I ate the best herbs on my salmon and baked potato!

I forgot how good fresh herbs taste.

I wish I had your weather. We're still in the middle 50's and rain

It was really fun being in the path of totality a few years ago. Have FUN!

It’s getting fun with all the businesses, fairgrounds and everything planning something. It’s basically going to be jam packed with activities all weekend leading up to the eclipse. Schools are cancelled that day. They are expecting a lot of traffic.

Now, the weather needs to cooperate.

Nah, you don't. We swing back and forth too much. As far as we go over normal, we'll swing back that far below normal. It's hard on your body.

That's where I'm at already & it's only been going for like 7 hours. I do like to make the bones soft enough so the chickens will eat them all, but I'm sick of babysitting it, my stove sucks. It's boiling one minute then it's forming a film on top the next. I can't maintain a nice simmer with my stupid glass top stove.

I make bone broth in my Crockpot/slow cooker. No need to watch it, 12 hours on low is enough.

Yep. It was fun. They cancelled classes, not school. And there were plenty of parties. We were cloudy, right up until it started, and then we cleared up. It was fun.

Mouse report. 2 in live trap in garage. I say bait not killing them. Maybe I should keep one and feed it the homemade bait.

I mixed 50/50 baking soda and a sweet corn flour mix and put it on a small plate and put it by my fish food. Something made a hole in my fish food bag, so I took action.

This morning, I notice footprints on the baking soda/ flour mix and some of the mix was on the floor. I am pretty sure if it was a mouse, it's not going to make it.

This is how I got rid of the rats outside.

This is my first-time fruiting pineapples, I didn't think it would fruit, since it only gets early morning sun light. I have four more plants in my back yard that I can fruit. I just spread some organic fertilizer around the plants and will wait a week before I hit them with the calcium carbonite.
