Visiting preps and pantry

I went thru my preps and pantry,  and rotated everything older into the kitchen to be used.  Newer foods went into some tubs I bought just for this project.  I divided everything between 3 - 18 gallon tubs and added a fleece blanket to each and will also add minor first aid (I have a comprehensive first aid kit).   Also I am going to add composition notebooks and pencils.  I have to shop for some replacement foods and then comtinue to add items each month!  I am using tubs because they will be stored in the basement, my yarn is in tubs also and haven't taken on any bad smells.  So far the year is starting out good.

WWII . . . . . Remember.

There will be a sad day comin’
For the foes of all mankind
They must answer to the people
And it’s troubling their mind
Everybody who must fear them
Will rejoice on that great day
When the powers of dictators
Shall be taken all away

There’ll be smoke on the water
On the land and the sea
When our Army and Navy overtakes the enemy
There’ll be smoke on the mountains
Where the Heathen Gods stay
And the sun that is risin’

Will go down on that day

  ~ Red Foley, Smoke on the Water, 1944

Still true today?  Something to think about.

Summer Weather Update

I looked up the August weather for our area: half a degree below normal and only 10 sunny days.  Strange!  Because I have yet to go to bed, tossing and turning from the hot summer days, in fact the comforter is still on my bed.  I know we have way more sunny days than ten!  Summer gardens have already been in fall mode and yet produced very little. Half corn crops around here are not in tassel which means the roadside stands will not have a good profit. Another reason for worsening economy . . .  weather!

I will be starting on my preparedness plans.  Food, first aid, flashlights will be this month. Creating space will also be a challenge but not impossible.
