Thank you all for such a warm welcome.

I'll let you know how the strawberry jam turns out. It's my first time to can, but I have so many small jars and the berries are on sale this week.

We suffered quite a cold spell for about two weeks, but the temps are back in the 40-60 range.

After the berries, I'm going to try my hand at my favorite fruit, which is granny smith apples. My son wants me to learn to can so he doesn't have to cook anymore. ha ha, not much of a survivalist, but I wasn't either two years ago, so there is always a beginning.

Here in hurricane country the wise know how to prepare for 1-2 wks of no electricity, which means no gas pumps, atm's etc., but other than that, planning for a full blown disaster, I'm just now learning.

Looking forward to gaining as much knowledge as possible.

Thanks again for such a warm welcome!

Hi Ladybug 60, My friend. So good to see you here. You will find that these gals are not wimps but real survivalists and serious preppers. Pioneers if you would like to call them that. I have been impressed with the depth of their knowledge and intensity of preparing for their families needs. LOL, they would fit right into our little gathering clan's activities and be able to teach us lots of things.

Babbling on-- ramble around the site. Lots and lots to glean but don't just be a lurker-jump right in. See you on the cyber waves till April--yahoo.

How do you like my avatar? Thinking of you.

Thank you, thank you. Looking forward to being part of this community.

Going to make strawberry jam this weekend and can it.

The strawberries are cheap right now, and most of them made it through the cold snap down in Tampa, FL.

Welcome... any friend of our friends is another friend!!

 

 

 

 

Seriously, if you have any questions or want to find something specific, just ask! We love to help!

 

Thank you for the greeting.!

Hi "60", glad to see you on "this side of the hedge". These ladies will wear you out with their boundless knowledge of and about things. They just do not know how to cook chittlins properly-LOL, wc

Thank you for the welcome! Can't wait to gain some knowledge, specifically

in canning apples. I have all the equipment, jars, lids, canner, etc. except the

drive to actually sit down and do it. After I master that, I want to try my hand at canning

spaghetti meat sauce.

My son wants me to learn how to can so he doesn't have to cook anymore. (LOL)

I was introduced to the site tonight by a good friend. I'm looking forward to

gaining knowledge from others who are more educated in homesteading, food prep,

canning, gardening, and sewing than I am.

I'm excited about being here, and want to say hello to all.
