The regional rate boxes only save you money if the package weighs more. From here the regional rate A boxes costs the same as a 2lb package to send; if it fits in the box and weighs over 2 lbs I save some money. The regional rate B boxes costs the equivalent of a 3 lb package. And yes, they have to be done online and you can only get the boxes if you order them from USPS - you can't get them at the PO. So that can be a problem for many.

packages to Bhep, Coop Scoop and Babymakes6 are ready to go out tomorrow- will PM Dc numbers

Taking my rooster to the PO, they have been begging to see him and I did not get to do it last week.

I owe someone the coconut oil for making soap. It is boxed up but I have to find the address.

Found it- oil going to WestKnollAmy

I have a couple of indoor cactus but nothing to trade. I do have some prickly pear cactus in my garden (zone 5) that originally came from South Dakota that I would be happy to trade. It is getting late to root new starts but there are a few places where they have rooted that I could dig and would be confident that they would be fine going into winter. Here are a couple of pics:

does anyone have information on showmanship for the poultry shows - an example video.

my daughter is going to try it at the show this sunday.

we have been working with her birds trying to pick the best behaved one but since this would be her first time

I thought it would be good for her to kinda know what to expect.

I have looked at some videos online but they were 4-H showmanship not sure if thats the same as at a poultry show.

When I reuse my boxes I wrap them in the brown packaging paper and have not had a problem.

I'm at work so I didn't watch this video, but it might be what you are looking for.
