Arkanature Welcome All! My name is Krystal Dawn, I’m a Mother of 5. This is the page for all things Nature here in Arkansas. Maybe some homesteading and homemade things. Lol.

Could also include a rescue or two, or three.

Finally got to see a neurologist today and his jaw dropped when he heard I have five kids instead of one and compared me to octomom. Like what? 😂 He said it’s rare to have that many today. I said well I came from a really big family and he said well you just made it bigger. He just kept going on about it and said I’m strong and this and that and was just so surprised how I’m doing all this with all the symptoms I’m having. I’m not super mom. 😂😂😂 And then said ma’am you also look 19 not 33…. He said do you feel 33? I said no I feel way older. I was a little creeped out though because like what…

Here’s a stray I’m caring for. I have two of my own and also caring for two strays and I’m struggling a lot especially with food but I’m hanging in there. I contacted every rescue in my area and on the outskirts and absolutely none of them can take this old man in because they are so full. In the past I have gotten around 8 strays into rescues and loving homes from this property I live on now. I’m the only one around here who cares. This old guy started coming up to me almost two months ago now and was so skinny and smelled like death. He started to have blood and mucous coming from his mouth and nose. I tried and tried and tried to get him help with no luck. He only has four teeth and at first we thought he wasn’t eating because he was dying but turns out he just needed soft foods. Sometimes he chokes. I have recently started him on antibiotics and I know how much of a risk that is when it’s not prescribed but it was an emergency and with no money or help I had to think fast as that death smell came back and he was panting as if he was in pain. About four days in and now he’s laying out on the porch instead of hiding and waits on his next meal. I’m hoping to see more improvement soon. I’m thinking about naming him Jonesy. ❤️❤️❤️

I just saw something about someone having some smelly rotten eggs that didn’t make it through mail in time and it triggered a memory lol. Years ago, when I was a child, I stole an egg from some neighbors. (Sorry🥴) I just wanted to hatch a baby chick! Well I had this bunk bed and hung my lamp from underneath it and made a basket out of who knows what at the time 😆. I put the egg into the basket with the lamp over it and a few days later I woke up to the most horrible smell ever! All of my family members went running out of the house gagging and freaking out. 😩 I turn over and see that the egg had rotted and exploded everywhere! 😬😬😬 My Mom flooded the house in mothballs and that didn’t even take away the smell. I’m telling you, that smell was from one end of the house to the other. Lesson learned, don’t steal. 😂😂😂

My kiddos painted pumpkins last night and then decorated Halloween cookies. Trying to find an activity to do every night up until Halloween. The 26th will my my youngest baby’s Birthday and she will be 5. She’s really in to K Pop DH but I was surprised when she asked for a Halloween themed birthday party. 😆

Not a big fan. It tastes like the smell of a freshly powdered carpet that’s just been vacuumed. Or did I somehow end up with a bad batch? 🥴
