Going to try and accomplish something every day and you are my inspiration today!! Thank you!❤
Patara, I lived in a camper with my 2 kids for the past 9 months. It was rough, but we kept watching you, being encouraged and kept canning, incubating chicks, seed saving, dehydrating, seed starting, starting our garden and never giving up. Thank you for your time, encouragement and boldness. Jesus needs us to keep doing that!
May the Lord bless you and your family for being faithful to God.
I went through something similar some years ago, never lost my joy in the Lord. And after months, the Lord blessed me and closed that window and opened a window so full of blessings that I am still amazed at our Lord. Love and blessings to you and your family.❤
God Bless you for your perseverance
Best wishes. Perseverance pays off. 🙏
Beautiful! Prayers up!! 🙏😊
Where do you store your canned preps if you live in a camper?
I raised 3 daughters as a single mom, and I found myself working all week to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Then the weekend would come and I had all the household chores that needed to be done and I found I didn't have quality time to spend with my girls. We instituted a 15 minute a day chore routine. For 15 minutes we would turn on the radio and do chores. The girls were 5, 6 and 9. I didn't care what chore they did and often they didn't do it the way I would have done it but that was ok the next time I would work with them on it, and it improved over time. We made the 15 minutes fun, and it was amazing how much we could get done in just 15 minutes weekends we had time todo fun things together and it was better for all of us
🙌🏼 Genius mom.
Great idea! Thanks ❤
Much love to ya mama! You're doing awesome!
I found out yesterday I have a terminal illness, but I'm not giving up. I appreciate you and your channel. You have great ideas. Pray for each other.
Keeping you in prayer.
My prayer's for you rebecca, never forget the Father is in charge" his time" not doctor's, ask him for healing and guidance❤🙏❤🙏💐💐💐
Prayers for you.❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for you. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Praying for you.
I have a Husband like that, he sees it as Our Home, Our Work. He gets up about 4 in the morning does his Bible Study. He loves to sweep and mop...says it gives him something to do. He did a load of laundry night before last. I hardly ever have laundry, I do laundry every day except Sunday. My Honey loves to cook too...he eats 3 times what I do, and slim as can be.
I'm in Florida 25 miles from Jacksonville...we did fine here...power flickered a few times, but Thank God it's still on.
I did a huge cleaning last January...haven't bought a thing. Almost everything I own, you can see. That January clean out did miracles.
I'm Thankful my children are grown...been grown. This lady is older now...I'm determined to enjoy the rest of my life. Lost my best friend last week...she was 64.
Life is so short...Enjoy some of it. God Is Good.
He's a KEEPER for sure. Y'all are precious
Started Today with 33 minutes. I will challenge all 70 yr old Youngsters like me. Kick it y'all. Texans don't take no for an answer! Neither should you 👌
I'm 66, close enough to 70. I will start tonight when I get home from work. I need to start organizing my pantry room. I bought (6) different vegetables and 12 cans of each this week, so I need to make space.
From one 70 year old youngster to another young 70 year old, 33 minutes attacking the kitchen cupboards.
This 74 year old got her interest on a debt lowered. It all helps!
Over the past three weeks, I canned 19 pints of venison chili with beans, 16 pints of venison Sloppy Joe, 14 pints chicken, 18 quarts of ground venison vegetable soup, 5 quarts chicken soup, 5 quarts chicken mulligan, 12 quarts vegetable soup, 20 quarts of beef tips, 10 quarts of venison tips, lots of chicken stock. Already have pickles, tomato relish, jams, cowboy candy, potatoes........Still have to can pinto beans, apple butter, blueberry jam and cherry jam. I do the timer thing too. It really makes a difference. During that time, I do not stop to check my emails, take calls, etc. I already started Fall cleaning and will be happy to join your challenge!
How do you make your Cowboy candy? My husband is always looking for new recipes. Thx.
All I can say is wow!
You've been busy.
WOW!!!
Whoo hoo ..you go girl.😊
GREAT BUMPER STICKER! "MOP IT AGAIN,PRAISE JESUS!" I got 2 hours of sleep last night but I got 2 things done I had to but did NOT feel like doin! PRAISE JESUS! MOP IN AGAIN SISTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My grandmother, God rest her soul, Always said it’s better to do than to stew! How right she was!! God bless ya honey.
The "one thing a day" approach has really helped me to be very productive without feeling overwhelmed.
Same here. I work full time and “do one thing” is a lifesaver.
At 70 years old, I’ve found that the one thing a day is just the way it is now. Even with cleaning, it’s the floors one day, clean bathrooms one day, mow one day, etc. Thankful that I’m still up and going!
I’ve been doing small projects, cleaning out drawers, cabinets, did a car interior today. This is life now. I used to do 100 tasks a day and work 8 hrs on second shift in the hospital! I ask myself how I did it. 🤣🤣🤣 Now I do what I can and my husband (also retired) has taken over all laundry duties. We work together. 53 yrs and going the distance. ❤️🙏 God Bless you all. Stay busy and remember to breathe ❤️🇺🇸
🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸TYFS and for challenging me to do one thing a day. It’s only me and my dog but that is something I Can Do! My Gene was a keeper too. He always helped me around the house. He made his journey home two years ago September 22, 2023💔And yes, prayer is most important in my life 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your prayers! Im in Crystal River, Florida. We are Blessed to come through the hurricane with minimal damage!
I did some veg soup too. Quarts and pints on the shelf.
Anybody think homemade blueberry pancake syrup is ok for gifts?
Absolutely!!!
I think homemade makes the best gifts! I made blackberry syrup and pear butter to give as gifts this year.
Nothing better than a homemade gift. Blueberry syrup, YES PLEASE!!!❤😊😂
Yes! Blueberry syrup as a gift would be heaven
Yes!!!
Challenge accepted! I have a sewing room that I want to declutter. This challenge is right on time. We got this people! ❤🙏💪
Just did the same and sold extra items to add to the fall food pantry stockup
You go girl!!! 💕🇨🇦
I did too.
Have to laugh. I rehoused my fabric to store food I'm canning!
Your husband deserves “husband points” for asking “How can I help you?” He is an angel. And I do not give out “husband points” easily! 😂
I call them brownie points and tell my husband they expire at midnight
Since my sweet momma died four years ago, I’ve needed to de clutter the basement- I do not want to leave too much ‘stuff’ for our kids to go through when we’re gone. SO, like so many others, Challenge Accepted! 🥰. Thanks for the encouragement. ❤
💙
Ms Patara, my Grandmother always said that if you have an abundance of something, it’s usually God sending you a sign of things to come. With that abundance of Elderberry I would think, based on her wisdom, that we are in for a huge medical/illness onset. Thank you for the message. God bless you and yours.
I canned 104 pints of dried beans this weekend. ❤😊 I'm 77 years young. Love from Chickamauga!!!!
That is a great idea: do something every day. This is possible and lets us see progress.
Our peach tree is loaded with big gorgeous peaches this year. Made pies and my husband wants me to freeze dry slices for snacks. Lorie 😊
Strawberry peach pineapple jam is yummy and easy
@@beverlyboyce1041 sounds yummy 🤤. Patara was eating peach salsa about 7 years on her 30 day food shortage videos. I wanna try that too 😊
@@kathymc234 yum yum 🤤
I want my peach trees to have big beautiful peaches!
Nice!!
My one thing extra for today is to make a list of all the things I need to get done, lol. All kidding aside, I just need to start taking one bite of the elephant a day. Even if it is to just clean one window or clean out one cabinet or organize one shelf in the pantry. Thanks for the inspiration and support ❤
I work well off of hand written lists, too.
🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
I'm a list person also and that is my favorite saying..how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! My kids have probably heard that from me a thousand times but it encouraged them to keep going. Keep on keeping on!!
@@misfit7610
Same here!! Grosses my oldest daughter out!!
@@Mimis4grands 🤣🤣
This video came on as I was scraping dog hair off my couch. I had decided to take one room a day. Some rooms will take more than one day but I'm gonna do it. Thanks for the motivation video. I am also on God's side. Amen sister.
And I am scraping cat hair off of mine !🙀
@salonsavy6476 I keep telling Elvis...he's a beagle/bassett mix that I'm going to spin his hair into yarn and crochet a sweater so we match. That's him in the pic. He ain't nothin' but a hound dog.
Hahahaha I've been cleaning parts of one room at a time. We just want to go through everything and get super organized. Some days it's nothing more than a closet and others I've cleaned the closet and painted it lol
It makes me feel happy reading I'm not the only one dealing with pet hair !! 😂❤
Same 😂
I'm 70 Patara and I learned your little trick a long time ago. When I used to get home from work I would take about 10 - 30 minutes a night and clean one thing. Maybe just one drawer or one closet etc. It works really well!!
I work alot and live with just my 3 cats and dog. I'm trying to do a little bit every night.
"Have you seen my floors lately?"....Same! As much as I begrudge the chore, I did get it done the other day and then it motivated me. All because I showed up and tried. Keep on keeping on folks!
I have 6 kids it’s a never ending battle with the floors and walls lol
Hi community! I live in Tampa Bay and the beaches here are flooded.The rest of us are pretty much fine except lots of trees and branches down. Most important though is I have not heard of any lose of life. I only really know about our community. We did lose power , but Duke Electric took care of us right away.
I can’t say why but my life is about to be upended. At least I had warning but most of my preps will have to be passed on to someone else and God-willing I’ll be able to start over. I’ll walk away with so much knowledge and resources for that time. Please don’t get discouraged!! Take heart and keep fighting.
Blessings
Best wishes, from the UK.
Hugs!

Patara, my husband is a medically disabled former police officer. He he retired now after a heart attack and his epilepsy getting pretty bad. I am retired military after battling cancer (and beating it), developing fibromyaligia as well as severe PTSD. All medical issues in mind, we didnt give up on life. I work 2 jobs but still managed to build a 1/2 acre raised bed garden (because we have an oil pipeline under our property). I started seeds for it all except what we lost in the month of rain in June. Even though I work a lot, I still can, dehydrate and preserve everything I can get my hands on. My husband will never give up. My senior in-laws are very much asleep and refuse to wake up. So I've been gifting boxes of jars I grow & can. We pick up a 50lb bag of potatoes every fall from a farm for them. We just have to make it look like gifts rather than prepping them. We gifted them oil lamps, medical bags, ect... Both my husband and I know whats coming and want to help. The point here is... no matter what God blesses you with (good and bad), pick it all up and keep going. God gives the biggest battles to his strongest warriors.
I am so happy for you that James is like that. My husband tries to be helpful, especially when he can see I am in a rut.
You are married to a treasure
Alright, I just set down for a nap but I guess I’m headed to work on my garage…you done guilted me into it!😂
😂
Maybe at a certain age, we can set a timer for nap time.😁
😂❤
My best friend died over a month ago. I promised I would get up, make my bed, keep prepping and keep going forward. My heart is broken.. and I cry every day.. but there are other people in my life that need me to be ready for what's coming. God bless.
Walmart had packs of chx breast on sale for under $7 each so I upped my canned chicken to over 200qts now! Made carrot soup and canned 10qts, 21qts of fresh green beans, next is finishing the hearth for the cubic mini in our motorhome, getting extra water filters, and filling the rest of my gas cans! Keep at it everyone, no lack of motivation here!
Wow
I went to the piggy wiggy and found it for 99cts lb. I got 6 packages at 3 each. They are all in the roaster oven right this minute. Will can it all up in morning.
Fantastic job!!!
Recently I have been doing similar to what you suggest here. In the past 2 weeks, I cleared out cupboard space and pantry space for more storage, I packed 2 "bug out" bags, went through all of my clothes and donated 6 bags full, made cookies for the seniors at the senior center, and I like your idea of doing something EVERY day. i can do that!! You lead by example - in case you didn't realize that. Thanks for being yourself - I just wish you were my neighbor!!!
I’m waiting for my pressure cooker to come today. I’ve never canned before. I went to a upick organic farm this morning and went a little crazy and now I have 18 pounds of amazing grapes. I’m open to all ideas. Also wanting to try to pickle peppers. You are such an inspiration and I love your channel.
Pressure canner or cooker?
@@jenn9579 canner
@@kathymc234 I thought I would try both.
Slice skins on one side with a razor blade and dehydrate. Make sure they are fully dehydrated or they will mold. raisins are great in oatmeal, breads etc. Store in jars with oxygen absorbers.
To pickle peppers ask a real Jewish or italian deli supervisor they will point you in the right direction
My husband is going to be working out of town for 2 weeks so I am planning a canning marathon for that time. I am getting my recipes & supplies ready. Canning takes my mind off of all the crap going on in America! 😉
Challenge accepted! Working on outside stuff since we had a 20° drop in temp today! Much love Patara! Godspeed.
❤️🙏🏻🇺🇲✌🏿✌🏻✌🏽🇺🇲🙏🏻❤️
20 degrees!! I'm envious!!❤
It was so pleasant, I removed all the grass/weeds in an area I wanted to landscape. Unfortunately, my body is rebelling.....
I have a keeper husband too. I came home this afternoon to find him cleaning all the windows and screens for fall!
Oh my goodness Patara… I LOVE your response to the lady that complained about people saying take your children out of the demonic public schools (which I agree to do) “Lead it up”
I had a Pastor, that when a mother complained to him about how there wasn’t enough workers in the nursery when she dropped her baby off before church. He said to her how often do you volunteer to serve? (which she wasn’t even on the list to serve)
Hmmm 🤔
Making my first batch of elderberry syrup today from berries on our homestead and also Froze 12 cups of berries and feeling prepared. Canned 37 quarts of tomatoes yesterday. Made oil of oregano tincture too..just saying. Ha! 64 yrs old and killing it. Lol thanks for your videos, laughter and wisdom.
Fly Lady was a great resource for keeping your house clean. One room or "zone" each day. Setting a 15 minute timer to declutter, etc. Don't think you have to spend hours cleaning. A little here and there goes a long way.
Thank you for the encouragement it makes me push harder. It isn't easy but every time I want to stop I can hear your voice saying "We got each other!"
Patara I snapped at my daughter who’s grown. I was trying to file for SS and everybody and their brother was calling me. I have no time working full time which I’ve done over50years. I’m tired. Not tired of my garden, house or family, just tired of a full time outside job. I can’t wait to spend time on the things around I love.
I’m joining your challenge!
I went to the grocery with my sister today, i have Multiple Sclerosis and I have a hard time going and unloading my car by myself. We both bought a bunch of groceries for our pantry, and we bought a bunch of Chicken thighs and legs. We got back to my house and we vacuum sealed them all. Hers and mine. Ive been canning tomatoes this week., I made 19 pints of salsa. This girl is whipped. I really want to clean my blinds and wash my curtains. But ive still got tomatoes to get up. Im having a hard time keeping up with eith everything. With my health issues. But im putting up and doing something everyday. Petra i just love you girl. The other day my back and legs were just killing me in pain , i feel like im just overwhelmed, i sat down and just started crying. I watched one of your videos, and it was the one about us going into a great depression. I got back up and canned 24 more quarts of tomatoes i was up until 4am. But i got it done. I dont know anyone else that's preparing. My son and his wife work so many hours. They cant do it. My siter and I are canning from my sons garden. They don't even have time to pick it. So we are putting it up. Watching you from Kentucky ❤
I try and work on this kind of stuff every single day.
Patara!!! This was the best piece of advice that anyone has given me in a long long time!!! After I watched this video, I went and set the timer for 23 minutes. I got the kitchen floor mopped, the bedroom vacuumed and a load of laundry in the washer. I looked at the timer and I had 6 minutes left!!!!! Lol!!! You are the best person for the motivation I needed to get my butt up off the couch and get moving. I accept your challenge. I'm a prepper and watch your channel everyday. However I dont know how to can. Maybe someday I'll learn. Thank you so much. Please keep doing what your're doing. You are inspiring a lot of people. Thank you.
I make a list every evening of things I need to do the next day. You are such an inspiration on so many fronts. Thanks you for all your reminders of things to do.
I'm a chronic list maker.😊. I like checking them off and seeing what's left to do
@lynnlamont3485 Same! My husband and children tease me for all my lists (and lists of lists!) and sticky notes all over the house LOL
So glad I’m not the ONLY one!!
God has really given you a gift of communication. You are one blessed and talented young lady. Enjoy your videos a lot. Thank you !
Thank you for the prayers. We had alot of rain and wind . But we are blessed. Thank you Jesus
I desperately need to get rid of "stuff" we don't need/use and my child will NEVER want.....and there are plenty of items that fit this description. Getting the hubs to let go of things is another story. Challenge accepted!
I got 10 gallons of gasoline with a fuel stabilizer to make it last for our cars or generator if needed. I also picked up more flour, noodles, rice, candles and diapers/wipes. Caught up on laundry. Cleaning my car is on my list!!
I'm young enough to be your daughter but I wish I had a friend like you! Your advice has literally changed my life ❤ Thank you & God Bless!
An abundance of any herb is nature's way of telling us what will be needed for the winter. We also use elderberry syrup, emergen-c, fire cider, and thyme works well for me. Blessings to you all!
What is fire cider?
Umm. My rosemary and oregano are doing really well. How do you use your thyme besides cooking?
@@marlenebowers7181 tea isn't very tasty...lol. I make a tincture.
You tell that young man we all feel that way
Mop it again!!! Grabbing the bull horns starting today!!!!! Thanks for positive push and challenge is on yall!!!!! Much love and prayers Sister Patara ♥
I need motivated I’m almost 4 weeks post op and feel so useless 😢 but I’m going to try!! I’m usually like a fart in a frying pan but this surgery on my knee has gotten me feeling so useless. Thanks for encouraging us and informing us of real information!!!
It seems I live in my kitchen, but I can’t stand all day, bad knees. I put a table w/adjustable legs and a small comfortable rolling chair, I can get a lot more done with a lot less pain. At one point in wheelchair, just raised table a little and it still worked. Hope this might help a little bit.
Yesterday I pulled out a big pork roast out of the freezer yesterday and I cut it in half and took it with me a long with potatoes and carrots and shared it with my daughters family and while I was gone to work my mother made our pork roast for supper and man it was sooo good I call that comfort food
If you got left overs... 😂 nothing better than pot roast with potatoes and carrots.
Sounds wonderful, how nice of you❤
AMEN...CLAWING MY WAY THRU THIS! 🙏🙏🙏⚖️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I picked 33 minutes and was able to wash 2 windows, clean up a table that has my house plants on it, cleaned up my shoe holder and put all my hubbies tools back in the garage toolboxes. I had to crack up when Patara said about the shoes in the middle of the floor and I looked down and yep a shoe defiantly looking back at me on the dining room floor 🤣🤣🤣. My refrigerator is getting pretty full of lists but I'm giving it my best!
Peace and blessings to all!!
I’m in! At least one thing per day! I’m an artist who isn’t painting much anymore and intend to give most of my acrylic paint to the local high school. It’s doing me no good. I’m keeping one brand but it’s a small amount and my oils. I have a TON of paint to give away. Plastic totes full! I don’t want it to go to waste. I intend to work on it daily and do another daily thing too. Tomorrow it begins! Thank you for inspiring me all the time! TEAM PATERA ON THE MOVE!!! ❤❤❤
its good to soak peeled cubed potatoes in cold cold water before you can them. pulls that starch out so they stay firm in the canning process. Patara, I feel like I'm in God's army and just reported to Scrappy's Boot Camp for a daily butt-kickin, Keep it up girl!
I add lemon juice to that soak water
I'm glad to hear this. I would rather soak than blanch. I tried dry canning potatoes with just butter, but I think they don't look as nice 🤷♀️. I don't think I'll do that again.
I am going through my car kit today. What a mess but here in Wyoming it is essential for winter preps.
Thank you. Since I retired & my husband died, i have let myself & my home go. I'm excepting your challenge. Getting a room cleaned up & organized 1 at a time. Starting today. Your just the push i needed.
Thank you for the prayers, Patara! We live 30 miles inland of the Big Bend, where Idalia made landfall. Prayers ARE answered! Just branches down and 1 day without power. Our Governor, linemen are on top of it!
Got hubby a 3 pair pack of heavy winter Dickies socks for $1.
Patata, you are always pushing us but in such a positive way. Your faith is showing through 😍
I've always said if you are looking at an iceberg, just break it down to ice cubes and tackle them one at a time. Amen, Patera.
Hubby and I hit Walmart yesterday and ALDES today (since our garden didn't do so well this year) And each time we go I feel so much better. I had major dental work done today as well so that kind of knocked me down a bit. So tomorrow,,, I have plans. It's time to purge part of my kitchen cabinets. How in the world I acquired so many glass tumblers I'll never know LOL. So once I take some out to donate, and some to keep, I should have a nice section to use for more needed things. I have custard bowls and soufle dishes that need a place, that'll be the answer 🙂Then I have 2 bottom and 2 top cabinets that need to be emptied, sorted to date, and some brought in the pantry. Wow I should have more space to move some of my 'on the counter' appliances in the bottom ones. Ooohhh! I'm excited because I've wanted to get the darn toaster off the counter. LOL (And the extra coffee maker, etc) I'm writing this on a post-it so I fill my goal. AWESOME IDEA PATARA! 😃
I'm a 5 min girl......5 min to clean the bathroom, 5 min to do the dishes......5 min to vacuum.....5 min to mop etc......... I do it on a rotational bases so one day it's bathrooms, next day it's vacuum and mop etc the only exceptions are dishes daily and laundry twice a week. I find it is so much easier to keep the house clean and still have lots of time to do other things I enjoy like gardening, canning, spending time with the grandkids and work.
So happy you talked about this as my husband says I'm obsessed......I tell him "NO I'M NOT, I'M ORGANIZED AND HAPPY"
I love the challenge! With all the animals, mowing, gardening, canning, etc., my house is a mess. A little each day with catch it up! I bought some Kosher salt for canning then found 2 boxes in the back of my pantry, so it needs cleaning out too. Thank you for the inspiration!
Yesterday I put up tomatoes and chopped up peppers lots and lots and went threw medication and bandaid etc and made my list.
Today is make beef veg soup.
Brother in law was buried today he was 57.😢 he had a hard life.
Enjoy everyday.❤
🙏❤🙏
Glad I sat down for a bit and turned you on. I have been in a slump for three days. Arthritis flared up so I could barely move but I accomplished some. I am going to take on your challenge. I worked in the garden today, got the dehydrator going. Going to clean out my entertainment center today so I can store needed things in it besides junk! Love you Patara. Without your motivation I doubt I would make it.
Fall deep cleaning is what I do this time of the year. It’s a carry over of what my mother always did. Makes for a clean house before the holidays come around. Even steam cleaning carpets. Sounds ambitious for turning 78 in October but I just pace myself. Also have some more canning I want to do. Tomorrow I’m planting a fall garden. You are inspiring! Thank you!❤❤ Blessings!
YOU are inspiring!!!! Wow!
Awesome day but I am also tired. Went to store and got a deal on markdown meat, picked up apple boxes from my grocer with the cardboard divided trays for apples and picked 2 bushels of green tomatoes I have at least 2-3 more on the plants. It is so cold here at night I want to protect the crop I have. I just finished canning 7 qts of pears the neighbor gave me. I also picked what was ripe on my elderberry’s and made more juice. Now I am working on wool mittens that I sell at our local farmers market.
Thank you Patara.
Challenge accepted! I’m going to be getting my second floor ready for my daughter to move into. She’s expecting and needs space for her, her partner & baby. And I need my space with my husband/her dad; so living together with our own spaces is key. We are blessed to be able to do this.
4 generations in 1 house, how wonderful!!
@@misfit7610 just three so far, but we’re looking forward to it ❤️
Thank you, Patara! I really needed to hear the bit about the floors. I've been canning stuff every day and my floors are a wreck. I've got preps pulled out for 4 different canning projects on-going right now (beans for baked beans soaking, spaghetti sauce in 18 quart roaster, frozen salsa ingredients thawing in fridge and muscadines for juicing). The floor are so gross but I keep putting it off because I'm just making more messes canning every day like a mad woman. I stayed up until after midnight the last 2 nights canning and cleaning up. I'm so tired it's all I can do to watch the canner. But you're totally right, I need to stop complaining to myself about the floors and just mop my floors! Thanks for the motivation!
I need to be motivated to wash my windows on the outside. So, tomorrow I will begin. I "deep" clean my house in the spring of each year. Sometimes it takes a week to clean one room with going through all of the drawers and so on. The kitchen is the room that takes the longest time. Thank you Patara.
I work Saturday, and I'm picking up 100 lbs of tomatoes Thursday (just in time, I'm down to 9 litres of tomato sauce, and 2 litres of roasted tomato sauce, still have salsa (8 pints), but only 5 250mls of ketchup, no barbeque sauce at all). So I'll be processing tomatoes from Friday on.
Thank you for the mental kick in the pants, seem to need it more and more.
YEEP, GET- TEE - UP- GO .....!!!!THUMBS-UP
Looks like the soup mom used to make. Brings back warm memories 😅
Put up green beans, basil, corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. First time from my own little garden. Sweet potatoes ready too. Fall garden planted. Pantry is stocked. People dont realize there is a learning curve to planting a garden.. Gonna put up cowboy candy for my son this weekend. Ought to be just about perfect by his birthday. He has wanted to try it for a while. He grows and loves peppers. He is my fourth of eight adult children. Always our babies. Right?
I’m choosing to do 1 extra thing each day through October 22 ( my 75th) birthday. Thank you for the encouragement. Lord Bless you. Keep up the good fight. Mama Jane 🙏
My grandson's birthday is the same day as you. Mine is the 23rd. 69.
I will be 72 in October and since January I have had covid and in the hospital. Then I broke my ankle June 6 and didn't get to can or do anything much but I did get to work on my pantry, I had my husband to pick up at least a few items at the store for my pantry during the summer. I froze some tomatoes from my garden! Not too bad for a 72 year old 😂
I so needed to hear this today! I have endless mess & clutter, produce everywhere that needs to be preserved or cleaned. And trying to wrap a bunch of projects outside before the wet rainy winter season.
Pls don’t ever shut up!! Your voice is so inspiring and truthful!! 😁
This year my nasturtiums didn't do much leaf and flower-wise BUT they are setting LOTS of seeds (which is unusual for me) so I'll be harvesting the seeds.
Great show again, young lady! Thank you...🇺🇸 😎👍☕
dodged a bullet today as the hurricane went past us and went to Perry instead of coming in at Cedar key. I am 40 miles inland from there. Perry got whacked and Horseshoe beach got drowned out and the whole bend area is whacked out. I prepared and got spared.
Thanks for remembering us down here.
One extra thing a day. I can do that. I'm in.
That pesky rooster that’s chasing the hens around but low on the pecking order, sure makes a good soup!
Only if you pressure cook him first. Trust me on that one 😆
@@davidelliott2485 yea they can be s little tough:)
@@davidelliott2485 cheers!

I just love Real Deal folks. Thank you for being one of those. Appreciate You!!
There’s always more that we can do. Goal setting is the best way to get things done. I love this idea, and I’m in!
I'm with you 💯% I will take this challenge with you ❤can't thank you enough for all you are teaching and uplifting us all. You are so right I need a attitude adjustment because yes I feel like a hamster 🐹 on a wheel 😊❤
It's wonderful your elderberry crop is so good because those are expensive on Amazon! I'm planting one next year!!! I'm not sure if it will thrive here or not, but I'm going to try.
I’ve stocked & stocked! I just took g*n lessons & have already been to the g*n range to practice! I’m getting better & better. I wouldn’t ever hurt a fly but now can protect myself if needed. I’ve still purchase 5-10 cans of beef, chicken or something every time I go to the store!
I’m up for the challenge now on cleaning my home & getting organized. I’m very clean but can always do better! You’ve given me the incentive! That’s a great idea & yes, I’ll feel better! Praise the Lord! Thank you AGAIN, Patara! We’ve gotta think of everything especially now with what’s coming! Got bless you!! 😘
Thank you Patara. I needed this today. I appreciate this challenge. I love to cook and can. Cleaning is my nemesis. The procrastinator in me is definitely the hardest part to overcome. I still work 40 hours a week and would love to retire. You are a blessing to us and a great motivator. Blessings to all of you. Challenge accepted ❤❤❤
I’m right there with you on all that!! But I did retire I hadn’t decided to I had planned on working a couple more years but my arthritis got the best of me making a bigger garden and doing so much at once ended up off work so decided that retiring was my best option and I’m going to love it I just want to be normal again!!
Girl, I did retire and I still procrastinate about my house! I will cook, can, dehydrate, garden, shred fields, and chase chickens. But I can't find time for this darn house.....
@@KoniB. right I understand that I’d rather be outside any day than inside cleaning but I do enjoy a nice neat clean house it just seems unrealistic for me🤦🏻♀️ I’m wanting to learn to sew this winter!!!
@@KoniB. ❤️❤️❤️
@@Cthomas5678 ❤️❤️🥰
I love your ideal Patara! Think it will get me jump started for the winter! Will have to start tomorrow, the storm hit us hard in SE Ga. Still have no power, 3 trees & power lines across driveway. Glad its over finally for all of us in the south. Thanks for all you do to give us inspiration and encouragement. Love and prayers. 💜🙏
Put up more meat today and made 12 more candles. I go through my ‘stuff’ the first of the month to check dates, lids, etc…helps me to keep on top of things! I am with you on this challenge. Still need to get my small kitchen greenhouse planted with more herbs. Have 5-6 pints of infused oils ready for tinctures, healing salves, homemade Neosporin, etc. I try to do a little each day to maintain the momentum. Thanks for all your encouragement!
@countryblends3982 I have a similar plan. I'm planning how to keep some of my herbs over winter. I've recently learned how to make salves and homemade antibiotic salve is on my list for sure. I'm going to make Fire Cider. I need to redo my pantry space and I find myself in it often checking and rechecking. Blessings!
Patara the book of Luke tell us that Hesus says we are to occupy until He Comes. That's exactly what you just told us!!!! Grat Job!!!
So I live in a smaller town population around 8500. We’ve been dealing with our water smelling and tasting like human waste. Then for a week you can hardly bathe in it because of the smell of chlorine. No boil order nothing. I go thru water filters fast. Now they’re saying cut down on water usage. The electric company is telling us our bill is going up by 83% at the daycare and 70% at home. I keep pushing thru but I feel like sometimes my knees are going to buckle and I won’t get back up. You let me know I’m not alone Patara because I can guarantee there is no one around me doing anything but traveling going on cruises and buying stuff they’ll use once them stick somewhere their children will find after they’re gone. I find my strength in God and reassure an eye from you and a few other you tubers. God bless you for everything you do. Much love from KansS
