With the severe drought conditions we have been having here in the SouthEast, it is pleasant to wake up to (and sleep to) the sound of rain. Around an inch is expected today and 1/2 inch could have fallen last night.
Everybody I talk to is worried about rising prices on everything. Six years ago a particular brand of bread was $0.79. Today is is $2.74. Now, I know six years is a long time, but almost $2 is a big increase, especially since it has happened in the last two years. I used to spend $50 a week on groceries, I now spend $100 a week and we barely have enough to eat. Breakfast and lunch are covered good, but supper is skimpy at best. This just cements our decision to find a rural place where we can keep enough chickens and maybe raise a cow and/or goat. If it wasn't for my faith, I would be in the depths of dispair.
I made the cutest seed packets yesterday for trading seeds. I found them on another blog, but I am waiting for permission to post that site.
My internet is down and the customer service department does NOT live up to its name. I suppose they think I can take a day off work to wait for a repairman to come from 8-5. Can they not be a little more specific? I wish I had another choice besides MediaCom for high speed internet. I would take it. Everytime it rains, we lose internet. I bet I have a million e-mails in my inbox.
Great Scott!
