WOW. we don't get UPS or FedEx on Saturdays even, and NOTHING on Sundays. I know there are city deliveries for those trucks on Saturday and sunday. Actually, here, USPS uses UPS for deliveries, at least they use their planes under contract to haul mail and packages.
All ours do. And the vehicles are in terrible condition. No heat, no AC, bad tires, barely road worthy. I'd gladly go back to just picking up mail once a week at the post office if they'd just do it. I don't get anything but professional magazines and junk anyway.
Our rural routes are brutal...
I have one of those security slot mailboxes, cause you know, country theft. She doesn't like it either. She has to fold mail and it slows her down...I'm telling you.....nuts she drives me.
We don't even have informed delivery here.
Our mail lady loathes getting out of the car. I even put up an extra large SHED for her to deliver packages in so she doesn't have to walk the extra 50 feet to the front door from the driveway. She B!tche$ about the shed being a pain. SERIOUSLY...
I've just given up and just feed the bugs. The bug sprays make me a jittery mess or I break out in hives. The homemade/natural stuff either doesn't work, or triggers an allergy attack too.
I spent all day yesterday cleaning out the garage and the gator and the workshop. I'm paying for it today with my sinus'.
I also pulled a giant trick while cleaning bits out of my car, the black, metal, hidden latches in my truck for the back seats apparently are SHARP. I caught one with the...
Well, my Doric is minimal- which makes my Fife friends sad, and my Scots Gaelic is non-existent, much to the tears of my Isle of Lewis friends. My Glaswegian, well, I can fully understand it, but no chance I can keep up my end of a conversation. My family hails from around Edinburgh and...
OH NO! Should have hollered at me in April. I usually do up 100-500 plants each spring. I could have set some aside for you.
Since I lost the greenhouse with the hail this year, and it's being replaced with a hay shed, I'll only be putting up enough for my own use from here on out as the...
Inch in 15 minutes while I was in the city. Nothing fell at the ranch.
Seriously, the ragweed in the garden is winning. Annoying as heck.
We made the littles outdoor run larger. They're almost big enough for the big coop, but I'd like them to discover it's location and explore it on their...
Mine free range 8 acres, but we still have to supplement feed with drought and 6 months of the year not free ranging. The coop and run have to be huge for airflow and warmth and entertainment value when the blizzards come.
My neighbor spent $500 his first year, found out he loved it, started and registered a business for honey invested another $1000. Year 3, got stung, for the billionth time, but the was his overload point, he dropped. Spent two days in hospital, now carries an epi 24/7. The bees are now gone...
As long as they make the switch and the new ingredients clearly KNOWN. When Kraft Mac and cheese switched out their red and yellow dye for the cheese for tumeric, it wasn't listed (then) and just said spices, but I didn't know they even switched it so didn't even look for SPICES on the label...
Here, it's super expensive, as hives only have a 50% chance of living through the spring, and then only 50% of those make it past wax moth season or raiding season.
It can be as expensive as you make it.
I didn't find it time consuming.
Unless you collect swarms on your own, a nuc will cost...
Added pellets to the chicken run.
DH removed a snake from one of the field traps (you have to be a Darwin award winner as a snake to get caught in one of these traps, sigh)
The littles are out running amok.
The ragweed is winning in the garden, thanks Scotts mulch Co.
The mowing took me 5 hours...
90 miles west of me 7 inches of rain yesterday. here almost nothing.
UGH
Oh well.
Foggy and 75 at the moment
First 3 giant blackberries of the season went into DH last night.
3 juicy hornworms into one tiny pullet last night as well. EW
