"Concerning clothing, we should anticipate future needs, such as extra work clothes and clothes that would supply warmth during winter months when there may be shortages or lack of heating fuel. Leather and bolts of cloth could be stored, particularly for families with younger children who will outgrow and perhaps outwear their present clothes." (President Ezra Taft Benson)
"Can or bottle fruit and vegetables from your gardens and orchards. Learn how to preserve food through drying and possibly freezing. Make your storage a part of your budget. Store seeds and have sufficient tools on hand to do the job." (President Ezra Taft Benson)
This week (at the time I'm writing this) we celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary.
I have done some yard work which is hard for sure.
The garden is doing well. We have been getting rain every few days for now. The garden loves rain water best.
I still am getting some asparagus - yum!
Those little volunteer peach trees are doing really good. I would love an orchard in our yard. I have apple trees, peach trees, and plum trees.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJ2_N1NCzho - interesting to hear her story. I remember winter was coming. I found some fabric scraps from a yard sale in a free box. I had no pattern but I made a coat and wore it, so I did what i could with what I found.
It is amazing the things that we can learn. We can do so much!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwLSBPKK4k4 - has some good tips here.
https://matchymatchysewingclub.com/ - this has a few free downloadable patterns.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaIV_2YBjeg - here is how to vacuum seal in the canister, which I like doing a lot because you can save glass containers and seal food in them. Any jars you get nowadays the lid has the rubber in the lid, so a spaghetti sauce jar works great to store dry food in and seal.
Since you can grow celery from putting the bottom in water, I thought I would try it with romaine lettuce - sure enough, you can! The one on the right you can see is just now growing. The one on left is so pretty.
I made more bread this week.

Keep working on all frugal things and your storage and your skills and teach others, especially your kids. We will be in this for quite a while yet.
Missy says find inexpensive things. You can fix for your family, go to the library and check out frugal cookbooks to help you.
