  1. I have disappeared for a week. We headed to Disney World for a quick 4 day trip last weekend. I am going to share some pictures of course. but we had an awesome time and it was much needed and enjoyed by all!<\/li>\n
  2. The weather continues to be so bizarre. We left Florida on Tuesday morning with a temperature of 83 at 9am.\u00a0 We arrived home at 7pm and the temperature here was 55*\u00a0 We have had at least 6.5 inches of rain in the month of May.\u00a0 I am hoping to return to 80 very soon so I can enjoy sitting at the pool.<\/li>\n
  3. Before we left for Florida, we decide to try something. We have 2 rain barrels that are filled by rain water. One from the house gutters and the second from a single gutter on the side of a building. Matt had saw and I did some research on adding goldfish to these. We decided that it was worth a try. We headed to Pet Smart and purchased 20 “large” goldfish. My thought was that I wanted the larger fish so they would not accidentally come out a spout.\u00a0 I am so excited to report that we can see a visible difference in the amount of algae on the sides of both barrels. So for $10 we have a renewable algae control. We have only saw the fish one time but we can see the evidence they are working.<\/li>\n
  4. Due to the wet weather we have needed to add both pine shavings and lime to the chicken coop.\u00a0 Another “upgrade” is that we are planting mint inside of cement blocks around the sides of the coop. The idea is that the mint can be food for the chickens as well as odor control.<\/li>\n
  5. The most disappointing thing that happened this week is that our pool has a motor problem so not only can we not enjoy the pool but both the kids were planning on working this summer as lifeguards. We are all hoping it can open soon!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
