^^^^^ I/We agree. We've been trying to improve this property for the native wildlife since we bought this place +30 years ago. We've introduced more native animal and insect attracting plants and shrubs and with selective cutting have improved the "bio-diversity" and habitat. One of our abutting (+100A) neighbors is a never to be developed land trust. We are members. Their program forester really likes what we are trying to do on our 13A's.

Thanks for sharing that, Don

Special prayers for our special people.

I’d say that is fully claimed, Jay

Fully claimed until Alpha Female shows up. Periodically throughout the day there are sofa turf challenges. Beds are a "no no" while we are home.

When you hang those cans for your pew, pew, pew therapy, fill them with water first.

Planned on it, thanks for reminder.. I will remember your post when I start shooting empty cans LOL

I also need to get on roof and replace the vent stack seals.. got new ones, just haven't ventured on roof yet. Also got some flex seal to help if needed..

RNG, years ago a hotel gave me a room that had been smoked in (even though I had guaranteed late arrival for non smoking), I'm allergic so it was a no go, they put an ozone generator in for a couple hours, I could still smell it, but they use that for rooms to remove smoke odor.. perhaps one would help your smoke smell?

Prayers for those in need, stay safe.

Wife had a sales lady from LazyBoy store come out and take measurements and make recommendations for furniture updates... some of our chairs/sofas are 20-30 years old (still in good shape) and the lady pretty much confirmed that how we had things is about how we have to have them.. the colors my wife likes (such as perrywinkle blue) are no longer available, styles are much too "modern" for her...

Our daughter that is building a new house in spring is interested in our old stuff, so we have some time, but it will take time to find some new stuff my wife likes that fits our space..

I had permission from old Harry Guyette and his two brother to hunt, fish, and hike the property before they all died. In their 80's they would still scythe their hayfield.

Trying to improve habitat on this property is more a labor of love than real work, and I agree about the extended payback period. Last year we observed +40 species of birds here. I have not heard a whippoorwill here in many years nor seen the courtship flights of a woodcock. The Guyette Farm's focus is on improving habitat to encourage the return of woodcocks and ruffed grouse. In "theory" our property is a really decent habitat for both; but no one has told the birds. Another abettor is not as supportive as we .
