empty nester thing working and we are retired now. I have discovered that I run out of energy a lot faster. I have discovered I really don't like cold weather any more. It makes my bones ache and I can't get warm. I find myself looking for ways to do things simpler. Right now I am pondering my garden. 35 raised beds is more than I can handle alone.
I used to get lots of help and now I know it wasn't lots of help but one helper who helped a lot. Oh how I miss my daughter that loved to garden with me! But she has flown the nest and gone into her own life. So now I have discovered I am alone in the garden. Those 35 beds got the better of me last year and it will happen again this year unless I come up with a plan.
I am thinking of removing the beds at the back of the garden and leaving a large open area. I can till it up and plant corn there along with those vining pumpkins, squash and melons mixed in. Maybe later today I can go out and look at it and see how I can redo my garden to make things easier for me to take care of.
I guess this mild winter has made it easier to think about gardening and being able to go out and actually look at the garden and think about it. Most years in February I wouldn't be able to see the beds at all until April or May. But this year any snow has long since melted and I can see very well. I also know in another week I might be able to start moving dirt and actually get rid of the beds if they have thawed out.
Now I need to ponder how many beds I really still need. Four beds are permanently planted, rhubarb, asparagus and mint/tarragon beds. I have also discovered I prefer bush beans over pole beans. I have friends who love pole beans and told me they were easier to pick. I found the opposite to be true for me anyway. I have discovered it takes a lot of peas to get what we need for each year. But they have to be planted early or they won't make it. My carrots leave much to be desired and I can buy heirloom carrots cheaper locally so its not worth my growing them. So I need to sit down with a clear mind and plan out my garden and what I really need from it.
So how is your garden plans going? Are you going through life changes and having to adjust too? Has your diet changed and you now find you are buried in things you used to run out of and now you run out of things you always had plenty of? What changes are you making this year?
Have a blessed day!

Checking in
Its been a while since I've posted mostly because things have been pretty insane here. We decided to try and sell our farm. Our basement was piled higher and deeper and we had our work cut out. We also finally got rural water which added to the insaneness. Our home is a quarter mile from the road and the ground was semi frozen and hard to trench. It was trenched right next to our driveway and what a mess we had! We had to bring in two loads of gravel just to be able to get in and out of here. When it got all connected we had no water pressure. Nothing was working right. We had waited 12 years for this and what a dissappointment! Christmas was a nightmare with people trying to take a shower and just getting drips to wash in. Yesterday we finally got it fixed. I went to the water office to let them know we still had no water pressure and see if they could suggest a new and hopefully better plumber. They went and got a new pressure regulator and showed me how to increase the pressure myself. They gave me the name and number of a plumber too just in case. I came home and tried what they told me to do and it worked perfectly! We now have awesome water pressure and all the faucets now work great.
Now for the really insane part we went through everything in the basement and donated tons of stuff to Good Will and other second hand places. Got our good stuff put away or repacked into more permanent containers in case we had to move quickly. We also got buried in bags of nonburnable stuff we had to haul to the kids places to dump in their dumpsters. That's another thing that didn't get taken care of until this week.
Two days after Christmas I departed with my daughter on a cross country trip. That meant I had to get all of Christmas put away the day after Christmas and all the food had to be dealt with. We took off early trying to beat a winter storm moving in and made it to west Kansas in time to by pass the mess. For some reason I saw that it was not going through Colorado so that is where we headed toward. We went to the Oz Museum in western Kansas and stopped that first night near the border. The next day we went to the Colorado dunes and then headed to Mesa Verda. We tried to see the cliffs but it was a 30 plus mile journey on very winding roads and about half way there we realized it would be pitch black before we got there so we turned around and headed back out. We had planned to stop in Santa fe New Mexico that night and my daughter was head strong about getting there. We made it but it was really getting late. Her surprise was we were spending the night with her twin sister who had spent Christmas In Utah. Nice surprise even if we didn't have much time together. We had breakfast and went to the San Miguel Church together and then stopped for hot chocolate before we parted ways. We Spend half a day in Santa Fe and then drive across New Mexico stopping at several Indian sites. The next day we headed to the Grand canyon. We came in a different way then we had ever done before and so I got to see things I had never seen before. Again we had a late night getting into Lake Powell area. The next day we stopped at a new national park area The Grand Staircase Escalante Monument. It was quite exciting to visit this area and a place I would love to go back and explore. We then headed north stopping in I think it was Zions. She stopped and wanted to go hiking. She got me to go places I never dreamed I'd go! We climbed down into a frozen creek bed and hiked all through the cliffs and canyons. We meet up with a herd of mountain goats. It was quite a hike. We ended up not getting near where we had planned to be. We ended up in Fillmore Utah that night and the hotel had a train set up overhead going through the lobby and room they serve breakfast in. The next day we finally got to Provo, Utah just in time for my daughter to move into her dorm. I went to a hotel very near her. The next day she had orientation and I had to be out of my hotel by 11 am. She thought she could pick me up at noon so I just waited in the lobby for her. We then went to the rest of her orientation together. Later we went out to eat and then went to temple square in Salt Lake City. We spend a few hours there going on tours and seeing all the Christmas lights. Did a little more shopping and I filled her gas tank one more time. She then dropped me off at the Amtrak station. My train was suppose to be there at 3AM but it arrived 2 hours late. I used to take the train from Neosho, Missouri to Kansas City when I was a kid and we took the train once from Kansas City to St. Louis with our boys but I have never taken Amtrak before. While it ended up running late and they had over booked it I still really enjoyed my 37 hour trip back home. It was very comfortable and very clean. I liked being able to get up and move around. They also had electric connections so I could keep my phone charged up. I would not hesitate to go by train again.
The day I got home a professional photographer came to take pictures of our home. I was scurrying around stashing things and trying to stay out of the way. I knew he was coming so left all my bags in the car. And until today its been really crazy taking care of one thing after another.
So if our farm sells we will probably move to SE Missouri. We don't really care if it sells or not as we really love where we are but its really more than we want to deal with at this stage of our life. Here is the listing if anyone wants to see it: http://benbond.kwrealty.com/listing/mlsid/108/propertyid/1971325/
Feel free to pass the link on to anyone you think might be interested. We are close to Jamesport, MO(Amish community) and Adam Ondi Ahman, Far West, Garden Grove and Mt. Pisgah (LDS historical sites) We are the midway point between Des Moines, Iowa and Kansas City.
So hopefully I will get back to posting more often. Now that things have settled back down.
Hope you all have a blessed new year and we all prosper in 2016!
