Called a friend I hadn’t talk to since college…in the first 10 mins she says, “I’m heading to see a friend who is battling breast cancer, and I’m just leaving the funeral of a coworker who died” 🤯. I go to work and get a text…high ranking pilot with cardiac problems post vax- military is denying there is any link between vax and cardiac issues 🙄🤯🤯. Get contacted by another pilot- BP skyrocketing after vax on 3 BP meds to get it down to 160/100, cardiac problems, testosterone is almost nonexistent and he has been diagnosed with two autoimmune diseases…all within one year of vax…this is my “new normal” battle rhythm…demand accountability- every day I see the damage and everyday I am told there is nothing to see here…no evidence of harm…WTH

It's like a dream, having so many apples that we have enough for applesauce, pie, cider & everything else we want to make. A dream that started years ago when we planned the orchards & planted tiny bare root trees. #harvesttime #homesteaddreams #growyourownfood

We turned some of the grape harvest into these fun grape gummies. If you don't have a candy mold, just pour them into a pan and then cut them to shape. Get the recipe here => commonsensehome.com/grape-gu…

Save those pits and make some cherry pit vodka! Use this as a substitute for cherry or almond extracts in baking. You can also use it like kirsch in fondue, cherries jubilee, or chocolates. commonsensehome.com/cherry-p…

The mulberries are starting to ripen. Time for jam? commonsensehome.com/mulberry… You can leave the stems on for jam making, as they cook down and blend in, but if you want to remove them, we include tips to do that quickly, too.

These strawberry vanilla preserves are wonderful on pancakes or ice cream. Easy to make & a little bit different than plain strawberry jam. Get the recipe here => commonsensehome.com/strawber…

Wouldn't it be nice to have a well stocked root cellar this fall? Build new or rework basement space for storage. We just used up the last of the potatoes and onions that we stored in our root cellar in September 2022. You can have a root cellar too - commonsensehome.com/root-cel…
