The Old Folks Home

with oodles of duct tape
Gorilla tape is better for most anything the silver duct tape was used for in the past. It would probably even work on ducts, official duct tape is really bad at sealing ducts.

five yr old boy went out awhile later and picked it, boy did he get in trouble with the girls lol.
Looks to me like he saved that flower! It would have been knocked down by the snow.
 
Diva -- There's some mattress company that had a TV ad that stated that due to debris and mites and dander that the average mattress doubles in weight every 8 years. I had to laugh at that statistic because in that case we had about 3 tons of mattresses at Mom's house.
I saw that commercial :sick
I lived in my grandma's house for a for a couple yrs after high school. Her mattresses were like that, she was a pack rat, saved everything. I stacked mattresses almost to the ceiling to sleep on once, bet I was sleeping on 10tons of mites and dander lol.

Diva, we got super thick memory foam mattresses, no need for a box spring. They were compressed vacuum sealed and easy to get into the rooms.
Can't get a box spring up our stairs the way they're built, when we moved here it was puzzling trying to fit them up. Hmm, there was beds upstairs when we looked at the place?...
Then after careful investigation I figured out we had to dismantle a upstairs window and pass them through...
 
Our garden is ready. We've planted a few tomatoes, squash, zucchini, bell peppers, and egg plant. We're aiming for a fall garden, but decided not to let it go to waste in the meantime.

I cleaned all the feeders, and water buckets with soap, and water yesterday morning. Dh had started raking out the hay from the coops, and putting it on the garden. By the time he got to the last set of coops and run, he was worn out. I raked it. He loaded it into the wagon, hauled it out, and spread it in the garden, then came back for more, as I continued raking. We got it done.

Thursday is when I'm to re-spray, and re-dust my chickens. Normally I wouldn't put down any more hay until winter. When I get done spraying, and dusting, I'm going to put down a thin layer of hay. The used hay will be raked up, and put on the garden to further enrich the soil.

Have a great day everyone:love
 
I have my own queen sized bed , which i share with up to 2 cats. My little dog is too small to jump that far up and the big one sleeps in her dog crate. So i have plenty of room.
I'm a little embarrassed to say I sleep with a grown man, 3 dogs & a cat in my bed.:oops: That also makes for a lumpy crowded space.
 
Hey! I got a "Likes" trophy yesterday. Thanks, guys! :D

Also a notification that it has been 8 years that BYC has lit up my screen. Time flies when you're having fun!

Ron -- A wondrous story. Seriously, though, very few remember their threshhold experiences and in such vivid detail. The old guys most likely sent you back because you were too innocent and naive. Most likely a different scenario now, eh? ;) I wonder if they send old women to fetch we gals?

My folks were both children of the Depression and never threw anything away if it had an nth of utility to it. I swear, those mattresses were just one decade above being stuffed with straw and moss.
(IMHO, get a new mattress. Let the remainder of your slumber years be blissful. If not feasible for a new mattress, you can get a pillow topper or gel topper. $.02)

My garden doesn't know what it's doing. We're still having heckawinds (my term for a dessicating and relentless April weather bane of this state), so don't want to set out any transplants until sometime in May when they abate. The peas have come up, but they aren't growing for some reason. Normally they're climbing the trellises by now, but they've been small and shrubby. Cool weather crops just aren't thriving, except for the overwintered garlic which is now providing yummy scapes. My gro-light plantings -- alas -- have suffered due to inattention (so many other projects!) and so I may have to purchase peppers and eggplant seedlings this year. However, I have a nifty crop of unknown volunteer tomato plants coming up in the peas, so I'll probably transplant those over to the sauce bed. Canning surprise!
The orchard, though, is going bonkers as we had a lot of warmth early this year, so nearly every tree has oodles of fruit on it except for one very early-blooming apricot that found a frost shortly thereafter. Most of the fruit is sticking, so will have to thin it later.
So much to do... If I ever won the lottery my first indulgence would be to get garden minions!
I wonder too!

the whole experience changed the way I feel about death for sure.

I hope you can get that garden going! I hope it does not get too hot here this summer.

I need to get the chicken yard cleaned up too. Rain seems to be over for now here
