I’ve been afflicted by writer’s block lately. The news seems to be about the same as it has been over the past year. The government and the Wall Street parasites are jaw-boning a recovery. The huge collection of government critics keeps debunking the federal propaganda. Meanwhile, things continue to go from bad to worse for many people.
On the positive side, it was a great year for fruit here in central Oklahoma. My pantry is loaded with jars f peach jam and pear butter, and the freezer is full of tomatoes and hot peppers and cooked squash, not to mention beef, chicken, pork, and buffalo, all from our own gardens or within a hundred miles or so of Oklahoma City. The backup batteries are charged and the inverter is on the shelf. I need to fill the propane tanks, and finish the wood pile, but it looks like we ae about ready for winter. I am still working on following my own advice — 20 resilient responses for troubled times – and I hope others are doing likewise.
