Happy Thanksgiving, Hunter. Every square inch of land and the history of all people is drenched with blood, suffering, and hardship. Truthfully we should be grateful about how fortunate we all are to be standing upright on it, gathering resources and continually replicating our species. What a world it is. Love you, man. All my best to you and yours.
You too. Yes, I wrote a novel about healing the land, and people, in that regard. I am thinking about serializing that as a part of paid subscriptions - as I am cutting up half a deer given to my father this Thanksgiving. Thanks for showing up.
What, people reject the notion of Thanksgiving. As though gratitude has been colonized.
I saw some angry voice today on Facebook whining about the Thanksgiving holiday. What that shows me is that they have so much practice being angry, that they don’t know how to stop being angry long enough to be grateful.
Gratitude is a practice, you have to feel it to practice. Sometimes you have to gin it up a little bit, prime the pump to get it flowing.
This is the Day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!
I've just 2 brussel sprout plants in my veg bed. Not got frosts yet in UK but they say these taste better when frosts arrive. I will leave in ground and pick off what I need each time. Danger of being eaten by other creatures, may freeze if that looks to be the case. Well done with the crop!
That is awesome. I once had Brussels under a little poly house, still alive in early January, pick as needed, a foot of snow around the house. Snow collapsed the structure eventually.
First. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. "Truthgiving" Hmmm. There are NO NATIVE OR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN NORTH OR SOUTH AMERICA! EVERYONE came from somewhere else! The first people crossed over from Asia. Being people, they fought brutal and bloody wars over land. Example. The Black Hills:
Around the year 1100, the Arikara Tribe was living in the Black Hills.
Since then, the Crow stole the Black Hills from the Arikara.
Then the Pawnee stole the Black Hills from the Crow.
Then the Kiowa stole the Black Hills from the Pawnee.
Then the Cheyenne stole the Black Hills from the Kiowa.
Then around 1776, same time as the US was born, the Lakota Sioux stole the Black Hills from the Cheyenne.
I spent about a month there in about 1996 or so, just driving around and staying in Nat Forest campgrounds. I've been back a few times. Sacred land indeed. Perhaps sometime I will publish here a chapter from that month in a book I wrote but never published.
BTW, I know it's racist but if you were born here you are native to the land.
Thank you. Not racist. The native part is correct. Indigenous, "occurring naturally in a particular region or environment" not so much. Coming across the country we went through the Black Hills. I know there are different view points, but going through the gate to the Mt.Rushmore monument takes your breath away at the effort it took to create it.
I have one of sorts in my trailer- one of the under bench compartments stuffed with hay/straw. Last year I kept 50 pounds of onions for nearly a year. Squash into late spring. Eggs kept good enough to be theoretically edible, but I used them for animal feed. I have a bunch of stuff in it this year too, caveat, the straw can be messy, LOL.
Once again, congratulations on a successful garden and many harvests with the full home-made root cellar to boot!
Looks like Sean has some primo real estate for his selling his decolonized food. Although, how "decolonized" can it actually be? This world has been taken over by psychopathic predators, and even growing one's own food must involve some aspect of the commercialized world (if only to be poisoned from above by the stratospheric geo-engineering chemicals).
Still, we can do our best given all the constraints and exigencies! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
As for Sean, at first I was like, show some effing gratitude, dude. Can't we have a gratitude day and an effing truth day? Or maybe every day should be both, eh?
But then I was like, I'm glad I don't have to suck up to wealthy liberals....

Yes indeed. As to a practice, I repeat it in various ways every day.
Being angry all the time is a mental condition.

Congratulations William!
Lol! Very funny stuff about hipster Minneapolis food. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
A happy Thanksgiving to you, Hunter. May you enjoy the literal fruits of your labor!
Every day my friend. You too

So who gets the Black Hills?
It's all WHITE SUPREMACY!!! ;)

To you a yours as well...

Look forward to the book.
Lovely Root Cellar!

Happy Thanksgiving!
That's pretty cool. Speaking of messy, that sand for the carrots works, but then I'm like, what about those that go bad?

LOL. So true. Ron and I are of the same mind.
Happy Day to be Grateful WHD for all the things and people in our lives that bring us joy and satisfaction. And that we found you on Substack. 💓🙏🏻
Happy day indeed :)
Here's to expanding a community of gratitude, joy and satisfaction.
🙏🏼💗
That was dang outstanding!!
I continue to be thankful for you, and envious of what you were able to manage in such a short period of time!
The stocks of Brussels 🤯
Thank you! The Brussels are 36-40 long and about 2" thick at the base. I had to use a tree loppers to harvest them :)
Lol...omigosh...that would have made an epic video!
WDH vs Nature for food!
