Raised bed vegetable garden

I’ve been planning this project since the middle of winter. With soaring food prices I couldn’t have picked a better year.

Stinky urine and poor diet?

I’m going to talk about pee, and if you can’t handle it – go and answer the newest question in entertainment or something.
I am a college student, live alone, and I don’t always eat. By no means is this not eating thing a textbook eating disorder because I desire to be thin and glamorous. I am above average in the weight department and I am a-okay with it. I just straight up forget to eat, between being a full time college kid and 3 farm jobs (training horses and general farm labor) I come home, take the dog for a walk, and go to bed and put off eating until the next day. When I do eat, Its good stuff (most times) such as grass-fed organically raised meat, and some pasta of some sort.
I have noticed for the last 2 weeks I have had quite stinky urine, bordering after asparagus and toilet bowl cleaner smell (no, its not the cleaner I smell, I peed in the woods the other day and it still stank)
Lucky for me, I get fed at work, I had a delicious lamb, pasta, and raw goats milk (my fave!) and this morning I was back to scentless urine (yes, after the discovery of this I have been sniffing the pot)
I was curious whats causing the bad urine smell, I suspect its some sort of concentrated mixture of what I have in my body, but I am curious more about it on the physiology side (I can’t help it, biologist here)
Also, yes, I know this is a crappy way to live and I swear its not purposeful, its just the way it happened out to be these last few weeks.
Please don’t get the raw cows milk drama mixed up with raw goats milk. Its fine and dandy for you.

Comment on my book please and rate It 1-10 xx?

‘Emma come here right now’ Susan shouted,she was 40 years old and quite frankly sick of tidying up after her kids she had pale blond hair and a small fragile body,she leaned down picking up yet another plate of the floor. She thought she had raised her children to be respectful and obedient but after 15 years she was starting to realise that that was not the case. She stood up straight and gave Emma a look as she came trudging down the stairs. The look on her face said It all she was angry and frustrated ever since Mike had left her she had been working twice as hard just so that they would be able to keep their house and she expected more help and support around the house but obviously the children didn’t understand that.

It was a sunny day and I could feel a warm glow on my body,the sky was baby blue and I breathed in the scent of freshly cut grass as I sat In my garden under the apple tree. I heard my mum once say that this was where my dad proposed to her and she had never been happier,of course that didn’t matter now,he had left them over 2 years ago and It didn’t look like he was coming back. I dwelled on that for a few minutes and than closed my eyes again Imagining what It would be like to go back to that time where everyone was happy and It felt like nothing could ever change that. My mind was drifting and I could feel myself getting lost In my thoughts until my mothers piercing voice woke me up,judging by her recent behaviour she was In no mood for games so I quickly stood up,pulling my skirt down and started walking down the steps Into the house.
Looked like I was right, by the look on her face I knew It was no time for playing around
‘On It mum’ I danced across the room,grabbed the plate and managed to avoid slipping on the mess on the floor. Susan sighed and sat down on the couch rubbing her hands together,winter was coming,she could smell it and she wasn’t sure If they would make It through this time,after all It was so unpredictable,scorching hot one day freezing the next.

Emma went up to her room,she sat on her bed and cuddled her pillow tracing around the embroidery with her fingers,she was annoyed at her mum for making her feel guilty ,her dad for leaving and the rest of the world simply for the way it was,she looked up facing the mirror and studied her face,her features were sharp,her black hair was covering her dark green eyes and as she looked down she noticed how big she had gotten,she had really grown these past few months,she was almost as tall as her brother Aaron.As If on cue he entered the room he shut the door behind him and leaned again the wall ‘You done packing?’ he looked around the messy room and cleared his voice ‘Stupid question’

For all teenagers. What do you think of my writing?

Jack Summerfield sauntered out of his bed, unable to sleep from the two cups of coffee he sipped in front of the TV before he placed his head at the pillow. After climbing down the stairs with a slow, dreamy pace, he found himself standing outside of his two storey house.

He breathed in deeply, raising his wide, bare chest and hoped that his wife, Janet was with him. He hadn’t seen her for three weeks now. Although he struggled to convince her to remain at their house after delivering their first baby, Janet refused and went to her mother.

Feeling that he needed to run, Jack tossed his slippers and darted down the grass. It was wet and slippery against his feet, but he couldn’t stop running. He smiled with his check bones pressing against his eyes, opened his arms as if hugging the sky, and jogged forward. He never had this feeling of freedom in his long, forty five years. It was as if he wanted to fly.

An engine droned behind him. Jack stopped and turned, narrowing his eyes. A few meters, at the borders of his garden, a black jeep parked and a man stepped out of it. From a distance jack saw him as a tall slender, shadow with a knee-high, black coat ruffling behind him. He walked into the garden with his head drooped forward. His slow pace allowed jack to examine his pale face which glowed with sweat against the faint light of a lamppost , carefully.

“ Sorry for disturbing you sir,” he said stopping a few centimeters from Jack.

“ Do I know you?” Jack said, as he crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows.

“ I guess not sir, but someone sent me to…” while he placed a hand at his mouth and cleared his throat, he tugged out a red card with a silver skull drawn in the middle of it. Under the skull, someone signed his name with a black ink.

After a minute of turning the card and examining the handwriting, Jack turned the card back to the man with a grin in which he kept his lips pressed. “ Fine, I understand. He wants you to kill me. We already planned it, but he didn’t tell me that he’ll send a nice man like you in the middle of the night to do it for him.”

“ I’m sorry sir, but it’s orders. If you like me to it secretly inside of the house, I’d have no problem.” he looked behind him and cleared his throat once again, this time with a harsher grunting sound. “ and don’t worry about the body and the signs, everything will be clean.”

Jack nodded and he flopped to his knees. Slowly, he unbuttoned his white, stripped pajama shirt and laid it beside him on the grass. His back bones clasped inwards as the cold air blew across his body, hoisting with it the pajama’s shirt.

Jack drooped his head forward and closed his eyes. “ do it fast, please.”

After searching his memories, he finally found the one which would console him the best before his death. He was sitting with Janet on the sand, the water of the ocean wielding in front of them. After squeezing her husbands bony hand, she pressed it against her chest and smiled at Jack. “ I’m pregnant.”

Jack’s eyes widened and he gasped. It was his wish. Since he was five, he always wanted to be a daddy. Slowly, jack kneeled towards his wife and wrapped his arms around her neck. “ Thank you,” he kissed her on the neck and they fell on the sand, the heat of the sun forcing them to press their eyes closed as they laid on their backs.

“ ready?” the man asked as he held in his hand a red handled magnifying glass.

Jack nodded. A red thunder streaked forward out of the magnifying glass and smacked Jack at the top of his back. After shaking briefly, he dropped on the side of his head, with his blue eyes open and his mouth drawn into a soft smile.
