@6thGenFloGrown Gosh I sure hope so! Crazy how much the area has changed!! Haven’t been down there since 2011.

@UCantFoolMom It’s too windy. Hopefully they can just keep it out of the neighborhoods

Good news! I just heard on the scanner the horses on stable way have all been evacuated.

@6thGenFloGrown Good to hear. Praying it’s under control soon

@UCantFoolMom No. It’s a few miles away

@iceberge80 Agreed, not their current healthcare plan.

@UCantFoolMom They should get Healthcare. At the infirmary, in prison.

If this is true, I am all for it!!!!!! Burn it to the ground! Start from scratch. We have the blueprint.

@JesterJum Celebrated 40 years last November, we’ve been together for 43.

Talking to a friend on here about his 24th anniversary and it got me thinking how rare staying committed to a single person for life really is. Who here can say they have been married to the same person for over 20 years? Cause that is impressive and something to be proud of!

@beadlizard7 @CrubersGate That’s what I use the 1/2 gal ball jars for - storing sugar!

@CrubersGate I have maybe two ounces of sugar? Should buy some and put it in jars just in case. Keep forgetting! I put it on the list.

Oh! I got 110lb of imperial sugar hoarded up 🤣 so we all good on that for two years of jelly and sweet pickles!!!

@EastTNMama My husband loves it but finally got the memo. I’ll take the small win.

Unpopular opinion- iceberg lettuce is worthless

@Nutmegbunny9 Continued prayers for this sweet baby and her family 🙏🏼

BABY ROSEANNE UPDATE Roseanne‘s dad just called to give me a complete update. Covenant Hospital transferred Roseanne to U of M Lansing. They were able to stabilize her, but there is no surgeon there that can do the surgery. They taught the parents how to do bowel irrigations every six hours and they will be discharged today to home on that schedule. She is then scheduled for an appointment next Wednesday at U of M in Ann Arbor. The only surgeon in this region that does the surgery is at U of M in Ann Arbor. Why she wasn’t transferred there to begin with I don’t know. Ann Arbor may have not had any pediatric beds available at the time. Next Wednesday when they have their appointment in Ann Arbor, they should get a date for surgery. It did take them a couple days to stabilize her because she had persistant vomiting. I am glad that Roseanne is doing well. I’m sure you can see by this story that things have not gone as they should have. The very first time they went to the emergency room at Covenant and got the diagnosis they should have been referred right at that moment to university of Michigan in Ann Arbor to a hospital that could do the surgery. I have no idea why no one told these parents that the surgeon at covenant could not do that surgery. That information was never relayed to them until after they arrived in Lansing. They thought they were going to surgery in Lansing and we’re not even told until they had been there over a day that there was no surgeon at the hospital that could do the surgery either. U of M in Lansing did discover that Roseanne has a problem with one of her kidneys too. They will continue to monitor that situation with ultrasounds. Please continue to pray for Roseanne. 🙏🏻

Most flowers take hours to refill their nectar after a bee visits. Borage refills in 2 to 5 minutes. It's essentially a pollinator buffet that never runs out. Bumblebees, honeybees, mason bees, and hoverflies find it, they stay, and they keep coming back all day. The flowers face downward to protect the nectar from rain. The sugar content is unusually high. It blooms from spring through first frost and self-seeds every year, so you plant it once and it returns on its own. The flowers are edible. They taste faintly of cucumber and look good in a salad or frozen in an ice cube. Scatter seeds somewhere sunny. Walk away. Come back in a few weeks and count how many things are on it.

@idontexistTore ✅. Signed. Thank you 🙏🏼

It’s very satisfying knowing you don’t have to completely rely on the grocery and big box stores every week for your food supply!

@6thGenFloGrown @Michell9704767 Fire ants or regular ants? 🐜

I read that orange oil diluted with water can take care of ants that are killing your plants. We shall see! I used 1 oz of oil in 1 qt of water.

@TriplePineAcres The stop blooming if they get too crowded or are planted too deep. If you were closer I’d gladly trade some rhizomes.

@UCantFoolMom I’d only ever gotten one iris a couple years ago, so this is an impressive output! I’m hoping they pop up new ones so I can move some landscaping around, they’re gorgeous

Yesterday evening’s walk around was good.

@DobermanStrong I miss them terribly but the best thing for my footing & stability was when my daughter moved into her new home taking the Dobermans. Thankfully I still get to dog sit them whenever I want. 😂🐾🥹

@UCantFoolMom They totally are. Until this happens. It has to me several times. 😆

Don’t talk 💩 to a Doberman. Wait for it. 👀😆 #DobermanPinscher #Doberman🇺🇸

Here is hugelkulture with just the wood the soil in the right is ready to add on top. Then I plant and cover with straw.
