We just had them for dinner last night as our main. In replacing our stove there was a snag and all we had was limited time and a hot plate to make dinner and I think it might be a meal more often now. I think everyone had about 3 to five eggs worth a piece.

I clean, grind, mix and freeze my own cat food. Comes to about 30 lbs a week. All of it is human grade if it wasn't for the gritty bones here and there. Would this possibly count anywhere here or would this possibly be a odd ball?
We are definitely going to give this challenge a good try. Thou I have a feeling there is going to be a few hiccups! We are mostly vegan but the pets are obligated carnivores and of course all meat comes in plastic. The feed for the chickens only seems to come in plastic. We did find a source with paper feed bags but it's over a hour away. And milk, finding glass jars is nonexistent. We do have a lady when we visit some folks in Missouri who refills our gallon mason jars! Happy shout out to the Amish Galaxy Store in Missouri. Everything else I believe will be a fun challenge. We will have to get creative for the packaging on our farmers market items. Glass is and paper bags are obvious. But what about the stickers? The backings are all this plastic film! 🤨

We use strawberries as one of our ground cover plants. I knew the berries were useful but had no idea the leaves could be used to until now.

Our bathroom is in a permanent renovation until I figure out how to strip the rest of the paint off the trim... and there may or may not still be a hole into our basement from installing the toilet in a place I didn't like.....  but at least its clean and usable!!!

Kiddo and I got this one done! We make pottery out of wild clay and this mug didn't quite fire hot enough in the new fire pit set up so we decided to use it. Its in a zone 0 area and will slowly water the plants around it plus it wont stagnate cause its always slightly leaking. We did this a couple of days ago and the kiddo now makes a point of checking on it every day to water the ants. He really likes ants lately.

So this is the third time that I have replaced a bike tube since starting my Badge Bit journey and for once I remembered to take pictures.  I had run the tire flat while riding with my wife, and had put off the repair for a few weeks cause planting takes all of our time lately.

the tube was ordered on Amazon ages ago back before I realized I am not a fan of them.  I do not remember the brand it was, but the tubes are quite good.  Once I removed the tire, and took the tube off, I put the new tube on.  Putting that tube on and getting the tread on was a battle for about 45 minutes, and was WAY harder than I remember it being.
