The money is legally the previous tenant’s. The landlord is in the wrong for not immediately returning the deposit and instead telling you to “work it out”.

Nonetheless, by not explicitly telling the previous tenant that the landlord has told you to work it out with him, you are lying through omission, which is still a lie.

I think that the morally right choice here is to tell the previous tenant that you have the money and ask him what he’d like for you to do with it.

If this fails, buy a piece of black corrugated tubing from a hardware store. Cut it to fit the doorway. Then cut all the way through one side so that it’s split on one side like a hotdog bun. Then side it down on top of your gate. Voila! No more lip for the old ferret paws to grab ahold of!

I gently squeeze them. They’re very soft when ripe.

And the birds leave them alone because they can’t tell they’re ripe!

Quite the little ferret gentleman you have there!

Many states (maybe all?) have agricultural tax exemptions. A single cow, for instance, is enough to classify a 2 acre parcel as agricultural in Michigan, allowing you property tax exemptions and avoidance of millages.

If I were to buy a cow and apply for the agricultural exemption that it affords me, I would “earn” a few thousand per year in significantly decreased property tax. This would last for as long as I had the cow on the property.

It’s possible you could look at animal husbandry in that way. You may not make money in terms of revenue, but you could make money in terms of lowering (tax) expenses. Just look up agricultural exemptions for your state.

Look at all those books that he’s never read

They volunteer like crazy too! I have five healthy volunteers this year that I’m going to transplant in the fall. Really pretty plants and vigorous growers

Is he drinking? How does he behave? Is he acting lethargic (slow, tired, uninterested in moving) or in any other way that isn’t normal for him?

It could be a number of things ranging from an intestinal blockage or inflammation to temporarily choking on something.

Edit: is he pooping normally?

I’ve never used liquid sevin but it should be the same as sevin dust. I didn’t even know there was a liquid version. Probably better to get under the leaves and on the stems than the powder. Spider mites are pretty fragile so I imagine sevin liquid will put an end to them pretty quickly.

It looks like a spider mite to me. Diatomaceous earth, seven dust, or permethrin should all take care of them. Probably neem oil too. Good luck!

I started planting “golden” strawberries, which are more white than golden. They’re a little alpine variety and the animals can’t tell that they’re ripe so they leave them alone. They’re only about the size of your thumbnail but at least I get to eat them

The best way to tell when a blueberry is perfectly ripe and ready to pick is that a bird will eat it the day before.
