Homestead updates,fat to fit, making my own medicines

Morning love lights!
I started off the day w a nice walk UNTIL-Puffer the heart healer decided to roll in some deer poo. Yup-did a real number on his collar- so we ended up our hike early and came on home to clean him up- he was not a happy boy as Momma was pretty POed at him- he had to ride in the far back of the jeep and then once he got cleaned up he had to stay downstairs to dry as I put his collar in the wash-PEEUHHHHHH....He is now lying on my feet as I write but still pretty humble ya know!

This is a busy time of food production-happily lots to put by for the Winter. That is what my family always said-not prepping-just putting thing back for the Winter.I have the dehydrator loaded with Summer fruits-cantaloupe,watermelon,cherries, blueberries and even some really good strawberries.
These will be healthy snacks for the Winter -IF I can keep Charlie  from eating them up- we have a big bowl of fresh peaches and plums, a watermelon,cantaloupe, cherries and nectarines -and he wants to snack on the mangoes I dehydrated-I am like- "get your hands outta that bag"- eat fresh fruit NOW- cause later it won't be there...

I am making my Mammys recipe for cough syrups-sorry I can't share it-it is her old recipe and I am just honored she shared it w me! Mammy is 93 and knows more about plants and  healing than anyone I have ever seen- she is a VERY devout Christian lady with such skills she has been accused of being a witch more times than once- (actually I would say she IS a natural witch ) and her maiden name was Craft-lol..she uses the old words for plants -like a hydrangia she calls a High Geranium- but she makes the BEST tonics! When you make the cough syrups as they sit from year to year they get better and stronger! I barely got them made before Charlie wants to start putting spoonfuls in his hot tea-I am like-DUDE=please give it a few months to brew first!

Lest I sound like I am being hard on Charlie or he is being greedy-this is his 1st year experiencing the self sufficiency,homesteading life- and he is excited to try the things I am making-it is DANG yummy- but we are putting by for later.. and gorging ourselves now is JUST NOT HOW TO GET AHEAD!!

So it is a learning curve!

The projects I have for this week are- starting elderberry tonic- and if I find enough elderberries I will make jam and  if more- start some wine!

I found a really loaded apple tree on an abanoned lot so gonna pick some apples to dry-and maybe make some applesauce!

Gonna find a good recipe and wake watermelon rind pickles -you can  make wine from that too - if we buy a few watermelons extra to dry-besides the 1 a week we are just snacking on-I should have enough to make some wine! FUN!

I got 3 large jars of saurkraut going- plan to start some every 2 weeks-I am not gonna can that but eat it as a raw food tonic daily for tummy health ! It stores for a nice long time in a cool dark space -but since we will be eating it as a super food health tonic-raw -each day we won't worry about long term storage..

I am gonna start learning to make raw milk yoghurt too for the same reasons once we move! What I mean -is delicious food-full of beneficial bacteria I make myself setting positive intentions for not only healing-but STAYING healthy!

Now that we have fenced in the back yard better deer are no longer bothering our tomatoes and we are seeing a ton of green ones coming on! Yeah!

I am thinking with preppin beans and rice-I just LOVE chow chow and picalilly-so am gonna make some green tomatio pickles and chow chow-great in a side dish w beans-love them and it'll proved extra vitamins !!

Oh my gorsh-this weekend I had an intuitive message--"go buy what you need to make a years worth of bread"-I went to the store to buy what I needed and I can't believe the price spikes have started already on wheat and corn products -I hear and I feel that by this Fall wheat and corn products will go through the roof price wise as a result of this drought!

We are starting to make our own breads -as w his "eat to heal Prostate cancer" diet- he is allowed good hearty organic breads- and they are expensive.. so I will make them myself at about 50 cents a loaf (non organic bread would be maybe 30 cent a loaf)  including utiities!

I will be scheduling our new blogtalk radio show-New Earth Prophet starting this Thurs for just an hour at 1 pm- we are gonna do Mon to Fri shows -the 1st 5 shows  just an hour-then thereafter the regular 2 hour weekday shows -1 to 3 pm Mon to Fri-I will post the link tomorrow!!!

Charlie and I will be doing this together-he is a Christian Mystic, Mr Conspiracy theory and Mr Security- and also as a builder developer- into building holistically healthy homes and also taking Krav Maga and self defense-he has turned his health around by eating oganically and taking herbs and also by being physically fit- and he has ALOT to say about FOOD and the way we are being systematically poisoned!! He will also be building and doing projects around the homestead  and will be sharing that along with his own intutive readings-he is quite good!

I am an Appalachian Folk Medicine Practitioner- or what is called a Granny Woman-I am really unaffiliated religiously-I DO love me some Jesus and Mother Mary- so lean toward the OLD original teachings of Jesus vs religion-so spiritual not religious -LOVE muffin?? Really more a Oneness type after my Near Death Experience .I am gonna be sending out distance healing ,doing readings and  channeled messages from the Angels-along with homesteading updates and news ,frugal living tips,holistically healthy living,herbalism, invites to my group healing gatherings, homeschooling ,organic housekeeping tips and more - we will really focus on practical living of a mystical ,spirit led/spirit fed lifestyle!..not only will we be doing this through blogtalk radio but also a You Tube show of the same name-New Earth Prophet-the name coming from a channeled angelic message to name all our work "New Earth Prophet"- really think about Harry Potters "Daily Prophet" so it is a sort of metaphysical homesteading,self sufficiency news show...

Alright love lights gotta get cracking on the day! Lots to do here on the homestead! Right now jut a little city lot-come this Fall- we bug out to the country!! Woo hoo!!
