I Love PERMACULTURE! I Love it so much because it is about Resolutions and Creating Bounty. Our weather here has been Wonderful which has me thinking about planting. So it's the fall back on what I know. So often I get excuses of I can't have a garden in town.. I don't have a thingy that digs up the ground... You Don't need a thingy (Tiller) to have a successful garden in town. There are several other options to do that are quick and easy
1. Quick Garden by Geoff Lawton
2. Straw Bale Gardening - He let the bales winter over before he used them for his gardening. Most of us haven't thought that far ahead. You can start it this year and you could ask a farmer/rancher if they have old Square Hay Bales they want to get rid of instead.
3. Forest Gardening -
If people realized working with the land and the area that was around them instead of trying to have it all conform them that they would have that much more success in gardening I'm convinced that there would be more gardens in every yard that produced food!

As we all know Excitement can be Positive and Of Course it can be Negative as well. When the negative ones come sometimes we naturally wonder why? I joke about how it wasn't planned for this week and if I were to plan it, it would never come into my schedule. The Actuality of it is that Negative Excitement/Lessons teach us alot about situations and ourselves if we allow it to. Just make a plan and watch while G-d and the Angels laugh, that was a moto of mine for a long time. Now I just say that if they need relief for the day they go to my channel and watch for a little while then they can go back to what they need to do. Laughing at yourself is healthy. I mean seriously if you took yourself serious all the time you would lose some very valuable points in your life that will help your foundation.
Today, as I sit here and laugh at that I was going to get all these fleeces listed this week. I could beat myself up about it but the thing is really, Life happens. Starting last Saturday I had gotten a nail in my sidewall of my tire. Concerned about the expense of getting a new tire on not even thinking about road hazard on the tires themselves.. I went to the neighbors and they aired up my tire and said you know, we could plug it. After several questions from me on how long the plug will last and what not, the plug was in and we were good to go. I didn't have to get a tire that day. Sunday past no flat tire. Monday Morning when we are heading out the door to the bus stop, the tire flat. Called the neighbor to see if they were home. They were and they were able to come over with their portable air compressor to air up the tire as my air tank had leaked out. Dropped of kids at school and to town I went. The dealership replaced the whole tire for me as I had forgotten about road hazard on the tires! Tuesday, flat tire afternoon, back to town, didn't find a whole. Wednesday, flat tire mid morning. I aired it up and wasn't going into town as I had things to get done that were not able to get done the other 2 days I had to be in town for several hours. Called dealership and told them I would be in the following day. Yesterday, tire flat, filled up and went into town. There is no whole in the tire or the stem. The whole was in the rim! Ordered a new rim and it shall be here sometime next week. I had to smile as Yes, it was annoying as all get out. Throughout the whole process the dealership was kind, considerate and patient. They were just as baffled as I was about the tire going flat. They figured it out and saved me a Good $500 for a rim by sending me to a place that can get them from anywhere in the US. What a Relief!
I learned a long time ago that if I have one thing after another come up, and believe me it has happened alot in my life. That the challenge is there to help you grow and think outside of the box. My question is what did I need to learn. In this particular case a few things. 1. I believe I want to find a full sized tire for a spare so that I have that. There is quite a bit of distance between us and the towns. 2. Always have a Plug and patch set in your vehicle and know how to use it. Chances are when you need to use it you will have NO SERVICE so watching a You Tube video to show you how to do it at that time Won't be happening. 3. Maintenance on your air tank is essential and not to be held off. I knew that my air tank leaked. I will be getting parts for it to get it working correctly so that it will not leak anymore. 4. Having a Grateful Heart always brings light to people instead of being grumpy. I knew this and I was glad that when I felt grumpy I made sure that when talking to the people that could be part of the solution I wasn't grumpy. I know they heard the frustration in my voice but they knew that it wasn't directed at them. 5. There is a time and a place for everything just not always on our scheduled time. Ranching/Farming is alot like that, if you expected for things to happen exactly as planned you would be consistently disappointed in the process and not notice the big significant changes that were happening amidst the discontent of it not following your exact schedule. You can have a lot of outward success but miss it if you focus on the negative.
This week was a successful week in so many ways. My page grew in likes, it reached more people this week all over the world hitting 11 different countries, it made people feel that they could communicate with me about questions or concerns which was Very Positive feedback for improvement and drum roll... I was able to connect a friend with a type of fleece that she wanted that was raised here in Montana and she will be getting this fleece after I pick it up, I have attentively sold the Targhee fleece I have pending delivery this next week and made more connections for other producers here in Montana for the world that awaits for Montana Made and Grown Products! The week before I was helping a producer look at their options for growth in their operation to be more productive and have less over head costs but not compromise their product. I have to tell you, I Love what I do! Why Not! I have a Deep Love for Alternative Agriculture and I Love watching someone that has tried so hard to make their living see that they can do something better and it was right there all along. SO often people think that they work the animals and they do. My position is to help you have your animals become your partners in a deeper sense with more profitability for sustainability, now who couldn't like that? That's a whole other subject for later.
I hope you all have a Great weekend ahead of you and that when you hit that bump that you wonder, what is it that I need to learn from this?
