Lots of busy #bees in top deep box. It got up to 65°F today, but it&#39;s been rainy. <br/><br/>Time to start thinking about winterizing. Been thinking about putting the hive boxes on a pedestal and surrounding with hay bales and a piece of plywood over the top, with room around the hive for flying. We also have the gear to wrap it. Need to do more research before the #PolarVortex gets here later this month... 🤔 #beekeeping 2026-11-01T21:45:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs2pd0h5ksj6jsm92rv5kunkq9murtjjj8w60p7gxkjnhwzkxvuesszyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzayt9l6 It&#39;s a tradition to cook Zombie Brains on #Halloween. 😌🧟‍♀️🧠 #Food<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/538/643/822/772/779/original/d0fb907dc5648245.jpg"> <br/> 2026-11-01T01:43:39Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgq7h2d8y4rgz5f7x93hs6rn5y2g6a7wa4fgy6utygnf9jzza5yfgzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzd6ts74 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs25zylgee50xlx4uq4rvegppnen6gqhxpg0qml6xahpld7j2e94fc2lutge'>nevent1q…utge</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Love how the orange #yarn turned out! <br/><br/>#Dyeing #GulfCoast #Wool #FiberArts <br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ah03qj5a4w5chmp9wfddnlyvwgmumqdlzrajukts622dhw26xl5qupaq5j" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Fiber Arts</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ah0…aq5j</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/378/144/661/513/431/original/1d9dd5382851243d.jpg"> <br/> 2026-10-03T17:27:36Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs25zylgee50xlx4uq4rvegppnen6gqhxpg0qml6xahpld7j2e94fczyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pz28899y Been doing a little #dyeing of #wool #roving and #yarn. #FiberArts <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1ah03qj5a4w5chmp9wfddnlyvwgmumqdlzrajukts622dhw26xl5qupaq5j" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Fiber Arts</span> (<span class="italic">npub1ah0…aq5j</span>)</a></span><br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/372/689/632/464/982/original/1341c7e8d2baa4ec.jpg"> <br/> 2026-10-02T18:20:38Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswpafk3a96law4y5rzdan0gcflmph7k8fzj3ev894e4cegefxfpxszyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzqdxw7y I made an oopthsies...😬😜 It&#39;s ginormous! 😵<br/><br/>Even Summer couldn&#39;t believe what I had allowed to happen! 🙀🤣😂<br/><br/>#gardening #GrowYourOwn #zucchini #CatsOfMastodon<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/315/535/892/522/469/original/6496e2f8657dc3a2.jpg"> <br/> 2026-09-22T16:07:04Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyrj9d2fjwtw089fmed8f9zpsgza4lyqlj39fmpe3v5p73ust8kagzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pz67lkvm Picked half a bushel sweet #corn last night.

The grass under/around the solar panels grew richer, with more protein &amp; more nutrition, even though forage was 38% less. The grass out in full sun was more fibrous, less nutritious, etc. <br/><br/>The shade was beneficial to the lambs as they could regulate their temperatures easier compared to the lambs grown in full sun without shade. #SheepOfMastodon #Agrovoltaics #GreenEnergy #Farming #Agriculture <br/><br/><a href="https://spacedaily.com/b-lambs-grazing-under-an-oregon-solar-farm-had-38-percent-less-grass-in-front-of-them-than-lambs-in-the-open-field-alongside-and-they-put-on-the-same-weight-to-the-gram-because-shade-makes-a-pasture-g/">https://spacedaily.com/b-lambs-grazing-under-an-oregon-solar-farm-had-38-percent-less-grass-in-front-of-them-than-lambs-in-the-open-field-alongside-and-they-put-on-the-same-weight-to-the-gram-because-shade-makes-a-pasture-g/</a> 2026-08-30T19:22:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs83ct565n7ledqlp3qkgd4nr4l724xy53g3cf83hck3ff263elq8gzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzq0y85t I think I interrupted a meeting... 😳🤭😆<br/><br/>#ChickensOfMastodon #Rams<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/174/488/069/148/481/original/cd16d8619fee8377.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-28T18:15:13Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxualnyt0fgf2k7ef4smaxpsgzxew59700hnwgte65p6tf42evqcgzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzkv8maj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxst5uk2x4zy5r5747d55vf7dke28nvqjcdq0padmp9rhlsv65vkg634q7l'>nevent1q…4q7l</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looking bloody colorful now! #Eclipse #Moon #LunarEclipse<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/171/159/886/135/600/original/5f82e5aa24a17380.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-28T04:07:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxst5uk2x4zy5r5747d55vf7dke28nvqjcdq0padmp9rhlsv65vkgzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pze63fan In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsx6lfvl99c7ggeyegf9hfrrmspsqg2ttefcm5vh03h2crqhmakkggx2hl3w'>nevent1q…hl3w</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Almost there... #LunarEclipse<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/171/073/754/405/304/original/6c33f076b03b4fe0.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-28T03:45:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsx6lfvl99c7ggeyegf9hfrrmspsqg2ttefcm5vh03h2crqhmakkggzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pz5ra0as Partial phase #LunarEclipse. #Moon #Eclipse<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/170/957/184/396/404/original/e973d436f004896e.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-28T03:17:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyzzcz4cv6xq9g2p6hwf5faezxzcepxgwtnzvfphlcgc8k4xwrqeszyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pz2tc4p8 Okay, I don&#39;t have all the seasoning ingredients I want, but I think I&#39;m going to just make some #salsa! 😄 I probably still have 15 lbs of #tomatoes from my #garden up around my ears in this house and I just picked and brought in another 2 lbs. <br/><br/>I think one plant gave me 100 san marzanos! 😲 <br/>And...I just looked...and my Cherokee Purple, Blue Beech, and some of the San Marzano plants have all set more fruit!!! 🤯🤯🤯<br/><br/>#gardening #GrowYourOwn #Food<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/169/496/396/639/535/original/ce57626cf7285ac8.jpg"> <br/> 2026-08-27T21:04:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyvddjd4vxcpmvkcel8yxsrkv02a7ynk4545sd5erjqmq39f7vzvqzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzspyh89 .<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/117/015/543/210/897/953/original/f04e909bf58f6351.jpg"> <br/> 2026-07-31T16:33:25Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9j5hxh7k6z40m5uvps40a8w8wehv8px20p7xxucwm7kmmmn7774gzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pzx93z6d Finished planting the #spring #garden. #GardeningMastodon<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/116/433/651/197/206/226/original/12b56235d64beec3.jpg"> <br/> 2026-04-19T22:09:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyxn7d3hpxdlxt9e6jandsqe4cskkjqdpyakvg3cgtnk8fnxuwfeqzyqjq5t24tqsvyz5mpafus3dx5vdg2mhepwkaf0p93r4sqhwn9r5pz9vecgh It&#39;s been so difficult to harden off seedlings over the past 9 days or so.

I just put them in the shade because it&#39;s super windy and 79°F. <br/><br/>I have a whole other tray of beets, more cabbages, and shallots that need to come out too! #gardening #hardeningoff<br/> <img src="https://media.universeodon.com/media_attachments/files/116/291/116/938/241/206/original/8da3fbea93687bb1.jpg"> <br/> 2026-03-25T18:03:25Z
