Home Brewing Beer With Your Old Pal Soupbean
Hey everyone! Soupbean here! Lets face it; winter is coming up and we need to be ready. Stock up on plenty of water, cold medicine, blankets, canned foods, and other non-perishable items.
Don't forget to have a hobby to take your mind off of the cabin fever if you were to be snowed in.
If you are 21 or older I find that homebrewing is a great little hobby to pass time;releive stress and relax the scences whether it be beer or homemade wine.
It is just a relaxing past time wether its winter or not !! There are several Homebrew kits you can purchase here online that are very afordable and efficient.
I suggest if you are a beginer to start with a small micro brewery to polish your skills then move on to a larger set up. I will be getting back to this hobby and Subject in later posts !!
Have A Wonderfull Day, Soupbean

Helpful Hints To Have A Funfilled Safe Spooktacular Halloween
Well folks, fall is here and you know what that means; its about time for the ghosts, gouls, and goblins to start roaming the streets in search of their Halloween candy. Heres some tips to keep the little goblins safe this yea:r:
1 .Wear something shiney ( Alot of times people will be driving with the trick or treaters walking on the road. This will make it alot easier for them to be seen -even if its just a neon strip of tape on the back of their costume.)
2. A small flash light (Equip them with a small flash light. This can come in handy in locating one if they may get seperated from the pack.)
3. Trick or treat in groups with an adult chaparone.
4. Always check the candy to make sure its safe before eating it. Check wrappers to make sure they haven't been opened- then sealed back.
Throw your own Halloween party. Have fellow parents get together to chip in with candy and refreshments. Pop in some scary movies or Haloween cartoons ,listen to scary music,tell ghost stories, have a costume contest, and give out small prizes.
Just a few tips from your ol pal Soupbean to help make Halloween a safe and funfilled night.

Camping with Soupbean (what to take along on a camping trip)
Hello everyone! Sorry for the delay on this post. Soupbean hasn't been feeling to well. But no worries, I'll pull out of it.
While I've been down, I was thinking that when I get to feeling better I would like to go camping before the snow hits!! This is really a beautiful time of the year to go camping; but you might want to pack along a few extra blankets for the night air chill.
If you decide to tent camp, heres a few things to take along with you if you decide to go camping yourself:
1. Cowboy coffee maker (as seen in one of my older posts) or a jar of instant coffee.
2. A pocket or hunting knife.
3. Small hatchet.
4. Childproof lighter or matches. ( Keep matches in a zip lock bag so they will not become damp with moisture.)
5. A trusty tent.
6. Some canned food items and a manual can opener.
7. Small pot and skillet. Plus some basic cooking utensils(spoons,forks,etc).
8. .Sleeping bags and extra blankets.
9. A jug of drinking water or canteen.
10. A tarp to put down under your tent before you put it up. This keeps the bottom of your tent from drawing moisture and rotting .By doing this it will ensure that your tent has a longer life span.
These are just some basic take alongs. Theres still more you can consider taking with you.
Hope they help you out on your camping trip this season. God Bless.

Soupbeans Gardening Tips Part Two
Hey everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful day. I've been out this morning enjoying the brisk fall air and the peace and tranquility of the autumn leaves slowly falling to the ground.
I've been pondering what all I have learned over the years from my grandparents and parents about gardening to leave you some more gardening secrets and tips. So heres you a few more that will help you out on the farm and in the garden.
Question-What do you do with that old dryer lent that builds up after drying clothes? Throw it away? Heres a way it can actually be a benefit to you and your garden. Take your dryer lent and dig it into your garden or flower soil. The lent actually collects and holds in moisture. So if there is a dry spell, your plants will be able to feed from this moisture. This gives them a better chance of survivng the dry period.
Another helpful hint - What do you do with the water that drips from your home air conditioner units? Just pour it out? Take this and use it to water your plants. This water is high in acidity and is very good for the garden. You will see great results while using this method .
I hope you have a wonderful blessed day ....Soupbean :-)

Soupbeans Gardening Tips Part One
Hello everyone! Hope all is well. I'm Soupbean. Care to come in have a cup of coffee,kick back,relax and hear about some handy tips for your garden?
I've been gardening since I was little. My grandparents and parents would garden every year and I would always help. It was hard work but worth every minute.
Gardening has always made me feel at peace and at the end of the day it gives me a great feeling of accomplishment. So I figured I'd share some gardening secrets I picked up along the way.
Question - What do you do with your used coffee grounds after brewing a pot of coffee? Throw it away?
Heres a better idea. Take them out and spread them up close and around your tomato and pepper plants. No need to dig it into the soil; just every time you water your plants pour the water over the grounds. This is a gauranteed way to enhance your plants quality and yield.
What about the left over coffee? Personally, I normally drink the pot dry. But if you have a little left over you can delute it with about a half a gallon to a gallon of water and use this to water your garden plants.
Now what about tea? Whether you have instant or brewed tea, an unfinished cup can become quite the source for fertlizer. Simply delute it with a half a gallon to a gallon of water.
The acidity in all this makes your garden thrive and the plants just love these methods.
May you be blessed and have a wonderful day Soupbean :-)
P.S. Another quick secret, try singing or humming soft uplifting notes while in your garden. The plants enjoy this and tend to give a better yield. Plus, it is a great way to releave stress and relax :-)

Old Timey Cowboy Coffee
Hello there everybody! I hope everyones day is starting out nicely . I have my coffee brewed and was setting here thinking about the great invention of the primitive coffee maker - aka cowboy coffee. Don't get me wrong . I'm not knocking the electric perculator. Its a grand invention; but let me tell you about some of the reasons why it pays to have a primitve coffee maker as well.
If the electric goes out do to a snow storm,power outage, or whatever the cause then you will find out that having one of these pays off . You can use them by simply setting them on a wood stove,coleman propane stove, or on an outdoor grill or camp fire.
They are very light weight and easily packed when not in use making these excellent for a hunting trip and can be cleaned with a little soap and water. They do not use a paper filter making your favorite coffee brand a little stronger. All you need to use one of these is a heat source. Like I said ,even a campfire will do coffee and water.
I tend to watch mine and when it starts to perc (you can tell this by the clear see through peice on the lid) it will begin to bubble. Watch the bubble. The darker it is the stronger the coffee. I let it go about 10 more minutes and it produces a morning pick me up like no other. It really brings out all the coffee flavor....
These can be purchased at various websites.
I hope you have a truly blessed and safe day!!! Soupbean :-)

A Early Sunday Morning
Hello every one! Its your old pal Soupbean here. Up early on this beautiful Sunday morning. I just put on a nice pot of coffee and it has already filled my home with the most richest aroma.
I take a step outside; its very quite and peaceful. The only noise is the birds singing their sweet songs and my cat greeting me hello with a slight nudge. I am really appreciative to be alive and to wake up to these mornings filled with song,
This morning I'm also pondering the plans on my cabin project I have yet to start; but will in the near future; whether to go with a complete A frame or a ranch style nestled away on a flat in the woods with a old timey log fence outlining the flat. It will be a small home away from home to take my family or to go hunting with freinds so we can have some venison to put in the freezer for winter. I have already been freezing back garden foods such as corn, tomatos, and green tomatos. Really to be honest, when I'm growing the garden and at the end of the season; harvesting, freezing, and canning gives me a relaxing feeling. Whatever worries I have leave me and I'm at peace with myself .
Well I'im off to have a hot cup of coffee and to read a couple of pages in my small Bible which I tend to do every morning. .." I hope every one has a blessed day."

Introduction
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Joe or Soupbean as you may call me.
I love to wake up early in the morning, have a nice hot cup of coffee, and a very delightful glazed doughnut while setting in my upstairs study looking out at the morning sky coming to birth .Its beauty overwhelms me and always seems to bring me to ponder about various things in life and what it has to offer.
The beauty of nature like the birds singing, the smell of the pine trees as they"re relaxing aroma gently blows by riding the wind, chipmunks scurrying in the yard, a doe deer and her fawn having a peace of corn in the near by garden; these are the things that are often taken for granted.
I ponder all things in general and was thinking today I would share my thoughts with whoever would be intersted in them. So I started this blog and plan to update it often with thoughts and experiences about life with its ups and downs and all it has to offer.Thank you for stopping by. May God bless you and I hope you all have a wonderfull peaceful day :-) For any down home country gift giving that you would like to do you should check out this wonderfull gift site - http://www.pasttimes.com/
