Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Nothing wring with outhouses - as long as you are careful about black widow spiders. They seemed to target certain body parts.

You've never seen a black widow spider??? Come to my house tonight & I'll show you five just in my driveway. I'm pretty relentless about killing them, but they procreate like rabbits.

Saw one years ago in a fish tank that is it more than one reason to live out here

I'll never understand the facination with bottled water. Most of it is nothing more than tap water

our shallow well gets muddy from time to time .pretty sure a sink hole had collapsed last week.I run two filters on the refrigerator to be able to drink the water.I keep bottled water out in the egg refrigerator .Keeps it just right .And we never seem to drink enough water.Bottled water makes it easier to drink more .Not to mention the warnings that water companies put out from time to time . WARNING !!!!water quality down not fit to drink .Plus I load up a glass of ice use tap water first few sips taste good .Then the ice melts and all that good ice flavor mixes with the water.Ice takes on the flavor of what is in the refrigerator. And then city water taste awful.Who knows what is in there .Fill a glass leave it set .The fewer the sediments in a glass ,the better the watertaste.If the sediment layer is a lot ,find a cleaner water source.

Truly a case of 'bigger isn't better'.

And so it continues... School is closed starting Wednesday through the 27th. Schools are required to provide daycare for the elementary aged children of healthcare workers, so staff will still be required to be there. It will be interesting to see how our school manages that.

The Governor “expects” all support staff to be paid during the shutdown (is that a guarantee that we will be paid? I don’t know.)

We have determined that if the crazy of the big city where youngest DS and family live turns into dangerous crazy, DIL and the kids will come live with us while he puts in his last month as a paramedic there. They’re moving back to this area in May, anyway.

And the refrigerator i full of spring eggs .That is after feeding 6 dozen a week to the dogs.Time to cycle out the old layers that aren't producing .Guess I better go feed.
