The Old Folks Home

Thank you. I feel much better.

I just finished scaling Mount Snow, through the Pass of Caradhras, to fill the wild bird feeders.

The cats and the birds should be pleased.


Under the giant pile of snow in front of my house is my kitchen garden.



I think I'll wait another week to start my tomato seeds.

Just a week?

We got rain yesterday, none today, tomorrow in for a lot more rain. We are having major flooding up north near the Idaho border. Poor folks. :/
 
It was gorgeous outside today

excellent way to repurpose... when I move back home I will probably do a water trough pond so I can plant some edible water plants

Even Gold fish live as long as Koi.... Love em. I keep Gold fish in the horses water trough. They keep the insects in line. Never have to feed them because they graze on the algae on the walls of the tub and eat any mosquitoes. In 110 gallon I start with about five.

My neighbor Tom used to have a big galvanized stock pond around six feet in diameter.... about two feet deep and it was stocked with gold fish and Reeds and cattails .... The frogs just showed up one day....

I don't feed my fish. They eat insects and algae. If you feed them they start coming to the surface whenever they see a shadow, thinking they're going to get fed. A predator could snap them up.
