Hops at home

<< < (3/8) > >>

Hopalong:
I have no electric outlets outside.
If it's solar powered, absolutely!

I still haven't been to a big box store to look for replacement
concrete bath-bowls. Moving like a snail lately.

I have way more on my plate that I can handle now, much less finding ways to repurpose that big fountain, Amber, but thanks for offering. 

I wonder if you could find the top of an old birdbath at a garage sale or Goodwill, Hops.  I don't think I found anything I wanted in the big box stores. 

If you guys ever see a concrete planter of a bunny's backside, burrowing..... I WANT IT.  They're so adorable and I haven't seen one in the last 20 years.

Ah, too bad! The fountain is electric. I've not seen it run though so who knows where the switch is for it? Maybe there isn't one.

Hopalong:
CROWS came back today!
They'd abandoned me for a while and I was all...was it something I said?

So tickled. I just noticed one walking in the street out front and raced to toss out a cup of stale raw peanuts. They immediately started calling each other. Next time I peeked, they were strolling around like they were visiting a cafeteria they hadn't been to in months.

Yay. Keeping up the crow campaign will really cheer me this winter.

One more big home-improvement decision I may regret financially, but not otherwise. I figure with Putin-prices hitting us all, I should finally get my attic properly insulated (and two drafty exterior doors weather-stripped). Got a good reference and it should be happening in the next week or so. He was very biased toward fiberglass but I stuck to my guns for cellulose, blown in. There'd just been a very old layer of the fiberglass batts. I wanted to have all the old removed and all-new blown in, but the first quote nearly took my hair off, so I decided to have him blow it in on top of the old stuff. Not quite as high an R-value will result, but it's still going to cut down the fossil fuel and the bills. Plus, getting those doors off the back room weatherstripped will make that area a lot more pleasant to spend time in.
