This weeks preps check-in

As in pestlence? lol. Lets hope not.

Similar but unrelated Latin root words. Pestle comes from pistillum which the pistil of a flower (so I wasn't far off in my guess of the correct spelling since they both have same root). Pestilence comes from pestis which means deadly disease or plague.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

LOL, I saw that and was looking for your new pistol in the picture. Then I realized what you were saying and I couldn't remember how to spell it either. I looked up "pistil" and it wasn't that so I looked up "mortar and" and let it fill out the rest.

It's "pestle."

I should correct that, but it’s too funny!

My wife is in the process of restoring a cast iron Mortar and Pestle. Probably a Pharmacy one from 1870’s. If I can find the pestle, I’ll will post.

Even more Ammunition in stock laid, but I don't know if it will do much good when World War 3 starts.

Last week the wife and I bought our hunting and fishing licenses. We also both got our deer, elk, bear, wolf, mt lion, turkey, muzzle loader, salmon and steelhead tags. Obviously we won't bag everything on the list but we should easily fill the freezer and the smoke house. Except for the salmon and steelhead, everything is found in abundance here on our property.

I know it's not much but Joann's had cotten fabric sells this last week. I did get a top quilt worth during the sales and using gift cards so didn't cost me a thing. Have to say the fabric choices are getting limited for my choice. Maybe I am just getting old.

Any salmon and steelhead on the neighbors place? We can make a run...

Gee, I can picture you in a flannel shirt and jeans.
But that what I picture most of the female members in.
Except for AH, think she tries to fit in with her neighbors.

Is the finale answer 7?

Yeah. I see it now. I got mixed up on that second row on the top. I saw 2 but then took my glasses off and can see 3. That row must have the runt.

 

[Cindyd]

Yes, there is a runt in the mix.

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

There’s alway a runt in the mix! I tend to watch them closer.

Great photo! Luv the Easter Basket full of bunnies!
