Country Living in a City Home: April 2014
http://countrylivinginacityhome.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Chickens in the City. Image courtesy of morguefile.com. If a small backyard flock of hens providing fresh, healthy eggs, meat and pest control, plus the sheer fun of watching and hearing chickens do their thing makes you think happy, why not do it? Just because you live in town doesn't mean you wouldn't like to have a chicken or two around the place! You should be able to find out if your area allows chickens by going to their web site or contacting the city offices. Keeping chic...

Country Living in a City Home: July 2014
http://countrylivinginacityhome.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Hurry, get the harvest in! And the rush is on. August means bushels of ripe tomatoes, summer squash overrunning the garden, gallons of cucumbers and peppers, and corn tasseling overnight. That is, if you're one of those gardeners who never fails! That's not me and that's probably not you. One crop or another fails now and then and we have to say, "Well, the tomatoes did well, anyway! Which way will it be? It's time to make the decisions and full speed ahead! Where to put the she...

Country Living in a City Home: June 2014
http://countrylivinginacityhome.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 27, 2014. It's an easy thing to pick purslane and add a few leaves to a salad, but if you want to take advantage to this free health booster, eat more than a few leaves now and then! Friday, June 13, 2014. Image courtesy of ZooFari. Possibly the most desirable and common of all edible weeds, purslane grows abundantly where the soil has been disturbed, as in a garden, and where water is sufficient, also in a garden. Which means, for the backyard forager, that you probably will never run out.

Country Living in a City Home: Back Yard Foraging
http://countrylivinginacityhome.blogspot.com/2014/06/back-yard-foraging.html
Friday, June 13, 2014. If you don't poison weeds in your back yard, you probably have a good source of food just for the taking. You don't have to plant it or water it or weed it or feed it because "weeds" grow in a habitat that suits them without interference from us. Of course, a little care without overdoing it will help produce more food. For instance, dandelions make dandelion "coffee". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe Now: Feed Icon.

Dodge & Weave: Latest project
http://dodgeandweave.blogspot.com/2015/08/latest-project.html
One woman's attempts to keep her family on an even keel financially in a time of rising prices and changing rules. Note: I do not accept compensation from or for any company or product mentioned here. Anything I mention is from my personal experience. Friday, August 7, 2015. The latest sewing project here at the Casa de Chaos has been a new pair of PJ shorts for me. I'd already dug through the fabric stash to find something appropriate, but didn't have a good pattern. And yowza! The costs of patterns now!

I have several more bags that I will try to sell at the second-hand book store. Midwest, United States.
