Sabastion was attacked by a dog on Febuary the 18th. My mother and Jermey found him huddled under a bush in the sideyard shortly after it happened and Bex and I rushed him to the Emergancy vet.
Luckily, he fought off the dogs, and only had two hernias in his oldcatfat that needed to be removed.
I wuv my sabastion :(
A medium efficiency particulate air filter was improvised using a piece cut out of a never used Bionaire 1000 electret replacement filter media. It was secured to a muffin fan with packing tape and set outside in my sideyard for 4 hours today during worsening Silicon Valley air with Air Quality Index=200 (unhealthy). When measured just now at noon, 350 CPM. This morning the TV weather folks said the air quality throughout the Bay Area was the worst it has been since the Camp Fire began.
I'm thinking that fine particle capture and/or electric charged particle capture even for short periods is much more effective than long period coarse only (paper towel filter) particle capture.
My Holmes air cleaners have foam pre-filters but by far the bulk of the concentrated hot particles counted are in the HEPA media not on the foam.
For reference the radon inside my house is measuring normal, 0.9 pCi/L and has stayed in a .7 to 1.0 range all this week and last week. For my location the factors that matter are windows open/closed, use of central forced air heating, ground surrounding house sealed (or not) by prolonged rain, crawl space dirt dry or damp, low vs high atmospheric pressure variations with weather fronts.
The Holmes aer series HEPA filter (HAPF300AP), always used with ionizer feature turned off, measured earlier (11/10) at 500 CPM, dropped to 250 CPM mid-week, now measures 500 CPM again at noon today (Thursday 11/15).
I'm running all of my indoor air filters for protection, and they are getting visibly dirty.
This north side of the house will seem a lot more inviting once the huge Coast Live Oak is thinned out, giving this area some dappled sun instead of complete shade.
The instant Thanksgiving dinner was over we darted outside to give our brand-new outdoors outlets a spin. Holiday lights! Bokeh! EEEEEEEEEEEE!
We got a new city sanitary sewer line on our street. We all had to put in the new lines from our houses to the new sanitary sewer line. What may look like a huge gopher trail cost us a pretty penney. Plus it totally destroyed our front and side yards and my garden.
Depending on your bent, this fractured lawn ornament is quite telling. Sideyard on S. Plain St., Ithaca, N.Y.
Big Doe soon followed fawn and drove her and her mother out of the sideyard, trying to get the message across that tagging along close after the two Big Does was not allowed.
it turns out that you're supposed to have a permit, now, for a backyard fire. thankfully, we weren't apprised of this until a month into the firestarting. (and the firemen were very complimentary about my "clean-burning" fire, apologizing and looking around at the cute boys gathered, while the nosy neighbor who turned me in checked on the progress of his snitching on the sidewalk)
garden diary winter/spring 2011
March 14th
Yesterday I managed to plant some more spring seeds like mustard, kale, radish, etc and dig up some of the garlic chives that have taken over the garden, to make room for transplants. Today I put in transplants - cabbage, brussels sprouts (my fav), chinese cabbage and some snapdragons. I also planted from spring plantings / seeds in the sideyard containers, a first for the sideyard. I'm hoping the brick wall will help some dill and other greens get a head start so we can have a spring and summer full of herbs. I also need to start some seeds indoors, and I did hose off my seedling trays, but have yet to get around to starting the seeds. We have very limited space indoors for that and I can't afford a "real" seed starter set-up at the moment.

That side of the house that always get ignored until you see how big the weeds have grown!

Taken early in the morning on the way to work. 8 rows in a tiny tiny side yard that actually receives full sun all day during the summer. Hard to believe there's any sun back here but there is!
Customer previous had us install legacy stone wall and driveway extension and later decided to extend wall into backyard as well as fill in the area with concrete. Wall sits on a concrete footing.
