Taking A Break

You've probably noticed less posts lately. I'm taking a break. Still reading other blogs, still doing a little bit on my herb blog, but for this "regular, daily stuff" blog I'm in need of some time off.

I don't want to do the negative, the political, the links to videos, etc. anymore. That's not what I want this blog to be. I've quit forwarding that stuff on email too. It's all so overwhelming. This coming election is likely the most important in our lives. I just hope and pray there IS a real election. One month from today, we shall see. And breathe a long sigh of collective relief, hopefully.

The kids and I are very busy with homeschooling and pursuing our interests. We're doing fine.

See ya!

I totally agree with you. I'm going into hibernation mode this month, focusing on homeschooling my two kids, putting up some applesauce and apple butter, enjoying the beauty of fall and the return of the winter birds. Enjoy your time off--I will miss your posts but am glad for you that you're stepping back from all of it. Sanity is best.

Hey, congrats on the publishing - I'll be over to read it. I know the need to step back a little - though I'll be looking forward to your return to writing. Take care!

I understand the break. I think the election is draining on a lot of people. Another homesteader has told me that at this point, all we can do is hope and pray that people are smart enough, but there is little we do this close.
Namaste,
Devin

Thanks, Lisa! I think time for inward focus and energy re-direction is a great thing for everyone on occasion. Kudos for being such a good role model!

I will miss your writing, I check in with your blog frequently. I understand the need to do one less thing. I also will be checking out your article. That is pretty cool. Take care, Kristin

I'm waiting for the "harvesting the tire potato's" blog. Taking a break from the most important election in recent U.S. history I understand. But not reporting on the result of the potato tire crop? Come on Lisa! Drink a Red Bull and get to work!

Hey JavaJohn, I'm on vacation! Literally, in Virginia this week...visiting relatives. Gimme a break! ;-)

The potatoes are still in the tires. If you want, go on into our backyard and sneak a few for yourself...We'll have to wait now till next week when we're home. The apple butter got made and canned, the sauerkraut is fermenting in the crock, the tomatoes got pulled out and are being stored in the garage still on the vines, but we just couldn't get to the potatoes yet. Sorry.

The 7 Areas for Reduction

Today I want to write just a snippet on each of the 7 areas where we're reducing our consumption. See the Riot for Austerity page to learn more. 1. Electricity. No major sacrifices. We're still watching TV a little and I'm online way too much trying to keep up with this group (my latest obsession), but we're now turning both off at the power strip when they're not in use, instead of just at night when we go to bed. Also, many more appliances are getting unplugged when not in use. 2. Heating and Cooking Energy. We are using the a/c today due to temps in the 90s and very high humidity. That is my general rule for a/c use and always has been-it has to be over 90 degrees F. and humid. Tonight when the predicted cold front passes through we'll turn it off for at least the next week of predicted 80s. 3. Gasoline. I'm biking the 2.5 miles to work every time I work, Monday, Wednesday, Friday. George is biking the 3 miles to the health club for his aerobic w...

America a Military Police State--Now Obvious to Minnesotans

From my friend Devin's blog, The Quince Urban Homestead . They and others in the Twin Cities are much more aware of what's going on down there than we are an hour north. News reports are incomplete and, of course, skewed to the "need for order" and fear tactics. Of course we don't want violence, but come on! Has it come to this? This could be my family! Or anyone's family, simply doing their thing...Read on...(emphases are mine) Some links first: Youtube Video Twin Cities Daily Planet news with photo Flickr photos Happenings at the RNC here in St.Paul Minnesota. POLICE SEIZE PERMIBUS At approximately 6:25 pm on August 30, 2008 Minneapolis Police, Minnesota State Troopers, Ramsey County Sheriffs, Saint Paul Police, and University of Minnesota Police pulled over the Earth Activist Training Permaculture Demonstration Bus (Permibus) by exit 237 on Interstate 94. Initially the police told the people on the bus to exit. When the people on the bus asked if they wer...
