"Self-sufficiency does not mean 'going back' to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living, for food that is organically grown and good, for the good life in pleasant surroundings... and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully." John Seymour ~ Self Sufficiency 2003
Continuing the introduction of new friends to old friends, please won't you join me in welcoming Sue from Northern Michigan.
Sue has two blogs - the first is a blog about life beyond gardening - a blog about stuff that keeps her awake - now that I can certainly relate to :). I loved her posting about peeling a whole head of garlic in 10 secs. And I love the photo's of the fall leaves and their stunning autumn colours! You live in a beautiful part of the world, Sue.
Her other blog is about her garden of raised beds (and recipes of what she is cooking from what she harvests) and her old stone cottage - oh, I'd love to see a pic of the outside of that cottage :) I also love those photo's of her pumpkins in all their different shapes and sizes - you can tell I'm a frustrated pumpkin grower, can't you LOL
Sue, I reply to all comments (even those placed on old postings), but given the size of this planet, and the different time zones, it may not be today by your time, but will certainly be by tomorrow. And, if I am on the farm it may take a little longer...LOL
Oh, aren't you the sweetest thing!
ReplyDeleteYou also forgot to mention I have absolutely NO manners whatsoever........WELCOME to MY blog!
I am sooooo looking forward to playing catch-up with your posts. Thanks for stopping by and also for the extremely warm welcome to yours. It's always fun to find friendly folks from all over the world.
:)
I visited Sue's blogs ..and was particularly interested in her winner/loser roundups for what did/didn't work and I had some issues with my new raised beds this year. Will try the fabric row covers next year at her recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteSue - LOL I reckon introducing old and new friends, who enjoy my blog, is only polite. And perhaps my old followers will be interested in your blog(s) too :)
ReplyDeleteMrs Mac - Cool - and I'm glad my introduction has helped you :)
