Thank you very much for the offer but afraid those are about 5 sizes too big for me 😂

Coffee and cereal today. Then shoe shopping. I need to find a pair of hiking sandals and some new tennis shoes. Shoes rarely survive more than a year of normal wear for me and all my old ones are going on 2-4 years now.... My good sandals have started making a hilarious whistling noise now though!

They probably weren’t interested. Chickens actually have better daytime vision than humans especially color vision. Most have poor night vision. Some breeds do have better night vision than others though.

Pictures of the strawberry bed from last February vs. today. It’s gone absolutely wild. It’s so thick in there that they’ve shaded and choked out all the weeds!

More storms today. I forgot my coffee this morning and now I’m paying for it. The brain fog is causing problems. May have to have some coffee with lunch instead

Usually not unless it’s cold outside. If it’s cold then they will hang out for the body heat. Otherwise they are pretty quick to skitter off. But they are pretty easy to tame as pets if you can get one into a terrarium. I’ve kept a few that were injured in the house for a few weeks before and...

I second trying to find O'Keefe's Working Hands or a similar product if it’s not available. If there’s nothing like that available try getting some very strong lotion and putting a large amount on and then putting on medical gloves and leaving them in there for a while. Basically soaking your...

Another round of storms moving in today. The lightning is almost nonstop out to the west but it’s all up in the clouds. Not the cloud to ground stuff we’ve been having the last few weeks.

The potatoes and onions are up. Some of the potatoes aren’t up yet and I don’t know if they are duds or just slow to emerge. The strawberries are in full bloom and the blueberries and blackberries are starting to bloom. The strawberries I planted in November 2020 may be the most prolific weed...

Had coffee and leftover pizza for breakfast. Now I’m trying to find the tums:gig

Coffee and an apple fritter this morning! I love apple fritters but it’s been about 5 years since I’ve had one. They are just as good as I remembered them being!

@Dirtmechanic are you alright? I know some of the storms would have been close to you last night.

We’re alright here! No serious damage. I’ve found the greenhouse and hauled it back to the house, we didn’t have anymore trees fall after the first and they have managed to contain the wildfire in the nearby town now that the storms are over. We never lost power but it flickered all night. Some...

We’ve had some impressive wind. The greenhouse has taken flight and a dead tree is down (no damage). Unfortunately something has sparked a wildfire in one of the nearby towns they’ve started evacuating the closest houses. We think it’s headed away from us but it’s spreading quick because of the...

It’s sunny and about 85 out. We’ve got sustained winds around 25 and gusts that are probably around 40 right now. The storms are about 4 hours away right now.

Thank you

No coffee this morning. I was nauseous all day yesterday and couldn’t figure out why and I don’t want to risk setting it off again. Just water and then I need to go batten down the hatches before the wind ahead of storms starts up. They are talking 50 or even 60mph wind gusts this afternoon...

So happy you were able to find a place so quick!

It’s edible. It may be a bit tough though. I personally haven’t tried it but I have considered it. Just be careful when picking it. In other words don’t eat it if it’s in an area that may have been sprayed with chemicals or where animals crap regularly.

The main lawn weed around here is wild onion/garlic. Between that and the clover it’s green almost year round here. We don’t use any herbicides on the lawn here though. It’s not worth the effort for us. I do miss the nice lawn we had when we lived in town though but lawn and landscaping service...
