May not seem much to you’uns, but I am not looking for tribal enrollment. It helps me explain why I talk to trees.

May you don't need to be an ndn to talk to trees. I like to talk to the "Kamerun" sheep of a nearby farmer. They are his green keeper and like to be fondled and feed with fresh bread. LOL.

And I wish I would understand the ravens who seem to talk to me in the early morning but I don't understand.

Subeeds I know your family dog will be missed. I hear a lot that people say they do not want another pet. Now is not the time to think about that. If I can remember, in about three months, I will mention to you about a pet. God bless you. Maneto our creator made that dog.

Happy New Year everyone! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. I think I only used my laptop twice over the whole break and didn't mess around on the net all that much either. Kept myself busy with plaster work in my house, parties, family in town for almost a week, and some lacrosse. Now to work off all of the food I consumed.

Ches, our dogs have always found us. Sparky was o exception. He came into our lives about 6 months after our golden had died. He lived down the road and wasn't cared for, so he ran away and came to us. With the exception of a puppy we gout our son when he was little, that's the way it's always been. A mistreated dog, somebody moving and couldn't keep their dog, we just seemed to be in the right spot at the right time. Here's a link to Sparky's story if anyone wants to read it. https://subeeds.wordpress.com/2008/07/12/got-a-dog/

Hang in there, subeeds. I sympathize. I was heart broken when Cobalt, my first Siamese princess, had to be put to sleep.

Had a big reply typed and touched the screen and lost it.
We gave rescued a lot of dogs and cats. Sue says that God gives them your address. We have had cats stolen and another one disappeared. For a long time and animal crossing ntrol caught her a few blocks from us with a collar on!

Anyone have a recipe for “Three sister’s soup”? I want a simple one. I live a spartan life.

[OLChemist]

There are several thousand recipes for three sisters soup and few hundred more three sisters and some in-laws, LOL.

Here are links to a few:

First Nations Development Institute's recipe

Chickasaw Nation website's recipe


These I've tried and enjoyed:

Simple this one is not. But, very good.

Tacobe's recipe

This recipe makes an epic quantity, but can be halved. To save time on the roasting and pureeing of the squash, I've cheated and used canned pumpkin or frozen butternut squash puree.

Mazopiya Market's recipe

[ches]

Thank you. The Chickasaw sounds easy. I am going to try that instead of I got online. It reminds me of looking for fry bread recipes and finding tons of recipes.

Hope everyone had a good New Year.

I know I haven't been as active in the past year or so. The past two years have brought a lot of change for me. Hope everyone has been well.

Hope and pray things go well for you this year. See if you can go to a pow wow.

I'm praying for a year with no more major infrastructure failures.

The day after I signed a contract to build a free standing studio, my 17 year old furnace died. Kiss my years bonus and then some to replace the heat and ac. Then over Christmas my household phone wiring went south, taking the alarm with it.

Ever tried to find anyone to fix home phone wiring? I'd have more luck finding someone to make wooden wagon wheels. Everyone who listed phone line/jack repair on their website will only do new installations. After 30+ phone calls, I got one electrician to come yesterday. Seventy five buck and the lines worked for 3.5 hours before the phones went back out, LOL. After two weeks, my alarm system has decided have a shrieking fit about losing communications with the monitoring center. I'm having to silence the system every couple hours.

I was going to replace the 25 year alarm system when the studio was finished anyway. The new systems are mostly cellular rather than land line. Once I replace the alarm. I think I may just go VoIP with a big honking UPS to keep things running during our way to frequent power outages. My cable company's system runs the phones through the cable modem and not the house wiring.

I'm currently sweating through tree removal. When I bought the house, there was a 40 ft pecan tree that had been allowed to grow up on line between my property and the city's brush and tree filled alley. It was a nice tree. Then three years ago, the electrical distribution company came in cleared the alley and trimmed (read butchered) the trees. They cut all the limbs on the west side of every tree all up and down the block; half my pecan tree was gone. Then a few weeks later, saplings and brush all along the alley started turning yellow and dying. It looked like someone had used an herbicide. The next summer my pecan was sick. It couldn't be saved. It is now just a menace.

The tree company is having to work from a lift truck in my neighbor's yard and cut the tree into 3 ft pieces and lower them to the ground. They have the boom threaded up between phone lines and cable lines. This is a scary process to watch.

Oh Lord, that is Murphy working and causing headaches and any other unwanted distress.

I pray with for no more failures of all sort.

Knocking on wood.

Wow. We're going to have a new entertainment. Contractor throw down matches over the limited street parking.

The house to the north of mine is having major work done. I'm having my studio built. And construction of a new home on vacant lot two doors down has begun. There is a pickup and chipper in front of mine. A flat bed trailer to the south. Five trucks from the folks working next door. Mixed in is overflow parking from all the bars and restaurants down on Magnolia.

I'm betting on the big guy carrying surveying gear.

[ches]

I hope things work when they get everything fixed and/or built. Hope the studio gets done the way you want it.
