    Arkansas Ozarks here Zone 6b. Woke up to 39° this morning, only 9:30am and it’s just 48°.

    I’m itching to plant tomatoes and peppers but holding off till May 5th. I remember 2017 May 3 rd we got snow.

    DREAM HOME!!!

    Wow… presently we live on 1.2 acres, rural little town in Northern Arkansas. Would love to have 10+ acres. I drew up plans years ago using a 40 x 80 Pole Barn. Self sufficient. Half for living, half for garage, workshop, and storage. but I guess a pipe dream. At 65 yrs don’t see it happening unless we win lottery…lol

    But if wanting to have ideas, look up European old farm houses. They have lasted years for a reason.

    Prayers and Blessings sent, hope your dreams come true

    Howdy y’all Love this group. Love the inspirational stories. I’m married, hubby and I both 65 and disabled. I’m kind of a late bloomer to prepping but think I am managing well enough. between my walker and cane I think I do very well. Grew up lil ole country gal in Tx. had to spread my wings now back to living peaceful country life again.

    If I want anything I do it myself. thankfully our son lives with us and is a huge help for me. I wanted chickens he helped me make a chicken coop. I want to get a greenhouse built and get a garden in next year. Can’t believe my husband and him are actually excited to see what we can come up with. Our son is so awesome, great hunter, fills our freezer every year. I’m old fashion my Nana taught me how to can and preserve food, and I never forgot it. Pork, Beef, Chicken, and Venison. But I am learning alot still, never too old to learn.

    For those that feel overwhelmed, stop breath, and give it over to the Father, God is listening and will show the way if you stop, be still and listen. Talk to him as your talking to a friend, not all those prayers with meaningless words. Your words, Your Heart, Your thoughts. You are never truly alone for the Father and Son are with you. While you are working , resting, they are with you. Talk to the Father as your Father. If you have no control over things, ask for him to take those burdens. Remember YOU ARE GOD’S CHILD!
