Chris glad to hear you had a relaxing time...
I'll bet that was noisy!View attachment 77611
Here is a shot I took today, in the middle of the afternoon. Six cubs and the mother.
Soylent Green is people!Haven't had the money or energy to keep up with keeping the pool as clean as I should, pool chemicals ain't cheap so I have green, yellow and black algae. Yesterday hit it with PH reducer, the PH was through the roof, last night I picked up the rest of what I needed, just finished brushing the pool, backwashing and rinsing it. When I finished brushing it the water was a lovely shade of green....... Added double the chlorine and in about an hour I'll vacuum it, rebackwash and rinse plus the PH is creeping back up so I'll have to add some more reducer. Later I'll have to look to buying a phosphate treatment as I'm betting the phosphate level is high which tends to negate the effects of the chlorine, feed the algae and raise the PH levels.
You were this close to biofuel...
That's beautiful, Gracie. I wish I were closer, I'd love to come pick up some of your work!Well, it wore me out, but I finished the damn dresser. Yes, birds again. They sell. So why change a known money maker?
I was so worn out today and yesterday, that I couldn't do leaves...so I used a fan brush dipped in orange and yellow for "blossoms". Just dab, and yer done.
Two more to go now. I don't think I have it in me to do the highboy. This one about killed me, so I can imagine how I will feel with a highboy.

Got our first hay of the year in. The trailer-load is under tarps for now and I have to go unload and stack the hay on the truck. It looks like rain, so I'd better pull my head out and get busy. So much to do, so little time or energy!
We're too acidic for alfalfa. Mostly timothy or brome, or with luck, orchard grass. The current crop is green, leafy, and smells like heaven. Whenever possible, we pick it up fresh from the field. I'm about as pleased as I can be that at my age I can still stack a couple of tons of "grass".Got our first hay of the year in.

[AHEMMM....COUGH, COUGH, COUGH....]
Last week I picked up a store made pound cake, yup, waaaaaaay too sweet. Found a recipe online for a cream cheese/almond meal pound cake, it's in the oven now, hope it turns out good.
It came out pretty good but if you like sweet the recipe only calls for 1/4 cup sugar and even my wife and I think it needs a little more. We'd put in maybe 1/3 cup, the typical American who only likes the taste of flavored sugar would probably use 3/4 to 1 cup.Last week I picked up a store made pound cake, yup, waaaaaaay too sweet.

Sweet stuff is good!
