HOw To FOUND A PERCOLATOR


Percolator
A while back, I blogged about something we call "prepping in plain sight".  In other words, having things around that you can use anytime, but that might also be extra useful in an emergency such as bad weather or another natural or man made disaster, power outage, etc.

One thing 2nd Man enjoys is his morning coffee.  Me, not so much, I'm more of a tea drinker so for me, a tea kettle is all I will need.  We always have at least a couple of those floating around.  For coffee however, we figured something a little more old school might be best.  

 So recently, I was digging around in some boxes (from my parents) in storage after our move and I found that my Mom had apparently bought this percolator but never used it.  It's brand new, and was still in its original store packaging.  The best part of all?  The package shows that it is also rated for use over a fire or camping stove!  So that means that we now have a way to make coffee, if necessary, without electricity.  For 2nd Man, that's a good thing...and for my sanity, it's ALSO a good thing, ha.  We haven't used this yet, that will come eventually, but I guess it's better know how to do it before we ever have to do it.  I guess we just need to store up some coffee now, either ground or beans (with a grinder of course) so that coffee is always on the menu.  

Any 'must have' items you would go crazy without for a period of time without power?

HOw To HORTON HEARS A WHO FLOWERS IN BLOOM

Image
For some reason, these don't always appear at the farm each Spring.  Because of that, we love that somehow they are rarer than the other things popping up on a regular basis.   Dr. Seuss flower? Sure enough, last weekend, they were in a few patches around the farm.  The first time we ever saw one, the FIRST thing we both said was... HORTON HEARS A WHO!!!!!!! The iconic Dr. Seuss character who finds a whole world living on a speck on an awesome looking pink and yellow flower.  Horton Hears a Who flower The only thing missing on ours are the striped stems, ha.  They are SO pretty and so unusual, even if it is "just a weed", we love having them around.   I thought about cutting some to put in a small vase and see how long they last...and maybe we'll just have to start listening a little closer to them. Hmm, just thought about it, maybe I should try to press some in my flower press?
