mullein makes pretty good toilet paper. And the plants are good sized now. Big soft leaves.

We have maybe 50 Mullein plants on the whole place and it will likely bolt before our TP supplies run out. We have lots of Red Maple trees. There will be no use of Sycamore leaves on my watch, might as well be nettles.

More on mullein..... it has long been used to treat respiratory issues, asthma, pneumonia, viruses, bacterial infection. So this weed may be just what the world needs right now!

Got more done on on the she shed to coop conversion...





What a difference the larger opening makes in the temperature in there!

JT is a tired puppy and may coast a bit tomorrow...

How's everyone making out?

Had a confirmed case in my county over the weekend. We shut down the hardware store yesterday for two weeks. Not worth the it with the number of people we are exposed to every day.

I’m in platte county. I think there has been some cases but thank goodness the feed stores are still open. Even though the hardware store in Smithville hasn’t been able to get feed for weeks

Remember back when, Missouri officials said they expected to be able to do widespread testing by April?
It sounds like DHSS has to approve each request for testing. Forms must be submitted for each individual, then wait for approval. Then wait for results. It seems to me that if mild symptoms don't meet the criteria, we are going to see community spread that could be prevented with the promised widespread testing.

Following the link from that page it looks like it takes a phone call or two.

hello, just wondering who comes from missouri

:

I do. Been watching the spike in confirmed numbers of COVID 19 cases with amazement and alarm. Last week there were virtually none and since then the numbers have been going up by the day. Haven't heard if the governor has issued any guidelines yet.

A study recently done in Iceland shows that fully half of the people who test positive for COVID 19 are totally asymptomatic. These individuals can spread the disease and no one, least of all themselves, have any idea they are infected.
