So it started raining last night. Thunderstorms came in heavy, and the thunder woke me up from time to time. Now that it's daytime, it's still storming on and off. And from the looks of it, this will continue throughout the week because Hurricane Alex is approaching. My first hurricane on my own...I hope I don't have to evacuate!
Yesterday was a really good day. B came over and we cooked baby back ribs and corn on the cob...mmm! It was so good. I showed him my Crops in Pots and The Backyard Homestead books, and he seemed really interested. I think if we ever have land he'd have no problem getting down and dirty helping me maintain plants and animals.
Speaking of crops, today I watched another documentary, The World According to Monsanto. This one really takes a look at how Monsanto is manipulating and controlling the national and global food and crop industry. A real eye opener, for sure. It's just amazing the lies and underhanded practices they get away with. It makes me sad that corporate greed is so powerful.
I think I may see what food plants are available at the store, and try my hand at gardening. In fact, yes, I think that's what I'll do today. So until next time...
