Simple


But smart. Here is a great idea from a farmer/rancher guy that is so simple it seems obvious and yet I had never seen it done or thought of it and I'll bet many other folks hadn't either. He simply floated an old basketball in his water tank so he could see if it needed to be filled. Brilliant!

Where is the "like" button? Now this is published we will have the FDA coming to test the water in the tanks for Chemicals from China in the Basketball... or something else to prove they are working.

Earl, isn't that the truth! I love the way folks innovate in simple ways like that and then share their ideas. Little things mean so much in this busy world.

Linda, thanks, it was the moon over town. I didn't really have time to do a good job but you can kind of get the idea. It was a pretty night

Hmmm . . . now we gotta come up with a way to indicate that the bird feeder needs filled.

The angle to the house and the dark oil seed make it difficult.

Cathy, don't your chickadees come to the door and complain? lol

Cathy said...

You're so lucky. I think city chickadees have more options and just flit over to some stealthy neighbor who's offering a better smorgasbord ;)

Cathy, I think it is just the four tame ones that remind me. I think they are the result of generations of birds hatching on the porch in the little bird house and being as accustomed to humans and canaries singing for their breakfast in kitchens. They follow me up to Alan's stove thingie too, gleaning among the left over apples, and chirping at me. I love them.
