I always suspected the garbage guys just like my dogs, because they always seem to need to crush in front if my house

We didn't have any today, but I happened to be standing at the front door

Saw them slow right down and wave at the collies ๐Ÿ˜‚

She gets away with EVERYTHING because she's just being curious & tries to help

Even when she, for example, steals one of my maple seedlings because I had moved it, so it smelled like me

She's lucky I found it in the yard and she didn't hurt it ๐Ÿ™„

The Ontario Veterinary College is a problem.

A friend of mine had one of her cats done at a mobile clinic where they don't use anethesia, it was very inexpensive by comparison

I haven't seen one that does dogs yet

When I gripe about my eldest's dog being a nuisance, to be fair she always has always moved to the beat of her own drum

Like breaking into & eating out of the container I was serving puppy food out of instead of the full bowl...

I'm trying to get my kid to pay attention to a Seinfield episode while he's trying to get me to watch short form videos...

I grabbed a small silicone set of utensils while I was a Dollarama today because they looked handy,

My youngest clocked them as soon as he walked in the room, asked about then examined them all, then ultimately agreed they looked helpful

This kid doesn't want to be a chef... Uh huh.

I find saturating cells really helps with getting things out of plastic cells smoothly,

I then place it into fairly dry soil when I'm up-potting and it seems to equal out okay

Truffle the Jack Russell Terrier being annoyed by being placed in a grow bag 

Our oldest JRT Poppy is absolutely obcessed with the girlfriend. Like screams in her kennel when she hears her voice, and while I don't like to reward that sort of behaviour, this is a very specific (the girlfriend) obcession and pretty adorable 

Poppy even gets mad when the youngests girlfriend comes over, and it's not the eldest's girlfriend.... 

She really is a sweet girl, and both Poppy & I will be very upset when they break up

They're teens, they're more than likely going to break up, but they are a great couple for a lot of reasons

Since it was on their way my eldest's girlfriend grabbed the grow bags I'd ordered from a lady in the city

Mild dog abuse followed for funsies,
Pretty impressed with the quality!

Plan is to grow the dahlias out in these and I'm putting the potatoes into the bed they were to go into

Covering plants in the frame of what should be covered by plastic but that blew off yesterday... It's going just below zero tonight but colder tomorrow, 

Everything out here is frost tollerant but starting to bud so this should be just enough protection

All farmers have the same problem of being boarderline hoarders, because things other people would throw out come in handy all the time

Stain & riped old bedsheets? Frost cloth.

Tigris on the chair and Fred on the top of the stairs with Poppy the Jack Russell Terrier standing beside them 

Poppy is wearing a GPS Unit, it is NOT a corrective device 


Tigris & Fred don't really get along, they both have very strong personalities and that causes clashes, but they are getting much better as they get more used to each other and Tigris matures 

Fred is also a bit of a psychopath and likes to cause fights with everyone. It's not unusual to see him walk up to his best buddy Abby and smack her across the face just to get her to attack him

Poppy likes to get in the middle of cat fights and breaks the up, obviously without hurting anyone. She does the same when the dogs play a bit too rambunciously for her likeing, which is why she's often seperated from the other Jacks. They get a long! She can just be a LOT and she prefers to hang out with people anyway, she doesn't really like other dogs

Apparently these dorks forgot they hate each other for a minute, or just decided to behave for a while fun-patrol Poppy was within range to break things up

I've gotten those cards as gifts from weddings but I've never had much luck growing flowers from them

I would have liked to have done a wildlfower mix but so many contain invasives and their yard is a sensitive habitat (on the river)

Glass vase, with packages of flower seed 

I used some flower foam on the vase, covered the bottom with some black ribbon and added some fake greenery into the vase 

The packages are taped to skewers and the flowers are fake 

She is a gardener so this is something they will use & I went with fake flowers in case the kids wanted to keep them for a bit 

They are young/pre teens and lost their dad who drank himself to death, its a hard situation 

Really not sure what I'm going to write in the card...

Can't take credit for the idea, I saw it online

But my friend's kids lost someone in their life so in lieu of flowers, flowers

Thrown up a little chunk of wood with some spacers to clip the grow lights onto then wire supported the arms of the grow lights 

I'm not worried about these not being outdoor safe because they're fully protected from the elements 

However the lumens (via my phone app which is not acurate) is only a few thousand right by the lights and a couple hundred at the basket with how overcast it is 

I think I'm going to end up having my youngest knock up a 2 pig-tail line we can plug in since the porch doesn't currently have power to it, I just need to find some grow lights are white and not crazy expensive 

OR 

I make him wire the porch, which we already want, and put in some directional pot lights with grow lights ideally

Quick proof of concept,

So far the restuls are that these grow lights really aren't bright enough for anything other than low-light needs house plants (which I already knew)

This porch is on the north side and gets no sun, but I think supplementing the light will work

Before I only had the chicken wire half way up the door

Put it over the whole door just to not need that middle bar which is hard to staple too nicely 

I need to grab some more bug screen but it's fine for today

On a roll fixing the things bothering me with the screen door finally, & no longer poking myself in the hand every time you touched the middle bar!

It's not pretty but I used what I had on hand & its most importantly done good enough

Chicken wire is for the pets bc bug screen won't keep them in

The number of dairy guys who used wear their barn clothes into town ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Thankfully the word is starting to get out and it's fewer and further between but it used to be rampant especially in the feedstore

I have sympathy, I have to run from lambing to a kid's hockey game too, but coveralls exist!
