I save our cat litter jugs, generally the 14# jugs, poke several drainage holes in them and bury them a couple inches next to plants in the garden. Take off the lid, fill with water, put lid back on. Seems to work for me to water more quickly by hand, make sure the water gets down under the soil level. Grandkids like watering that way too. Pretty easy to add a bit of water soluble fertilizer into the jug and allow the water to seep out. If I can't bury them a bit due to more mature plant roots, I drive a short piece of rebar through the opening, into the ground to stabilize the jug.

Well the phone saga continues.
Last phone the moto g went back this morning. The phone was calling people
on it's own. Not in my pocket either. When it worked it was good, when not working....not working.
Got a straight talk phone and the tech at Walmart, redid it over so it could accept tracfone service.
It is a Samsung smart phone and so far I like it. I got minutes to use up, lots of them. so had
to stay with tracfone. Time will tell. Feeling more positive about this one.
Just trying to keep the budget super tight, till we get the dog's surgery over with later this month.
Weather has been on the cold side here. Lots of rainy days. Flowers are looking pretty.
I think spring might be finally here

Still getting used to my new phone. So far I have accidently put in on a Do not disturb mode.
No wonder no calls were coming in. Yesterday or day before I managed to accidently MUTE
calls coming in. Going out was fine. Have came to conclusion I have a sensitive screen and
I have to be careful how I put it in my pocket. I face it out. And have to put the bottom edge in
first. So when I grab it, I am not accidently swiping and unlocking it. A lot better phone than
the last few I was arguing with. I do own a second smart older phone and I don't remember
any issues like this with that one. But it is a smaller one so maybe that is why.
One feature I like on this one I accidently stumbled onto.
I was at the thrift store, found a item I thought the son could use. So I sent a pic of it
in messenger to him before I bought it. So I figured out, if I open messenger , go to
person I want to sent it to, touch pic icon, then take pic, it automatically inserts the pic.

My chickens and ducks have a big enclosed run with roof now. No more free ranging.
This morning, I picked them a big armful of grass and put it in the run before I opened
the chicken door to let them out. Yesterday I picked dandelions leaves for the bunnies.
Free food is a good thing

I remember those computers! In 1979 I had to take a rudimentary computer programming class in university. We had to type out each line of code on a separate punch card then take the stack, kept securely in a shoebox to the big and noisy computer room and see what happened when you loaded the cards into the machine. One card out of place could send you (me) into the dreaded endless loop. The computer programming students nearly lost their eyesight from rolling their eyes at our efforts.
I was taking a librarians program and our computer skills teacher said we'd all be out of work in ten years. He was wrong.
About two years later that school updated completely in partnership with a corporation and newer students didn't have to do coding that way again. Hello dialup modems and online databases. Yes, it is remarkable what we can get from our phones now, and so fast!I still have one of those computer punch cards.
My uncle worked as a punch card programmer for years! He brought home some of the punch cards for his family to use as scrap paper. I thought they were pretty neat.I remember those computers!
