@_DOGPOOL_ I'm a beekeeper myself, but keep in mind that these are non-native in the US. I love my bees, but in conjunction with european honey bees, I have a native bee nest in my orchard as well. They are a much better pollinator than the honey bees we imported.
@spencer_askew My (then) 8 year old, was gifted the first 2 books for Christmas in 2024 and was immediately hooked. Today, just over 15 months later, he is starting book 22! He LOVES them! 22 books, averaging 350 pages per book, at 8 years old...simply and amazing story.
@OldHollowTree yes sir, made the decision back in 2017. Best decision ever made. My wife and I have been able to spend so much more time with the kids. Cherishing every moment with them.
@QTRBlackGarrett At first glance, I thought this was Earthworm Jim and was excited to see his next great adventure. But alas, it was a legitimate post...
Sometimes, doing a deed that doesn't feel good turns out for the best. I just got to spend the afternoon with my son, chatting about everything while we worked on cutting up 2 pigs that he raised for the last 5 months and will feed us for the next 18 months.
