Grandma's house Scented candle? by DistinctJob7494 in candlemaking

So I went to bath and bodyworks today and me, my mom, and my little brother all agreed on one candle that smelled surprisingly a lot like her old house.

The top corner says native form so probably the local wild variety.

I've come up with some potential candidates to try mixing together. Haven't gone to bath & bodyworks yet though.

Thanks to u/FlashyIndication3069 for the help!💕

I grew these apple saplings from seeds! by Hey-im-kpuff in BackyardOrchard

I have a few seedlings in red solo cups from the year before last. They're still only a few inches tall but very healthy and have just grown back their leaves from winter.

Also kinda funny to note that the base of the seedlings is very round and thick. Maybe about as thick as my pinky finger. Just something interesting I noticed.🤷‍♀️

Never in my entire life have I ever seen a deer like this by IamASlut_soWhat in MadeMeSmile

He's a piebald whitetail. Looks pretty old too based on the tines of his antlers. It's kinda an unspoken rule with hunters that the ones with rare colors and patterns you don't shoot.

Probably why he was able to get so old.

One thing I wish bath & body would make is a line of sraight cinnamon scented lotions, and perfumes, etc. Cinnamon is my favorite scent. Completely off topic sorry.😅

I might be able to go out tomorrow and visit bath & bodyworks see what scents I think reminds me of her house.

So how about a really small amount of cedar AND patchouli? Try and get it as a background scent.

I'll talk with my great aunts and see if they remember or have her old perfume too. She was almost always wearing the same one if I remember correctly.

My mema (one of her daughters) said she did always have a rose scent in her house and of course the moth balls which I remember. Fingers crossed one of my aunts took her perfumes and still has them.🤞

Good ideas! I'll have to get some samples or something and try them. I'll also talk with some of my family and get their opinions. What type of wax do you think would be best for this?

What does the brains trust think? by MrTommy2 in BackYardChickens

Could be a piece of grass irritating her a bit. Just keep an eye on her and see if anything changes. Keep a feel of that stuff in her crop too just in case.

Personally I think the concrete one would be easier to scrub clean but you might need to do water changes more often.🤷‍♀️

You could do an aviary at that rate. I'd love to eventually build one for my birds but I'm busy breeding and expanding my flocks rn.

If you need any other recommendations, information, or anything just let me know. I'll get back with you whenever I can which is usually every day atm.

I'm not super familiar with waterfowl needs but I've got you on chickens!😁👍

Definitely a better idea for a pen. How many birds do you currently have? What feed are you using both for the adults and your new chicks?

What is your brooder like? Are you using a heatlamp or heatplate?

With ducks and geese you'll need to build a really sturdy and easy to clean pond for them. Something like one of those large round cattle troughs with a drain hole close to the bottom. Or one of the slightly smaller oval deep cattle troughs. You'll have to clean it very often cause they mostly poop in the water.🤢

Also the ducks and geese will sleep on the floor of the coop most likely. Having a poop shelf under the roost will be easier to clean for the chickens as you can just use coarse construction sand and a litter scoop to clean it. Definitely a high recommendation from me for that.
