My dear friend, Sista, posted an interesting article about our country's loss of Ferry Morse Seed Company. Gobbled up, and the employees kicked out the door. If you have a moment, please read her brief article and the links she's included. We need more people to understand what is happening to our agriculture and just as important, our personal access to quality non GMO produce and seeds.

When is it too early to turn in?
I'm serious, what do you consider to be too early?
I hit the sack last night at 7:30pm, and then slept until 7:00am. I can hardly believe it. I usually sleep until around 5am. Of course, the old sprained foot isn't much help, and now my left leg hurts from compensating for the right foot, my armpits and arms hurt from the crutches. I guess I'm just tuckered out!
Then again, there is not a darn thing on the boob tube, of which I don't watch much anyway, I usually read, but I couldn't keep my eyes open last night.
Throw in that I'll be 45 next month, and I guess I'm turning in to my grandparents. Early to bed, early to rise (except on a rare occasion like this morning) makes a person healthy (healing the bad foot), wealthy (not so much thanks to the economy) and wise (definitely getting wiser as I get older).

The Feet are Up, Sort of
If you read yesterday's post, you'll know that I did some fancy dancing at The Compound yesterday, and sprained my foot. Thought I broke the thing when it happened, but I can put some weight on it. Hurts like the dickens!
Our home office is on the 2nd floor, I'm relegated to working from the dining room table as steps are impossible. All of this sitting around, when I'm not hobbling to the kitchen out of boredom to see what's in the fridge, has made me really think about our medical supplies prepping. The Moose went in to the attic this morning in search of his old crutches. Guess what? He's 6', I'm a puny 5'4-1/2". They won't work for me, unless a miraculous occurrence happens and my torso grows another 6". Trust me, you can not make crutches that are too tall for you work! It's impossible, and would likely cause me to hurt something else, and I don't need the added pain. So it's off to buy a pair that will work for me.
We have band aids, aspirin, ointments, alcohol, peroxide, ace bandages, etc. Quite a bit too, but never thought of crutches. Did this item cross your mind for long term planning? If not crutches, then a cane? Something to help you hobble around may be needed. Well, now the Moose and I will have matching pairs, as soon as he gets back from the pharmacy.
