I collected a dozen eggs from our small backyard flock. We have a couple Barred Rocks, 3 reds, and two pullets that have not started laying. I get 3-5 eggs per day, so it takes 3 days to get a dozen.
Photos are:
- a hen peeking out of the nest box,
- eggs in the nest,
- and my basket from a day's gathering, next to a dozen collected on previous days.

Too-small t-shirt into rags. Fun and quick BB to do!

How do you ping someone to approve or comment on a BB submission? Mine has not been evaluated.

Thank you for this idea! Friends have a mulberry tree, but most of the berries just fall down (making dark spots on the terrace tiles). I'll suggest them to make something like you show here. Then I can help them making mulberry jam.

You can't see it in the photos, but the lower end of the tarp is held slightly taught in a V shape, so that the berries make it into the kiddie pool, rather than spilling all over because of the wind.

My son set up a passive wind-powered mulberry harvester last summer.

The prevailing wind direction was from the higher end towards the lower end, causing the tarp to rock from side to side, rolling the berries downhill. We put a kiddie pool under the bottom end to catch them. Harvested gallons and gallons of berries from this!

Seems that the link above goes to another event.

I think they are very effective as a temporary way to lose weight, but over the long run, not so helpful.   No long living society has ever existed on a keto type of diet.
PDX OR

In my current research on this, "metabolic switching" is coming up a lot. This is training the body to switch easily back and forth betwen keto (fat-burning) mode and carb-burning mode. Necessarily, there would be a regular switch-up of the diet to make this happen. As with many things, moderation is important!

Love this topic! I just read through the whole thread and I am so interested and thankful that you all shared your experiences.
I have been doing varied types of fasts since November, including 16:8 IF with varied eating windows, 12-hour dry fast, 24-hour fast, etc. I have lost 14 lbs in the last 5 weeks (I'd like to lose at least 40 more). I fast 6 days a week now, but keep it varied day to day. I'm going to add in one 36-hour fast per week for weight loss.

The most important thing I learned recently is that women need to fast differently than men. Go check out "Fast Like a Girl" and Dr. Mindy Pelz -- she will explain it all:



Seriously, this blew me away!

What a fun idea! I'm going to print it out for my kids. Thank you for sharing this!!
