Ginger... I was just thinking yesterday that barter is going to be a trend, I would love to trade a loaf of bread right now with two cans of beans!!
Just read that a 104 years old Spanish flu survivor and WW2 veteran from Oregon is the oldest person to recover from covid 19. He is a resident in a veteran's home and others in the home were also infected. He celebrated his 104th birthday with appropriate social distancing. What great news to start my day.
It's nit as warm as yesterday but I'd better get moving.

In my previous home, we'd come home late at night, and the group of deer that was bedded down in the front yard looked at us, but stayed put as we walked past them into the house.

One year the town herd became more than a nuisance so the council asked a local hunter to thin out the herd, targeting first any injured ones and ones that were weak from an illness. The deer were threatening kids at school, and it's not good for wildlife to get dependent on the things they grazed on in town, and to become too used to people. The herd seemed always to swell in numbers the first day of hunting season.

The same was true with coyotes and cougars. They attacked some horses which subsequently had to be put down, and scaring the kids at school. But the cougars did help thin the deer population.

We do love our animals right . even though they love our plants. In my garden I used dried blood sprinkle around the plants animals wont cross over it . I wont hurt you just like lyme

Ginger, What a great idea the online trading hub is! Years ago, I joined an online seed trading group. It was great fun and made some friends through that group whom I still stay in touch with.
