CARE Center fund-raising activities–and followup meeting–are in the record book. Finally, my time is my own. Yesterday I went shopping in Livingston (and spent $777.84). Now my roof repair is paid for; now I have items for garden projects. (1) Repair items would have cost as much as a new Weed Eater–so I purchased a new one. Later today I’ll use it. (2) New pump for the garden fountain. (3) Chick Starter for my mealworm “farm.” (4) One more Mandevilla plant. (5) Miscellaneous items for my homemade products: Insecticide for the plants; mold remover for the T@B. (6,7,8,9,10) Much miscellaneous, and a few groceries. ~~ Before it was dark, I got the new pump going on the fountain. The original pump was inserted from beneath the fountain; none-such available. Now I have the electric line draped over the edge (less attractive). The squirrels love this fountain!! ~~ The previous evening, I pushed the black audio-video line (for spy camera) through white PVC pipe to protect it from foot traffic (and weed eater). The pipe came from North Carolina so no current expense!! ~~ Last evening, I prepared the mealworm “farm” with larger plastic container (from recent CARE garage sale), Chick Starter and wheat germ (and carrot, potato & apple) and shredded brown paper bags (according to the instructions). ~~ Today (if I get “a round tuit”) I’ll make the “witch’s brew.” FYI: It is almost impossible to find Borax, Fels-Naptha, and Ivory soap!! ~~ It’s a cold dark cloudy day so an opportunity to work on indoor projects.

No, the top does not perfectly “fit”  on the mealworm “farm” plastic box–but satisfactory. Yes, I drilled lots of holes in the top for air.  (Wonder woman at work.) ~~ 10:50 AM and I just turned on the heat. Hate to do that; it’s supposed to be Spring!!
