We made our own candler. You buy a lamp kit at the hardware store. It's a very simple ceramic bulb housing with the electrical cord with a switch on the cord. Screw the ceramic bulb housing down to a scrap piece of wood. Find a ceramic plant pot with a drainage hole in the bottom. Screw in a light bulb and place the plant pot over it. The light will shine through the drainage hole, and the hole is the perfect size to rest an egg on. We actually made these with our 4-H kids a few month back. They work great, we have a few of them. The kids liked decorating the pot as well!

I'm so sorry! I used to work at a Community health clinic in Casper wy! I know how frustrating it can be! Hang in there! Prayers to you!!!

Casper, huh? I went to college in Billings and lived in Cheyenne for a short time.

Yep, moved there from Kennewick in 05 cause there were more jobs than people at the time. Worked for the CHCC for about a year then went to work for Baker Hughes Centrilift and got laid off there 2009. My BF didn't like the weather there so we moved back up here to the Valley (not sure it was a great idea) and so we've been back since Oct of 09. Casper's great if you don't have kids, my kids got in too much trouble there! Too much drinking and I was very concerned when the first night I pulled into town and there was this big billboard about Meth!!??? Ok let me retract that if you have teenaged kids! I had never been in a city that had billboards about meth. Anyway, my son couldn't stay out of trouble and is still there taking care of it! But, on the other hand I loved it cause theres not many people and it really is about 20 years behind, much slower way of life even in the city people close at 500pm not much open on the weekends, and eveyone is out hunting or fishing or some out doors thing! You just better be ready for -35 and blowing snow during the winter that lasts till april and the wind blowing all the time other wise!! I had a good time there really. Just couldn't grow anything there and my BF wanted to be self sufficient so we moved back up where it's a bit warmer!

oh yes, add me and DH to the sore muscle brigade

we got the fourth ore trough HALFWAY across the yard, decided to take a little break because things were starting to stiffen up on us (he pulls, I push)

and wouldn't you know it, by the time we had swallowed our aspirin and given it time to work ---- it started raining again

shooed the chicks back into the coop (they didn't want to go, but are learning, when I bang a couple of sticks together, it's time to coop up)

then struggled up the stairs to the house, collapsed into the chair ...

sure could use a bit more sun ...

hint ! hint !

tomorrow I will go bail out the fifth trough, and we will do our oxen imitation again, hauling the "wagons" to the promised land

on a lighter note, I did retrieve the aluminum framed window from behind the volunteer fir tree -- I think it will work very well as an access to the run -- need to measure it but it's about 4 feet high by 6 feet wide ... a side-slider but I can easily walk through the "opening" half; there is even still the screen for it, seems to be in good condition which is amazing considering it's been leaning against the outside of the hangar for fifteen years or so

I am glad I am not the only who who crams as many in as they can...I was afraid to do too much blocking as it might block air flow or something. But if you have done it and it works....then I am not going to worry so much about it.

and lets not forget that we DRINK BLEACH in our drinking water, and swim in it if you go in any public swimming pools/jacuzzi's/hot tubs etc..

Bolddog, i have heard of that too-- very dilute in a spritzer?

I hope she reads enough to see that some kind posters put up some helpful advice.

I cursed the day... I bought my first spring flowers and now the rain is coming down so hard it would drown a frog!!!! Well, at least it is not...s_owing! I don't even want to say that word!

I put my tomato plants out for some rain before I took my daughter to harp lessons this afternoon, came back 2 hours later, knowing there would be trouble here since the applesauce was coming down in Issaquah. The plants are all slumped over theit pots

I killed them, and now the applesauce is starting to stick.
