      FTP for Hump Day the 29th of April.

      Hold on to your hats today!

      Quiet day. We have our first buyer for our first hatch of chicks! Our daughter. She decided to spend her own money to buy some of the chicks she hatched, because they come from some of her favorite hens.

      We have water overflowing the banks of our trout stream on the north side of our property. Luckily, and purely by accident, I had placed several loads of sod in some low spots next to the old cement crossing point, so instead of washing out the trail it flooded all the low land upstream.

      I’ve been watching a lot of wood turning videos on YouTube. My grandpa had a lathe when I was growing up, and he let me use it when I was old enough – with him helping. I don’t think I ever made anything from start to finish on my own, but I do know I helped turn a lot of table legs. Now that I have a shop on our property, I’m thinking I may need to get one of my own. Looking at prices, I wonder how much something like my grandpa had would cost now. I know he had a planer and other things I see in the videos. I’m sure I could make some cache containers too.

      The best sig is no sig.

        Got the mower out on Monday. It’s making a grinding sound and doesn’t move in reverse. Going to take it in to the shop today. The grass should be about 2 feet tall by the time I get the mower back.

          Buy some ear plugs, grinding problem solved. Take only right hand turns, works for UPS, should work for the mower. Saved you a trip to the shop 😉 I’ll send the invoice

            I took it to the shop anyway.

              Working from home, I’ve fallen into a routine, and failed to realize that today was a scheduled day off. I had a couple students ask yesterday whether we were having school today, which prompted me to look at the school calendar. Happy Friday everyone.

                Probably a smart choice 😉

                  FTP for Blue Switch Day. Hope everyone has a chance to get out caching for at least one.

                  It is “No Mow May” here in Appleton in support of our pollinators. Not really sure how to feel about this. Residents will be allowed to forgo the 8″ maximum grass height to allow for the bees and such to do their springtime duties. Then back to normal requirements in June. I like how Appleton is taking a step forward to save our pollinators, but just have the feeling that their needs to be a broader movement to really cure the problem.

                  I have a neighbor that allows his “natural landscape” to grow out of control all the warm months long so I think I’ll let the pollinators continue to visit his yard. I’ve got a dog to clean up after and youngsters that like to play outside so I feel it is best in my situation to keep the grass short.

                    Got my Blue Switch wall art on my way to mow my Dad’s lawn. Burned a very small patch of pampas grass, too.

                    Pretty nice out there!

                      Fell asleep at the Blue Switch.  After accomplishing necessary tasks, I was uncharacteristically tired.  My biggest accomplishment of the day was a nap. 😴 Now I am finishing what I should have earlier.

                        FTP for my cousin’s birthday!

                        That’s pretty drivel-ish to all but my cousin.

                          I live in the country. I have 130 acres of land. I mow about 2.5 acres, have about 80 acres of woodlands, 25 acres of grassland, and the balance in wetlands. I have 5 apple trees, two cherry trees, two pear trees, and 2 plum trees. The pollinators around here have plenty to do.

                            Oh, I forgot the 80 or so flowering crab-apple trees.
