We have hummingbirds that stay here all year and you do need to put fresh food in at least every 5-7 days or it will actually get icky and harm the birds. We even have to thaw our feeder when it freezes in the winter for the little birds that depend on it to live. If the outdoor carpet is still good but dirty, try cleaning it. But putting down a new one is also an option. Have fun getting to know your new home.

They usually drink it all and I don't have to worry about it getting old. We have a soft water system and love it. We drink and cook with the water too. We only buy water for drinking and cooking at the lake because the well water there tastes like metal this year for some reason. My oven is both convection and regular baking. I find myself using the regular bake much more than convection because things never turned out right when I used the convection option.<br />Blessings,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-46736609391987252552016-09-03T23:19:15.611-05:002016-09-03T23:19:15.611-05:00What a fun time you had!

The water here tastes different than in SF; we got used to it but we always use a PUR filter on our kitchen sink faucet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-23942911064878287192016-09-03T19:26:12.391-05:002016-09-03T19:26:12.391-05:00Wow, you are all moved in.

That is incredibly kind of you.<br />My husband and his family are crazy about hummingbirds so we have one of those red feeders in our backyard. Keith fills it with a sugar-water combination. He refills it as needed. He says they always drink all of it.<br />Give me a week or two to adjust to high school and we can set up a meet up!Caffeine Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073716022646773106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-21171200321710177432016-09-03T18:54:21.599-05:002016-09-03T18:54:21.599-05:00Nothing to add to your questions...the mattress so...Nothing to add to your questions...the mattress sounds like fun.

We drink Kangen filtered water at different strengths in our household and just use tap water for showers and plant watering. I just spot cleaned the indoor/outdoor carpeting we had [a can of beets did not stain it!] We have had some issues using our convection oven for cookie baking on Silpat mats, but in general manage to bake what we need to...in spite of not understanding what we are doing :) xx Gracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-29543980694208286832016-09-03T16:02:59.007-05:002016-09-03T16:02:59.007-05:00Your post is so timely.

I was just at Daughter's and I took a bar of my soap and since she has city water, not a well with a softener like we do, I was amazed at how different a soap experience it was. My water is very soft thanks to our new $4000 system and it feels like dog spit when you take bath. Rather slimey. The soap lathers beautifully but is a bear to rinse off. We can't drink the water or use it for watering plants per instructions from the company that installed it but at least it isn't staining everything and smelling like rotten eggs anymore. Beach water is terrible. We buy water in gallons at the grocery store for us to drink and The Mister fills up the containers at his Mom's-who has city water-for the pets. Needless to say we do a lot of recycling. Our front hose is not hooked up to the system so we use it for watering plants. Sigh....it's not much fun but it is what it is and at least we don't have a water bill.Araigneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543030200956480168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-36799484826639187122016-09-03T12:11:21.724-05:002016-09-03T12:11:21.724-05:00I love going to fairs, and draft horses are a real...I love going to fairs, and draft horses are a real fave of mine. As Dee said, they are usually pretty mellow.<br /><br />We have a convection oven, and really like it. Ours came with instructions that said it will cook things more quickly most of the time, and at a lower temp. It suggested (in general) to set the temp 50 degrees lower than normal. So if you have a recipe that says to use 350 degrees for 40 minutes, we set ours on 300 and check after about 25 minutes. I'm sure like everything else, they vary. You could do a Google search for your brand and see if there is an online users guide.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01641404632001445083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8588167.post-26459392265761138272016-09-03T10:55:20.002-05:002016-09-03T10:55:20.002-05:00Glad you had such a good time at the fair.

Only riding horses on display at the local County Fair. <br /><br />The painting is beautiful - when did we become a culture that worships the young, wrinkle-free face? I see wisdom and love in that beautiful face. <br /><br />My nephew and his wife purchased one of those mattresses several months ago, and they love it.
