There have been such extremes: gone from floods in Manitoba to a heat wave there. In my area we are the opposite-having gone from drought to too much rain.There has been flooding in the States to now, a heat wave. Death of livestock and drying of crops. There have been several earthquakes, and volcanoes erupting. An extreme drought in Africa that the people are fleeing to Kenya to already overflowing camps.<br /> <br />My question is: what is next? You can only prepare for so much. The rest is out of our hands.Stoney Creek Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00135386098524196047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7051719.post-60806802307723835092011-07-14T06:37:05.263-06:002011-07-14T06:37:05.263-06:00I totally get what you are saying because I notice...I totally get what you are saying because I noticed with a longer winter, we were short on cool weather crops this year. Then, the heatwave took its toll on some things too. <br /><br />One thing that I have to say is that its important to stock up on things while we can. Some have an aversion to factory canned goods and want to live just off the land. I feel that this is foolish given the extremes in weather we have had in the U.S. these past few years. I therefor say that being prepared and taking advantage of what we have now is the best option. Its still not a long term solution but its one that can make or break a family in a famine situation.LindaMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03624659670781181099noreply@blogger.com
