Limited Space Back Yard

Whether you live in an old neighborhood that has become crowded with people dividing their lots to put in more homes or a newly constructed neighborhood built with cookie cutter homes on postage stamp lots, you can still put in a garden within that limited space.

Oswald? Bugs? Never heard of 'em, sorry.

Here's my other character, Bailey! :D

She was introduced circa 1942 to help promote victory gardens in a way that would be easy to understand for children! She's a spitfire carrot farmer who loves to go on wacky adventures with the big three!

❝ Don't call me when you're lonely, I won't call you right back Beg me when you're broken, knowing I won't fight back 'Cause when you say you love me, you don't mean it like that I sacrifice my heart for this Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I make it obvious? ❞

-- OBVIOUS (fordo)

singing THE breakup song on your discography at an audition for a stupid popular show and THEN singing it to said ex in the audience is crazy work. good thing that rio's just on the other side of normal (definitely). totally a survivor of the teenage codependent relationship.

We Were All Preppers

When I saw the above photograph and the quote that came with it, I knew that I had to write about this. I have followed the prepping ideology for many years and I often see how commercialized the movement has become. podcasts, videos, blogs, and books all seem to try to scare us into believing that SHTF could happen at any moment and that we need to hurry and purchase what they have to sell…
