Frugal

Being frugal is not about doing without. It is about doing without money. We are creatures, animals of nature, and she can provide for us if we would only let her. It is now, when the grasshoppers are in turmoil, that us ants truly appreciate and are thankful for our bond with the earth.

This is a brag post. Not wealthy with cash, I am probably the most fortunate woman on the planet. Case in point tonight's dinner. Our cheese, our eggs, our tomato filling and camera shy was our own bacon. Only thing to throw away was the little plastic bag.

  1. You have every right to "brag"! How wonderful to provide everything you need to eat by your own labors. I'm jealous!!

    So what's with the little plastic bag?

  2. RuralRose, thanks for the reminder! This concept is something I am still struggling to learn, but am always striving for! I think that part of the problem is that still live so near the W@lMart, etc... someday I know it will all come together, at least we are off to a good start. Thanks for the post!

  3. So what did you make. It looks like an omlet, then there is a pan full of sauce?

  5. There is something so satisfying about eating a meal that totally came from your own farm! My Hubby often ask when we sit down to eat if the food is all ours.I love it when I can say yes!We are still not where we want to be,still buying too much food,we are getting closer all the time though!

  7. Brag away girl, you work hard to provide for yourself and your family. Most of us (me) can't quite part with the unimportant material things and concentrate on what we truly need need to thrive on this earth. I love your posts, you are an inspiration Rose! xoxo
