Actually, AI did the work -- I just asked questions.
Mother nature is off her meds here -- probably not politically correct any more, but this week seems to be our "Indian summer" 93 yesterday 87 today. We'll see if it actually gets there...its 81 now, so probably not. Now, those are highs.
Saturday the low is supposed to be aroudn 38. 55 degree temperature swing in 5 days. Yup...welcome to Indiana.
I'm actually 'ready' for it. I usually am by this time of year.
Me too -- I actually have only stayed at one, and it was delightful EXCEPT for the people. Some one brought their dog and just left him. Literally nothing I could have done to help, the park was are of it and they were feeding him -- sadly they said there were more than 1 there and the employees kind of become the care takers.
The poor little guy though was obviously missing his people -- why I don't know, I guess this is proof dogs are better than people on too many cases. This poor guy was probably treated badly and he still 'loved' them.
Stuff like this happens all-too-often, and I get unreasonably angry at the unknown people who do it. When my dogs are with me on a trip, they are my first priority at all times. Why have one if they're not considered a part of the family vs "property"? Rhetorical question... If I had acreage I would have scooped up that little one and found him a new home.
Had a similar event happen here at my house. Someone drove into the neighborhood and dumped a little male Shih Tzu, about a year old. He was starving, scared and someone had shaved him really roughly where there were visible cuts from the shaver. We treated him, got him all his shots, did a proper groom after his hair grew back and eventually found a forever home for him with a lovely older couple in San Antonio.
They'd been looking for a dog for awhile, and were absolutely thrilled to connect with us. He's living his best life now, completely spoiled. They still check in with us from time to time to let us know how he's doing (and send a photo of him or two).

Careful that how dog rescues get started! Talk to Mrs. Sweeney before you even consider something like that -- talk to me too. LOL!!!!
If I had unlimited funds, I would 100% do it without regret. Rescue/Sanctuary. I don't have the $$, sadly, so we do what we can. Would love to tho.
I think your pot of gold is right under your nose!A neighbor gave me this picture. Its of the Sanders family and Nancy ( second girl from the right) lived here till she went into a nursing home. Her dad above her bought it in the 1920’s.
Its now my fron yard.

It appears to our last day in the 80s. Will be getting our first nights in the 50s in the next few days. Finally getting some camping weather here.

careful ...
Are the sanders people who built the homstead? Home heating aside, assuming nothing mechaniclly fails it sounds like you've got all that figured out pretty well -- That might be a safe gamble as long as you've got a backup, for your backup in case the primary fails.

Think this was the chair @Tour 931 used at CICO. Zeus was very curious about it.
