23rd November 2019
We used the day to push a number of projects forward.
Don came to collect the first of his dressers, it was good to see that one out the door.
I took advantage of the good weather to rake the back garden. I still managed to scoop up a sizeable amount of leaves to add to the piles at the front. The neighbours have followed me by raking more leaves on to the road, I hope I was correct in my assumptions that the city with make a second collection.
I fitted up the new squirrel feeder, and within half an hour a curious critter was checking it out. One design flaw I have identified is the animal has to squeeze through a hole where he has access to the food. If it eats away, it might get too fat to get out again. So I might have to make a trapdoor at the bottom to get the skeleton out.
Kelli is continuing with her green initiative. She already makes her own laundry soap, now she has branched out into toothpaste, mouthwash,
hand soap and oat milk. The kitchen now looks like a Meth lab with bottles, measuring jars and scales. With her librarian style glasses, she just needs a white coat to complete the look.
We did the rounds of both Goodwills, but there wasn’t much good stuff at either place.
