    My daughter has two large dogs and they shed a lot…..she has one and runs it everyday before dinner because the fur flies around and the dogs hang out in the open kitchen …..works well if there is a large area…my house is too small but I love my rechargeable broom sweeper for quick tidy ups…..also my rechargeable battery hand vac. Crumbs, some flour dust, small pieces of this and that and I can sweep them up quickly.
    I don’t know is you have seen anyone mentioning tomato and potato shortages but what I paid last week for 10 lbs is now $2 more…
    There are no farm stands out this year as they have been previous years…😕 sad

    I love cholula. I could almost drink it and I feel like I need at least 6 unopened bottles at all times, lol, in case Costco stops carrying it for a while as mine has done before. 😀 And, I agree, the Fannie May s'mores are a favorite for me, too.

    • @modernhomesteadalaska

    Just watched today’s video. Loved it. I have to wait about 10-14 days to visit our community farmer’s market, Wayne and I tested positive this morning. He is getting along at about 85% speed and my speed has ground to a halt! But when we get back out in the world, we live near several clusters of Old Amish families/farms. They have always had lovely produce. I thank you for the support of the small American farmers. My dad was one and thankfully he had a trade that paid for our farming. How I wish he could call me and ask I stop over and put in my fall meat order! The very best!!
    Also, I have yet to make Cowboy Candy. Can’t wait to follow you on that adventure!
    You and your messages have been my sunshine these past days of illness and gloom. Hugs and blessings. 🤧💤❤️

    I have the Shark vacume and love it! It runs and I'm free to do other things. I am a supporter of the Farmer's Market as well, the difference in freshness is everything! I am a huge tea drinker so anxious to hear your critique on the teas. I have patience for the hustle bustle of Costco for the the savings but also am one and a half hours from my nearest one so my trips are every other month so I stock up as well👍

    My youngest kids, who have a dog and little children, have a roomba and LOVE it. I understand what you're saying about the supporting of the local farmers, but I will say I can't empathize/understand at all the lure of a $10 coffee. Nor a $5 one. It's 2 cups a day for hubby and me from our trusty coffee maker, using cheap coffee.

      We just made them from pipe parts at the home depot. The only thing I did was paint them black.
      Just know the length you want and build the brackets however you like (Aaron snd I did it in the isle) paint them any color you want. Not cheap in comparison to like the brackets they have pre built but they will hold way more weight.
