Hardly. For some reason, we are in major cleanup mode. Had help securing the chicken yard yesterday. There was a hole they were getting out of and major tunnels under the yard. We’ve moved away the lumber and should see fewer vermin.
The bird areas have had a major cleaning. I do feel the effects of the extra bird dust in the air, but it will improve air quality during the winter. I need another major food shop (or two) and we will be in decent shape for the colder weather. I am looking forward to home baked bread and soup. I think I am going to get an electric grain mill. I have the Corona to fall back on. I have the grain grinder attachment for the KitchenAid but it’s terribly slow. And, while we need to go Paleo to lose weight, you can’t stock up and eat Paleo. There are just too many crazy things going on in the world to expect the grocery stores to always be stocked. I’ve seen what the Camas Safeway looks like when they predict snow! And food is not getting cheaper. I am thinking about buying some veggies to put up for storage. I haven’t tried to keep potatoes, carrots, apples and other crops stored. The big issue is finding a good location. If I want to grow more of my own food, I have to figure out how to make it last.
