Sorry RFK Jr. You can take my Cheez-Its from my cold, dead, cheesy sausage fingers!

California's Dept of Public Health reports finding #H5N1 #birdflu virus in raw milk. The producer, Raw Farm LLC of Fresno County, has agreed to recall a batch of a whole milk product called "cream top."
Milk from infected cows contains staggering levels of virus. https://www.statnews.com/2024/04/29/bird-flu-raw-milk-h5n1-risk-us-cattle/

Counting our blessings; uncertain for how long we’ll be able to take simple things like freshly baked bread loaves for granted.

'A wise man once said that “history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce”.'

'Successive UK governments have learnt so little from financial crises and the UK is hurtling towards the next crash. The country has had a banking crisis in every decade since the 1970s. Each crisis drew attention to frauds and predatory practices, but governments remain besotted with light-touch regulation.'

"She is, hook, line and sinker, a Russian puppet.”

Even if she fails to be confirmed, Trump himself is a Russian puppet and he will appoint untrustworthy individuals, including other Russian puppets, up and down the chain of command. U.S. allies and partners must severely constrain their intelligence sharing with the U.S. no matter what, and it should start now, before these dangerous traitors take over.

So, my neighbor and I share a property line which contains a wooded area full of blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, sweet pea and other plants (as well as trees). We've been talking about taking walks together to see what's out there, figure out what's invasive, and growing more for the local wildlife (and maybe ourselves -- we've had some great blackberry harvests in the past). We both garden for pollinators in our yards, so it would be great to collaborate (and maybe include some of the other neighbors). I just bought a couple of books that might prove very useful with this endeavor!

There's a companion website for #TheWoodsInYourBackyard ! Sweet! It also has PDF versions of the book (I like having physical copies of books).

The Woods in Your Backyard

"This web site was developed as a companion piece to 'The Woods in Your Backyard: A Guide to Your Woodland.' This resource guide was developed by the Maine Forest Service to help you understand the woods in your backyard and provide ideas about how to work with your property, whether you own a 1-acre lot or 20 acres on the edge of town.

"A directory of state agencies and natural resource-based organizations can be found beginning on page 3 in Chapter 1 and also in the Chapter 1 section below. These agencies are good initial contacts and a great source of additional information on a variety of topics.

"'Backyard Family Activities' are included at the end of each chapter to help you learn more about your property as a family. The activities are most suitable for older children and teens, and they all require adult supervision. Teachers and youth group leaders can adapt them for use with older students. When completed, the Backyard Family Activities also provide a planning framework for working in your woods.

"We hope you enjoy this web site and find the information enjoyable and valuable!"

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Incredibly stunning day on top of W6/SC-311! Activated with Mark KD7DTS, Di KO6BTM, and Ormoo the cat. Had a chance to finally use my KH1 Ashi Paddle 45 given to me by @7L4WVU during my recent visit to Japan. This paddle is awesome!!
