privacy (how to), and location independent income

This sounds like exactly what I'd like to learn more about (I'm not too techy so please make it easy!)

Q: so Strike is an "exchange"...is Exodus (which I opened a while ago) my "wallet" to safely store BTC longer term? (thank you again for answering Q's!)

thank you for that tip

Well it's been an exciting day so far: finally figured out to how buy BTC (I know, so boring...) and in my giddiness doxxed myself 🙄

So if you're a new follower, hello. I like plants. I really like people, too, and believe that in the craziness of the world God is still at work. I even see it here!

Now back to picking plums and minding my own business 🙂

Well, I tried to figure out where to zap you (I'm on Damus) but only saw it on your profile so I did, but I have zero idea how much it was so I'm sorry if it was a lame amount and you're welcome if it was everything I had 😂

looks up "doxx" 🙄 (did I mention I was new?) 😂

I got Strike! I got BTC! I'm soooo excited, thank you so much for taking time and care to answer my newbie questions ❤️

Hey, I know that person!! 😂😁

thank you

Maria would you recommend Moonpay for buying BTC?

Is Moonpay a good place from which to buy BTC?

Speaking of preparing winter medicine...

Got a couple bunches of horehound from a nearby farmer, and picked hyssop, thyme and mullein from my own garden. It's all in the dehydrator. All of these herbs are useful for various cruddy conditions (but obs--or maybe not obs--do your own study to see if they're appropriate for your own situation).

My (first year) garden isn't giving me an abundance yet, but I'm pleased with even the small offerings. My plan is to dehydrate this small batch of plants and put them by for syrup making when I need it. I'll tincture whatever's left in early spring.

Are you growing any of your own medicine?

Good morning. Take some time to watch the clouds today, you don't *have* to race through your life like a Looney Tunes tazmanian devil.

Did you know that sticky Grindelia makes a nice honey for wet winter coughs? It grows along our beaches. I cut the flowers and put them in a jar, and then top with honey for a few weeks before straining. I learned this from a herbalist up on Lopez Island when I was there over a decade ago learning how to harvest seaweed. I've had so many good teachers over the years, grateful.

It took a couple years, but I finally got my first passionflower bloom.

Making progress on a large art piece.

Well, we had a good and loud dumping rain last night and this morning as I woke up I remembered all of my garlic, curing underneath one of the big cedar trees 😳

But! All of it was dry! I was so happy. Simple pleasures, grateful.

Last of my duck eggs. I had two ladies left from an older flock, and even though they were aging, they were still supplying me with eggs.

Today's the day they were going to get out of the tractor and into a permanent pen. But last night something got into the tractor and got them 😔

I did shed a few tears. I'm going to miss their company (and eggs). We'll start again with a new flock, with plenty more protection.
