How money works, opting out of big banking, growing hopps as a side business, snakes and more today on First Tuesday Coffee Chat. I was joined by John Willis and Jack Spirko and today was straight firehose.

Gm nostr On my walk yesterday, this little flower said hello. It is fox glove and poisonous. Or is it? Well the answer is yes but in small doses, herbalists have been known to use it to help with heart conditions. I just thought it was pretty. Tuesday live with @Jack Spirko and John Willis today! #lftn image

GM nostrites. We were excited to get some salad greens this week while the day lilies were blooming (verify variety before eating yo). This flower has a peppery, radish flavor and grows all over the us. Makes for a beautiful salad presentation. #lftn #grownostr #homesteadstr #homesteading We like to talk about foraging on our Friday show. image

Gm #coffeechain Doing chores early today because we are headed to Strong Roots Resources today and Tactical wanted to hit church on the way. Contemplating the tomato wall system today. We are building the last one to shield my house from summer sun next Sunday afternoon. We decided to do an open house/potluck for anyone who wants to see how this is done. The weird thing? This is a hydroponic system. I tossed compost tea in there 4 weeks ago along with Texas Tomato Food. Since that time these plants have gone from babies to almost as tall as my house AND I have added water but no more fertilizer. The nutrient count keeps going up. The plants look healthy. It has turned into a great experiment. What did I trigger and how did I trigger it?? Anyway the new wall will have a worm bin integrated and I'll see if we can go 100% compost tea and worm casting tea. Wanna come? JUNE 8, 1pm ct-4pm ct Rsvp here #homesteading #homesteadstr #lftn #grownostr

Gm #coffeechain. Overslept after a night of nightmares about meeting my uncle in New York. When I got there I was having trouble finding the right street for the bar. Then when I got to the bar he wasn't there yet, the food was all carby, and the only wine on offer was sweet white wine. Blah. Wish I could remember the street name I was seeking because it is probably relevant. Farmers Market will be waaaaay better than thay today! #lftn #grownostr #symbolicdreams image

GM #coffeechain! Enjoying some light reading, @Jack Spirko 's Laws Of Life, before diving into a day of supporting the development of nutrient-dense food on my homestead, shipping coffee orders, and doing our Friday show. There is even a Self Reliance Festival meeting to wrap up the day. So nice to spend a bit of quiet time sharpening the sword before going into rhinocerous mode. How do you sharpen yours? Got the book yet?! #lftn #homesteading #getroasted #hollerroast image

GM #coffeechain. Enjoying some Holler Roast while deciding what to do about the problem I am having sourcing organic Colombian beans. Going to have to change our house blend unless something changes. Today's list is impossibly long but at least it is a foundation from which to pull #my3things Humming birds are all over the place lately and watching them fight over feeders is like watching folks with TDS and TSS discuss tarrif's... Only the humming birds ate more relaxing. Enjoy your day. #homesteading #craft coffee #getroasted image

Gm #coffeechain! Holler Roast house is in my mug today, a blend of crisp Colombia and chocolate Brazil. Headed to Polyface Farm tomorrow so today is "go" day. Time to polish the presentation, pack my bags, and get ready to be inspired! What are you up to this weekend? #lftn #grownostr #homesteading image

Gm #coffeechain. Enjoying the quiet, country noises. Birds tweeting, water alling. This place is mostly free of modern sounds unless a plane goes by and I never realized how loud the real world is until I left, then came home. Don't forget to find your peace. Caritas! #lftn #homesteadlife #homesteading #grownostr #hollerroast image

Sometimes you just need to take a moment, pause, and change the scenery. Tactical and I have been working hard to transform the homestead into a more integrated system. We have been repairing, changing, adding, subtracting, and building. Some things work great. Some choices make endless days of hard work with no break. We have darn near 100 hearts that depend on our success or failure here. Last week, we snuck away for an overnight backpack trip. The hike in was only four miles, but it was surprisingly challenging. And the phones did not work at all. In an emergency, someone would have had to send a runner!! That switch off was exactly what was needed. No notifications. No ability to just look something up real quick. No distractions. Just quiet (well not really quiet. It is a cicada year). Just peace. Just dark at night and light with the sun. We have a big thing to do soon. And sometimes, as much as you love your life, it is good to press pause. Catch your breath. And change the scene.
