Emergency preparedness for any situation is a good thing in my book. I especially plan about how to keep our homestead going when we lose electricity.
When natural disaster hits & electricity is out, a solar oven can help keep your family fed. What is your emergency preparedness plan?

Our fellow Texans to the south of us on the Gulf Coast really took a lashing when hurricane Harvey came to shore. He powered to shore at 9:45 Friday evening as a monstrous Category 4 hurricane just northeast of Corpus Christi. It looks like Rockport, TX took a direct hit. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that his primary concern remains “dramatic flooding” as the storm treks slowly inland. Homes & business are completely destroyed, electricity is out for thousands. Many roads are impassible and damage is severe.
But Harvey doesn’t know you don’t mess with TEXAS. We’re all one big family and we’ll band together to get through it…
If you’d like to help show your love to those affected by Hurricane Harvey you can donate through the American Red Cross . At their site you can also find out where to give blood or volunteer.

The rain we’ve rec’d in July & August is rare in our part of NE Texas. But I’m catching as much as I can because we know those rain taps WILL turn off soon!

In our area of NE Texas it’s generally recommended not to plant the veggie garden until Easter or after – this is why! Hopefully this is the last frost of the season, I’ll be planting soon.
