    What did you do in your garden today?

    I have no idea what mine is. On a hill slope which once was covered by fir trees. Back in the early 1900's, someone stripped our property free of all trees. We are slowly adding back native trees. We have natural springs seeping down a hill above us where the previous owners took out 14 huge...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I'm in between Mt Hood and Mt St Helens. Since Helen already blew her top, Hood is the one to think about. But yeah, Cascadia Subduction Zone will hit me hard!

    Our food bank where I volunteer, stopped buying eggs from the wholesaler three weeks ago. We've gotten some complaints that we always give out eggs....not any longer, dear client!

    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    The 2018 washer that we bought from the house sellers here, broke. The struts are going out. So to fix it is $676 or to buy the exact same Maytag is $828. What did I do? I'm going to fix the struts myself with hubs help. For $115. Can the vacuum be repaired? What is wrong with it?
