    Stock Market is the bottom in?

    Government spending is a big contributing factor to inflation I think the debt is simply an effect of their runaway deficit spending. The oil prices skyrocketing have the largest effect on the economy by far which can be laid directly at Biden’s feet.

    old cast iron pans

    183 acre plot just came up for sale at $5000 an acre about a mile south of our new 151 acre farm that I gave $3800 an acre for two years ago. Prices still seem to be accelerating around here.

    Crabapple timeline

    I planted Adirondack, sugar thyme, red jewel, and three Prairie fire last year my red jewel appears to have not made it and I’ll need to order another one. These where all deeply discounted trees so I knew the possibility that one or more may not make it was high.
