As we are heading into the winter waves of covid, what's on your prep list and to-do list. Are you getting it done. Everyone is welcome to join in, what's your list, what did you accomplish?
Happy November everyone.

-Need to get the chicken water switched over to heated bowls
-Get the wind/snow fence up
-Mow more leaves and add to the garden spaces
-Keep preps topped off as long as things are good (weather and Covid risk)
-Thanksgiving will be this household only (my parents cancelled any get together with them....they are my only "outside the house" family) Took a family food poll, we are going "non traditional".
-Side of beef will be here in the next week or so....so what doesn't fit in the freezer will be canned

It's sunny but cold and windy today, with a freeze last night. The temperatures are moving up all week. This will be a good time to get all of the outdoor chores taken care of. * Throw out all of the annuals that froze in the pots on the porch and deck. Clean pots and put away. * Wash kitchen and bathroom rugs and hang outside to dry. * Put away outdoor Halloween decorations. * Rake leaves for compost pile, mulch the rest. * Hang winter comforter on line to air out before putting on the bed. Wash bed skirt and pillow shams. * Put away outdoor chair cushions and stack furniture on the porch, cover with tarp. * Spray paint plastic jugs black, fill them with water, and put in cold frame to help keep it warm overnight. Ohio Dreamer, We are on our way to a "non traditional" Thanksgiving, too. IF the weather is decent, we are going to DS#2's farm for a Pilgrim Thanksgiving. They have a huge firepit where the 7 of us can safely social distance and have a nice meal. If the weather doesn't cooperate, DH and I will more than likely have our meal at home. |

nbc3mom , weather is never "good enough" for an outdoor Thanksgiving here. Kids want a pork butt....smoked if possible. NO turkey  Found seed starting soil on clearance for half price....and it's organic I bought both bags. I think that is the last thing I need for next growing season. I'm sure we will find more "want to haves", but nothing that is a must. I'm hoping the soil and water districts do their sales this spring.....its such an economical way to pick up some things. Last year most of our local ones cancelled due to Covid.... Built a roost for my 10 week old chicks. They seem to like it.....but I think I need to make a second one. Not sure they can all fit on the one. I'll do it tomorrow....when it will be warmer so I can do it outside, instead of in the basement. BUT...what I thought would work does

If my memory serves me, chickens need one foot of roost space per bird. Also, wood roosts tend to encourage mites on your birds.

adinwnc, I did not know that about wood roosts. nbc3mom, I have five rugs in the bathroom (one in the toilet, one in front of each sink, one in front of the bath and one in front of the shower) I wash one each week and rotate them because the one near the door gets dirtiest. I'm really pleased with these cotton rugs. My prepping today is to work on saving my seeds I have drying all over. I just released marigold seeds from their bud and am going to make pretty envelopes from my old gardening cataloges to give in Christmas stockings. I give to all the grands and grand neices and grand nephews. I like it if I can see something growing in their yards I have given them.

Some things we have done lately:
DH fixed the hoophouse that collapsed from storms. He added sturdy support beams down the middle. I think we used to have them, but took them out to run the lawnmower through Bad Idea! I am now laying paper at the bottom and covering with grass clippings and leaves so that in the spring I will just have to pull back the paper to plant and the paper will keep the weeds down.
We finished the outdoor chicken run and I will add our name to the wood chip list for drop off. Also will be putting leaves in there once my gardens are covered. The soil has eroded and I want to build it up again.
We planted 14 (!) blackberry plants (thanks Feather!).
I'm clearing out (slowly) the area that I will set up my little greenhouse. I see some lettuce volunteer that I hope to pot and stick in the hoophouse. I want to spraypaint some milk jugs that I can fill with water and will hold in heat for the hoophouse and will anchor the hoophouse as well.
The volunteer potato and chinese brocolli and zuchini were victims of the hard frost. I was wondering if I was correctly telling the difference between the chinese brocolli and regular brocolli and now I know which are which, haha.

Well, I've made it to November, and thought a lot about you guys. I keep reading along and getting ideas of things to remember when I can get back to prepping.
I just haven't had a whole lot of good news, and I haven't been able to accomplish much, so there hasn't really been anything to post here. Just making plans for how to do more next time this season rolls around.
My foot is still very broken, and non-weight bearing. This is the direct cause of getting nothing done. The doc is holding out for healing trying to avoid surgery, but it's not looking very grand. Part of me thinks he is milking the work comp for every appointment and xray he can.
I'm glad this note finds most of you in good health and getting plenty accomplished. Keep it up! It makes me smile.

Lilith, DH's sister broke her foot shortly after your accident. The original doctor said to let it heal on its own in a walking boot although she's not supposed to bear weight on it either. The foot isn't healing properly. SIL went to an orthopedic doc who told her that while the bones were TRYING to heal, she will never have a serviceable foot as it is, will probably have issues, especially arthritis, the rest of her life. She's a good bit older than you, 67 or 68 in January. This ortho man is going in this Friday to rebreak what has knitted together incorrectly and use plates and screws to keep them in alignment. She's in for a long recuperation period. LONG recuperation. Do you have options for another doc who is serious about his Hippocratic Oath--first do not harm--rather than his bottom line?
Incidentally, HI!

lilith , Sounds like you current prep is working on your patience and delegating. I'm personally horrible at both of those! I'm counting down to Feb, not because anything good is happening....just that it will be post - inaugural so all this mess will be over. I am well aware that it is normal for it to take a week before an election is truly finalized. This election had huge turn outs....so give them a few extra days to count. BUT the whining about not having a "Media declared" winner is driving me nuts!!! Even my son is starting to get in on the whining.....I'm ready to throw him through the wall, lol (he's almost 22 and a good 8" bigger then me with good hips....I doubt I could do it....but thinking about it makes me feel better, lol) RANT OVER Scored some free coffee yesterday! DS works for a coffee and doughnut shop. They switch up some of their coffee blends every so often. New one came on the menu that they had last year. They got new bags on the truck, realized they still had a box in storage so grabbed those. DS saw it was "expired" and told manager. Asked DS if he wanted it, she knows he brings home used grounds for our garden all the time. HE said yes! That's the second time that has happened. It's is packaged in little mylar bags, maybe 10-12 cups worth in each bag. I moved them to buckets today, 1-3/4 5 gallon buckets full!! I brewed a bit, I like it. But if the SHTF they are already packaged in nice barter size packs I know how I am without my coffee....don't want me neighbors to run out, LOL Caulked up the chicken coop where the laying boxes were added. The rain gets in there and the straw starts to mold! Hubby said it was "tight enough" when he built it....it isn't. I need to figure out one more spot. The joint where the door opens. We have a drop down front....so no fighting gravity to hold it open when collecting....that seem needs some kind of flashing. I'll think of something.

HALLELUJAH! DH and I put the cover on the veggie hoop house today. Being our ages, we're trying to figure out how to have it without applying and removing every year and still avoid having the cover damaged by UV even though it's supposed to be protected. It's a simple Quonset style only 7' tall at the apex, 12'x24'. We're also considering how to raise it easily. DH is talking concrete blocks as a foundation but how he plans to attach the plastic doesn't sound that strong to me. We have the whole winter to research it and figure out a plan. I hope we can move well enough tomorrow (grin) to put the cover on the other frame where the chickens spend the winter. I still need to put shade cloth over it to keep the inside temps going too high before we get seasonal weather. It was 22o Monday morning, 76o today. Ah, Missouri!

That has to make winter more enjoyable! Feather, aside from growing food in it, just being in it on a sunny day is a blessing. I have SAD. The cover fabric is made in such a way that light is refracted so comes at me from all directions, actually feels brighter than being outdoors. Being able to shed my coat and have the warm sunlight strike my skin does wonders for me. I really enjoy that hoop house! I got both in trades with a woman down in town who decided she wanted something more elegant than this Quonset style then realized she didn't have enough flat space without hiring expensive dirt moving equipment. She still doesn't have a hoop house. I've had a number of people over the years ask to buy one or both or to have first right of refusal if I did decide to sell. I really don't see that happening as long as I can put one foot in front of the other. |

Another HALLELUJAH! We finished putting the other cover on the second hoop house about an hour ago. It will be a couple of days before we can move the chickens into it as their winter quarters. Their "summer" quarters are basically a hoop house built from 2 cattle panels but it's too small for the 9 hens and 1 roo that live in it plus it's not so snug as the regular hoop house. This second house has the same 12' x 24' area, 7' high apex, and we wintered some 25 chickens in it easily one year. Commercial laying hens should have so much space to be chickens!
Next big projects are putting composted manure on the gardens, fruit trees, and soft fruits, putting up the little wood sheds we got with the firewood from the auction a couple of weeks ago so we can stack the wood itself in them and finishing mowing the pastures to cut down on weed tree encroachment.

mogal, I really need one of those, or one that is moveable. I've given up trying to keep my brocolli and brussel sprouts alive. Yes I can cover, but what happens is that there will be a time when I can't and then it screws up the whole thing! My experiment of planting things next to the retaining wall has worked. All those pepper and zucchini and tomato plants were not destroyed by frost yet. mogal: I remember in another forum that people had a goal to open their door or go outside as soon as they woke up for a bit of time. Like have your coffee outside. The idea was that your eyes receiving that good light first thing set up your mood for the day. I kind of do that anyway by feeding the animals in the barn first thing, before breakfast, every morning. Movement and sunlight. Well, after Daylight savings time.

Midtnmama, I go outside as early as possible too. Sometimes I just do deep breathing for a few breaths then breathe normally for a couple of cycles as well as enjoy that early morning sun. The hoop houses just give me a greater exposure to sunshine.
For extra cold protection, I use #9 gauge wire that I get in a roll and cut to fit our beds. In winter I use floating row cover--numerous brand names out there--and in summer as an insect barrier I use nylon or tulle net. So far, so good.

This will be a good time to get all of the outdoor chores taken care of. * Throw out all of the annuals that froze in the pots on the porch and deck.

Wash bed skirt and pillow shams. * Put away outdoor chair cushions and stack furniture on the porch, cover with tarp. * Spray paint plastic jugs black, fill them with water, and put in cold frame to help keep it warm overnight. I finished this list today when I washed the mattress cover and summer bedding. They are all drying outside now. I have used my dryer 5 times since June; I always like to see how long I can continue hanging laundry outdoors. When my sons were babies we lived in a subdivision where I hung diapers out even when they froze solid. My neighbors thought I was weird. I thought I was frugal. The frost last week killed the rhubarb plants which meant it was time to divide them. When we got 7 starts from one plant so we decided not to split the other one in case the new starts and the old plant don't survive the winter. I also planted a pack of daffodil bulbs that I got for 90% at Walmart. We ordered a new storm door which should be here before December. Our old one is still solid but there are gaps between the frame and the door which let in cold air. We signed up for a Lowe's credit card that had 20% off for the first purchase; that was better than DH's Veteran's discount. Also his discount is not applicable on sale items but with the Lowe's card we get 5% -- every little bit helps. Every day our positive Covid numbers break the previous day's record. I went through my pantry/freezer/storage inventories and we stocked up on all needed food and supplies. When the weather gets back to normal, I'll have to create a to-do list of indoor chores. For now, I'm going back outside. |

Well, the crazy rednecks in Idaho did it again. Toilet paper was wiped out durring my monthly shopping trip. You would think they would have had plenty from the covid, but apparently the election has them wiping extra too.
Did the doctor thing yesterday and even I can see the healing on the x-rays. I'm glad I won't have to have surgery and that I have been drinking my milk because the bones are growing back together. They did put me on muscle relaxers and start me into non-weight bearing physical therapy along with chiropractic care. Apparently being in crutches for several months messes with your posture ... Duh. Kinda a hurting dog today, but all my bones are supposedly back where they are supposed to be. My foot was the worst!
As my calf has turned into what resembles the topless natives of the rainforest and my ligaments are shrinking from not moving. So, my toes are all curled up and have to be stretched out everyday. I should be walking again by Christmas, but will have to wear an orthopedic brace for the rest of my life. Better that than this stupid boot!
As for preps, I figured out that I am fully capable of ordering things online ... Like seeds! Hubby has explicit instructions on how I want my raised beds built and I've got big plans there. And now the seed to make it happen too.... Plus a nice stash in case of zombies - or inauguration day craziness, you know, just in case.
The herbs I put up last spring have come in so very handy! Especially the catnip and lavender! They took my daughter off one of her anxiety meds because it was hard to keep supplied and we have handled thoes episodes with tea instead of meds. What a great feeling!!! The three herbs I needed most this year (Mullien, lavender, and catnip) went crazy long before we knew Covid was going to challenge our lives. Every cup is confirmation that God and the earth provides! I'm grateful for feeling so strong spiritually right now as these are trying times and faith makes it easier to make it through.

Lilith, great to hear about the good progress you've made! I'm so proud for you.
DH's sister came through her surgery well. The doc said it wasn't as complicated as he thought it would be. She goes back tomorrow for x-rays and a cast.
I can't remember if I mentioned DH himself falling down the first few steps to our basement. His left leg went down straight but his right one bent at the knee back under him with his foot pointed away from the knee. Fortunately, he stopped his fall with the hand rail I insisted he install when we moved here nearly 24 years ago. This morning, I realized that it was loose so he'll have to fix it at some point. Anyway, his fall was 2 weeks ago this past Tuesday. We went to urgent care on Wednesday because his foot/ankle was so swollen. He'd already broken both the tibia and fibula close to the ankle back in '92 and still has the plate and pins. The doc there said the x-rays didn't show any breaks and that the plate/pins looked good, prescribed elevated rest and a "boot." He's doing the elevated rest but still does what he wants (sometimes what I need of him too) but without the boot. So, this afternoon at 4 he sees a foot/ankle specialist in Columbia. I opted not to go because we've got some really good pre-holiday sales for meats yesterday PLUS a 15% discount for veterans for his whole grocery order that I need to finish prepping for the freezer and canning. With his errand list, most of which doesn't involve or interest me, the trip is turning into a "testosterone tour" that would waste the time I can spend on my feet. A "testosterone tour" involves sporting goods stores and hardware stores. I don't mind going to either venue but not to just browse and drool over what's being sold, ya know?

That is how guys feel when women get sidetracked at a rack of clothes and we hear each and every hanger there go "screech" as every item gets individually examined..
Next town trip I need to take my tractor fuel containers.. I have the last of my warmer weather fuel portioned out in them to fill with winter blend diesel fuel... Last trip we stopped at the hardware, tool store to run an errand for MIL.. We do need to tap into the "Caribou Express" to see if anyone we know is making a trip up or down province. We need to send books and such to MIL.. Caribou Express system works well. People do small favors for one anther in exchange for a little fuel money, or a return favor..
Will have to pick up a newspaper on a regular basis now as holiday baking supplies sales should be starting.. Earlier, before Canadian Thanks Giving we scored flour and brown sugar.. After the holiday sale was a couple turkeys for the freezer. Won't be a big list of specials to look for as we have a lot of home canned things... Just incidental items to fill in around things we have on hand..

I don't wear anything that exposes my legs, hate skirts for the most part and that means that my wardrobe boils down to good blue jeans, not so good blue jeans, one outfit of camo hunting clothes and barn clothes. I used to do living history events so had some period dresses but that's no longer part of my life. I don't count those anymore. So, Mr. Tim, you're painting all the distaff side with the same brush. |

Me too ME TOO!!! Clothes shopping is punishment....I work hard at behaving so I don't get sentenced with it, LOL!! Men's shoes fit the feet....woman's shoes look pretty but hurt like heck!! I live in Jeans and T-shirts....did I mention they are men's jeans.....woman's have that stretchy stuff in them - hate it! I am trying to convert my "T-shirts only" to something more lady like. I have actually found a few tops at Goodwill, lately, that are comfy and don't look too bad. I have the shoulders of a linebacker in should pads....so getting a woman's blouse to fit isn't easy. Picked up our side of beef yesterday. Got dog bones boiled down (not to be confused with soup bones...those I haven't used, yet) Made enough broth to can 33 pint of meat chunks and 9 pints of broth. With a bit left over I used in the sloppy joes. Sloppy joes are in the canner now, meatballs are sitting on the counter "melding" before I brown them quick and can them. Yes, I've been up since 4 am working, lol Going to have a mom's meeting next week at my house. It's just 5 of us that homeschooled our kids together. Kids are grown up....but the mom's still get together for playdates, lol. I have mentally placed seating so we can all be distanced. One of us will stay in mask the entire time, she's a paramedic...and deals with Covid often. She's also the most OCD person I know about washing, lol, even before she was a paramedic! That gives me a few days to finish all this canning and clean up the house. I already made them promise not to take any of my dust bunnies home, they are pets and I'd miss them  |

Ohio Dreamer Dust bunnies as pets, that is priceless! Can add another vote against clothes shopping? I look like the underfed British parlor maid that my grandma was. Even women's tops fall off of my shoulders. I used to wear a AAAA (narrow) shoe, but thanks to flip flops during pregnancy, I now wear a very convenient medium width. I still have super high arches, so I only wear Reebok's or Clark's. Trying to find a steeltoed muck boots in a size 6.... Or leather gloves that fit and bend on my hands is not pleasant. I spent years as a dancer, so I don't wear dresses either. Too many cat calls and too much male attention when I do. Besides it's really hard to run from a dog in a short skirt and high heels, although I did climb a barbed wire fence in 5 inch platform shoes once.... On the prepping front, I ordered and picked up everything for our 2 person Thanksgiving celebration. We are having lasagna with spinach, green bean casserole, jello with mandarin oranges, biscuits and apple cobbler. I was afraid that people might get crazy right before the "food" holiday and buy out the store. Yesterday the HVAC guy did the annual cleaning on one of my mini-split heat pumps. He told us that there were now kits available so that we could clean them ourselves and save a ton of money. Yay! When we first got them, I watched several YouTube videos on how to clean them and decided I could pay someone else. Now the fancy professional cleaning solution is available online🙂 and you spray it on and let it drip dry through a plastic funnel into a bucket. Just in time for me to sell the house.... it figures...

Well, I guess I found my tribe. I hate to clothes shop, too. My covid attire now is jeans, long sleeved shirt under a short sleeved tshirt. If cold, I have a lightweight fashion scarf (from my working days) around my neck. Nothing matches.

Can we start a group for people that don't like clothes shopping? I only like online shopping somewhat, until I have what I need then I'm done.
I also like men's clothes because they are made better, with POCKETS. Anyone else try men's dockers for work pants, I loved those. The waistband holds its shape the pockets are useful, the fabric is thicker than women's.
Once I find something I like, the fabric, the seams, I usually get more than one because fashion goes out of fashion in a flash.
