yikes!!!! CHICKENS ARISE......... only 24%bought... .shattering Oct 3 2021 go chicks and cps.--- thanks for reminder. linda d
i hope dogfest didn't throw everyone too far off......
i thank all for so many complements. about how relaxxing and differrent crazy acres manages to be amid a world of turmoil ( now there is a dogs name in the chaos ---mayhem bloodlines. ) to keep th frm suspended above teh turmoil....we need help... sdp really needs to hire a retired handyman---bud and "lawn mowerr matt "do a terriffic job, but the whole place begins to take teh easy way out too often and stuff piles up in the wrong place... so you can not locate what you need... there is no difference between not owning something and not being able to find it.
i have decided the makerrs of plastic bins are subsidised by amazon.... too much stuff is too easily accumulated in a tidy fashion by pilineg up plastic bins..... however when you need somethg it is still easier-- and quickeer.. to do amazon overnight than to find what you already own.
here's a camera shot./place you can see the process... in action.....
when the canera swings to the donkey cafe--- note the accumulation allong the side of the yelloow shop-- not long ago i emptied that place and declared it to be a stuff free zone...... then then someone left a gate there---- and a few pitchforks.... then some fencing... perfect place for a ladder...... and we are off and running
ar one point the G tent. was totally empty.... then i realozed plywood would fit along the sides without taking up andy room at all... by now--- at dogfest-- we hardly had room to hang the quilts there it is sooooo ful.l"
definitely part of the "do i buy it and store it or rent it " philosophy -----
last time i had to go to "ozark tent" to get one for dogfest... the owner ( who i know pretty well). was not there... so i sat around and made phone calles etc-- he came home... and i told him how i had enjoy3d being in the peaceful organizartion of his perfect tent business...
there is another equally organized business i know of... camera mark's warehouse-- with his dartboards and poker chip business. it is orgaized to the hilt. problem is as he said last week... so much is stuck in seabound containers which are stuck in some chinese seaport.... this is a problem i have begun to run into for farm and fencing supplies... what was really shocking -- some tv statement that the. problem of the ship stuck in the suez canal. was just now ( september) beginning to clear up shipping lanes...
somhow i do not like my farm supplies dependent on the jellyfish blockage of teh shipping lanes. it is ok for walmart supplies-- we can live without plastic toys... and to have the polution that mqnufacturing causes is better off in. china... but my caesar salad harvesting euipment... i would like to have made here at home. i have enough trouble worrying about all theh bridgess my salad has to cross to get to boston.... and to get it thru th e. panama canal can have complications when teh pacific ocean is taller than the atlantic????? i think???? could make an awful mess if teh plug in teh canal misfires...

a couple people country wise commented on the shedding of oak branches..
.
We have oak tree that started doing the same thing last month. It looked like someone was pruning the oak by cutting footlong branches. It happened for a few weeks and then stopped. It was very strange and I never figured out what caused it. I did read on the internet that there is a phenomenon called “summer branch drop” where oaks will just drop branches. There doesn’t seem to be any consensus as to what causes it. I saw theories ranging from drought to heavy rain after prolonged drought (the later theory seems more likely since NH had been in a severe drought until this summer when we were inundated with rain, including several storms which dumped 3+ inches).
