Maybe a half of a steamer? Drop that into a pot of boiling or steaming water, then when it's time to come out, just lift the whole thing up.

Haha. Awesome! We kept a black widow for a few months, but went on vacation, and couldn't ask the pet-sitters to also watch a black widow... Their silk is amazing stuff, though.

Why was this down voted?

Thanks for the visit. Glad the Candy Roasters are coming along well!

Just a bit of sunrise...

Thanks! The sunrises at our house are amazing, almost every day.

I wonder how much $15 an hour has to do with it, too...

I'm going on false flag. The powers that be are dying for a war with Iran; not sure China is ready to mess with the States...

Love watching fruit trees grow. I think that 's a pear tree though...

Another shownotes type post for an interview I did with an individual who's town essentially outlawed urban homesteading and didn't grandfather anyone in.

We got goats!

Ugh. Sorry to hear. Septics have gone crazy up in New England, and for what? A bunch of cockamamy regulations that really don't do a whole lot.

Got to love it!

Couple this with the nonsense they've pulled with Harding and you can forget it all. Of course, I think we're beyond remembering...

I should ebay more, but finding that log in and password... Not sure I can do that... Ha!

Essentially just the show notes for my podcast:

What's the easiest way to get in touch with you? Wondering if you want to get on my Podcast - Homesteads and Homeschools - and talk about some permaculture homesteading type stuff. homesteadsandhomeschools
