Garden tip: if you're noticing a lot of ants on your plants, you probably have aphids. Ants will farm the aphids for the goo they produce. Ladybugs are your saviors if you have aphids. Familiarize yourself with ladybug eggs and larva so you don't harm a beneficial insect.

The little pool has been entertaining my two dogs this week in the heat. It gives them a cool down and some play, and also gives the wildlife a place to drink when it's dry. Every few days, I use the dirty water on the garden and refill with fresh water.

Used #kansascity company #MissouriOrganics to fill my new raised bed. They compost commercial food waste from the area. It was blown into the bed from a truck. About half the cost of bagged soil, took half an hour, and was so easy. Getting tomatoes planted today!

I remember the call to #buyAmerican in the 80s when manufacturing moved overseas. People flocked to Walmart to buy crap they didn't need because it was "so much cheaper." My own dad had a "Buy American" bumper sticker on his Mazda. The cognitive dissonance has always been an issue with us.

Power outages across Spain and Portugal. This is why emergency planning is so important. Our infrastructure is getting old and our whole society depends on power.

Welp, the #layoffs have hit me. My boss has several small businesses and I do a bit for each one, running one entirely. They're all tanking in this economy.

My elderly intellectually disabled aunt casually requested a pinata for Easter this year. So we've got a pinata. We've all got the urge to beat the shit out of something and stuff our faces with candy. As Jesus would want.

Had to repair the deck and used the salvagable wood to build this absolutely enormous raised bed. This thing could fit so many bodies.
