We've got the shoe factory from Jumanji (1995) and the school from the book The Tommyknockers.
Give em a good wash and use them as seed containers, whether for single plant species or for mixes
We got ours from a larger farm nearby a few years ago - they had purchased a soy based fertilizer and the distributor didn't have any return/recycle incentives so the farmer was selling them on the cheap. I think we found the guy through the farm & garden craigslist section but I can't really speak to how reliable that is anymore. If you've got a winter farmers market around you it might be worth asking around there (I'm loathe to suggest fb marketplace but if you're already there that might be convenient as well)
We have solar panels and a backup battery for when the grid goes down. Our panels generate more than we generally use (we overbuilt on purpose) but we could run almost indefinitely as long as the panels are clear. There are two totes hooked up to a gutter on the back of our garage which provide 550 gallons of water storage that we use to water gardens and top up our duck pond. The ducks and chickens do most of our insect maintenance in the gardens.
I'm working on additional shelving in our cellar in order to be able to store more of our canning from the gardens; most of the material is reclaimed pallet wood from a nearby business. We've also got two slightly damaged solar panels that I'd like to use to circulate the water in the duck pond - pump and lift to flow through some uphill garden space back down to the pond after it's been filtered by the plants - and to provide some power to the bird coop for water heaters and maybe a light source.
Those spare instruments on the walls aren't just for me, you know
I can see why it's your favorite, this is beautiful
Probably a double yolk, but that's based on the ~30% increase in weight and with no concrete information on age or breed. Our girls will sometimes lay double yolks of about the same increase in size and weight (even our ducks) but as long as she's eating and drinking normally it's unlikely to be anything to be concerned about.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one officer stated that the current pool of suspects include anyone with any sort of knowledge of UHC's method of making money. "We'll proceed with the operation's scheduling as soon as we receive pre-authorization, but of course," he said, "pre-authorization is obviously not a guarantee that a given service will be covered."
Thank you 🫂.
We were listening to the album Kerplunk today and she was kicking her knees to the beats, it's definitely my kid 🤣
😂 he's got a double coat, and his winter coat is coming in
We had to say goodbye to our cat, Maeko, this past Friday. Vet confirmed that her kidney function was dropping, and she had lost over half her body weight in the past two weeks. Meds might have stabilized her but wouldn't have given her much more than another month, and at reduced quality. I haven't had a decent night's sleep since before Thursday, I keep waking up and reaching for her.
She didn't require sedation, so we got to say goodbye to the real her and not someone halfway gone. And she got to go in my lap, getting her belly rubbed just the way she liked and purring. But I'm still hurting, even though I'm glad she doesn't hurt anymore.
Just trying to focus on the positives, like how our eleven week old daughter rolled herself over this evening, has a huge smile for me all the time, and watches my every move when I'm in the room with her no matter what else is happening.
We're having some trees removed soon (they're dying and leaning towards our house) so today I spent some time carefully relocating some volunteer lowbush blueberry plants from where the heavy machinery will be working.
What's growing on with you all?

OP replies "that's a great observation, Shawn! Great job!" with a heart emoji]
Obligatory pedantry:
We would also accept "soil", since we're talking about the life in the mineral earth

It's roughly fifteen minutes to the grocery in town, but thirty to the one with twice the size and selection. Certain items we prefer to pick up in bulk at a store that's forty minutes away, but that trip happens maybe twice a month
