Pickling the last of the beets. 8 pints for the canner, and a ½ pint for the fridge. 🫙 We're gonna need a whole lot more in the fall garden.
Please pray for my little nephew, F. He was seriously injured just a bit ago.
We were in Chicago today, and I snapped this picture (that's *my* hand in the reflection) and this is just horrific. It's somehow worse that it looked on the proposals. They bulldozed great lake side real-estate for this giant eyesore.
🚨 JUST IN: The Trump admin has DE-REGULATED gas cans, per EPA Admin Lee Zeldin Gas cans have gotten so ridiculously complicated that there are literal TUTORIAL VIDEOS on how to use them. If you’ve ever used one, you know what I mean Old fashioned gas cans are now LEGAL again!
I’ll make the NEA a deal: when public schools provide the majority of students with a comprehensive education experience that results in 85% of non-special education students performing at or above grade level, we can have this conversation about homeschooling.
This is the lone jar that didn't seal the other day. When i put it in the fridge, I told the kids to let it sit a week so the beets could soak up the brine and fully pickle. It is ½ empty less than 72hrs later. 😑
Today we learn that while Hillary paid Steele to find, or at least fabricate, "derogatory" information on Trump, Putin actually possessed "remarkable derogatory" information on Hillary, such as "reports on Clinton's health", which he refused to release before the election
As much as I want to keep this a secret and increase my chances of winning, y'all really need to check this out. He deserves more eye balls, he's super talented. I've drooled over his work for a very long time.

Since when do the scotch-irish work more than the bare minimum? That's the joke. You can spot decendants of the scotch-Irish and the decendants of Germans by how well kept their yards and homes are.
I can always tell a scotch-irish American: "I wAnT eVeRyOnE wOrKiNg AlL tHe TiMe LiKe mE" No acknowledgment of the lack of opportunity to get ahead that disincentivizes actual work in this country. Always with the "be a working fool like me" What do you care what other people…
Lol. This whole comment thread is full of kids trying to out cool each other. Same attitude as acting above everything here to get the Euros to like you. Elitism is dumb, and if you're calling FtW "desolate," you've never even bothered to look at a picture of it. Low effort,…
I'm crying. There's nothing in Fort Worth for a 22 year old Japanese pop star so she's taking pics at a grocery bakery lmao
What in the ever-loving fever dream do these poor kids wake up to?
Losing it over this therapy horse that vigorously plays the piano to wake kids up from anesthesia
Did you know flowers can tell time? 🌼🕰️ In the 1700s, botanist Carl Linnaeus dreamed up a “flower clock” made of plants that open and close at specific hours of the day. 🌸💡 Imagine a garden where blooms unfold like clock hands—dandelions at 8 a.m., goat’s beard by noon, and…

At about 15, my oldest daughter gave an honest answer to a deacon at our church about her "college plans." She said she wasn't very interested in college, and she mostly wanted to prepare for being a wife and mother, and find something to pursue until then that wouldn't preclude…
I've been thinking hard about the "tradwife isn't real" debate and I've landed here: I want young women to feel ok saying their great aspiration in life it to be a wife and mother. I want my girls to feel ok if the big thing they want to do is get married and raise a family.
Ha. I was a SAHM when we made well below the poverty line. There is no luxury there. And no, we didn't have any govt help bc our needs were met. Wives staying home is far more a matter of priorities than economics.
Because they’re not real. Wives who don’t work have always existed and their decision not to work is driven by economic security not “traditional values”. It’s a luxury not a lifestyle.
I love this so much. That quarter for a cap is downright CHARMING.
Had to cut off and replace one rotten tang. Copper pipe cap ferrules, Osage orange handles, oak dye stain, custom end caps peened into place. Maybe I’ll have this out of my system for a bit.
I spent yesterday evening with the greatest architect in the world and he convinced me that I have been too gentle on the Metric system. I said it was evil and anti-human, but it's actually a heresy hateful to God and soul-destroying. I will explain this in my breakout session…
