My first thought was Viking Wire Weaving, but the lucet idea is a good one too.  I learned Viking Wire Weaving using a thin dowel and some copper wire, so it might fit in your budget too.

I have woven willow rods for a living fence using a variety named Salix purpurea 'Oka.'  Purpureas tend to be more deer resistant.

It wouldn't take "only" 60 minutes but it's worth trying when culling a bird without much meat on it.

I'm in perimenopause.  I had run across the r/Menopause subreddit which clued me in that I was having night sweats!  I talked to my doctor and now I take a low dose of Estrogen and Progesterone. The risks are way lower than once thought and there are additional benefits like lowering the risk of osteoporosis.

Thank you for your reply Dr. Tilgner!  It's interesting that they all seem to work so similarly!

I am very curious about adaptogens in general.  When I first learned about them I was still nursing my youngest so played it safe by not trying them out.  

Now, with the guidance of a chiropractor/nutritionist I have been supporting my overworked adrenals with various adaptogens.  I used one supplement tablet for over a year which contained skillcap, licorice, ashwagandha, and Korean ginseng.  Now it seems that I need a different supplement which contains schisandra, bacopa, eleuthero, and rosemary.  

While I don't believe that everything listed are adaptogens, I am curious to know more about them to see if there is a pattern or trend with the two groups since they do not overlap at all.  I have not gotten around to digging into it myself, but I thought I would take tge opportunity to see if anything stuck out to someone as knowledgeable as Dr. Tilgner or anyone else who reads this post.

It's funny, it took me 9 months after I was given an Instant Pot before I was brave enough to use it!  Such a game changer in the kitchen for me.

You may want to look into how existing cohousing communities are set up.  It may help you to figure out some of the framework you'll want in place amongst yourselves.

I love some of these ideas!  So far I have been using a garden fork to fill 5 gallon buckets that I transport by hand.  Or three buckets will fit in the Radio Flyer wagon I picked up at a garage sale to be pulled where ever needed.
