I'm a bad steward of my pond. :(
Comments (4)I leave some leaves in the pond for them for the winter. My fish hide in them also. My pond is much bigger (about 6000 gal) and I always have some frogs die each year. I cover part of my pond, and run a small pump under the cover. this year I added an air pump under the cover and some roof deicing cable. I have not found a dead frog yet! I read somewhere that frogs optimum winter temp is (if I remember correctly) 35-37* and I have been trying to think of a way to get some heat into the water without it costing a fortune. I wove the cable thru a piece of dog crate so it wouldn't touch itself anywhere. It was warm to the touch out of the water. Then I put it in the water kind of upright so the top was at the surface. I used a 60 ft cable and I think it cost about $10 a month to run. There was no ice under the cover and outside it stayed thin near the cover. So maybe it did keep the water a touch warmer and help the frogs! Sherry /frugalgardener 5/MI...See MoreMama Loves Larsi!!
Comments (7)MamaP/Cheryl....YOU are so welcome, and you are most deserving! I was so happy and excited to do this for you! As I mentioned in my letter to you (did you find the letter in the box?)...I bought you 2 boxes (the other one is smaller). I will send you more later, but this is all I could literally shove in the box and try and hold it shut and packing tape it sealed...LOL!!! Please....you do not need to show me how grateful you are. I know already!! So please, no favors returned. Even though we have never met, you are a good friend and a really beautiful person. It made me very happy sending a little box of Joy, errrrrr Cheer ;) to you!! Enjoy!! XOxoXOxoXO, Larsi...See MoreToday I Was Refilling My Detergent Containers
Comments (12)Update: washed my bath towels lastnight with Sunlight, 1 oz Sodium percarbonate, and STPP, water temp 132 deg f....I used Downy Free and after drying I put some lemon essential oil on an old clean cloth and tumbled No Heat for 10 minutes. The towels are still white lol..they look and feel soft and fluffy. They smell like fresh crisp lemon. So this worked nicely at least on towels that had no tattle tale grey. This morning I washed a load of jeans; water temp 125deg f..with Sears Plus Powder and STPP.....in the rinse I added just about 2 Tablespoons Members Mark FS. Again the jeans are clean and smell fresh with just the right amount of softness, I don't like overly softened jeans. Currently I have black jeans that hubs wears to work, (retired but works) he works at a auto parts so often gets grease and oil on his clothes, I did a warmish-more cool prewash with Sears powder. Now they are washing, water temp about 130 and I used Tandil Premium detergent liquid, and STPP. They just started agitation so it will be awhile. Stay tuned LOL...See Morehe's gone too far
Comments (58)Not so fast Mama Goose, each state has it’s own laws and in Maryland, there are no statue’s of limitations for a violent crime. This victim still has the right to file charges even now and is actually being encouraged to do so by some. Professor Ford has done absolutely everything she has available to her to prove that this happened, so yeah, now the burden is on him to prove her wrong, nothing unfair about that. Now why doesn’t that committee comprised of all old white men step up to the plate and show her some fairness? Under the circumstances I think it’s her due. https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/kyle-drennen/2018/09/21/msnbc-maybe-ford-should-file-criminal-charges-against-kavanaugh...See Moresonottacook
