ThINC Nature House: Wed, Aug 24

9:00 am start: Wednesday Wander at Fairyslipper Forest (all ages)

Join us for our last wander of the summer! Come out and identify bird and plant species with us one last time! This morning Linnea will be focused on pointing out edible and medicinal plants along the path; and, as always, we will be logging what we see on iNaturalist and eBird, see you there! 

2:00 - 4:00 pm: Make your own all-purpose cleaner using herbs from the PAG, Lot 62 North Cove Road (all ages)

Today we will be creating a vinegar-based all-purpose cleaner using the bountiful herbs from our People’s Apothecary Garden. This homemade cleaner is a natural and powerful alternative to store bought cleaners which can have harsh chemicals. For the cleaners we can use mint, rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage and lemon balm, all of which smell great and will clean super well! Come on down to create your own unique cleaner alternative.

Butt Out

Someone is dropping cigarette butts on the private driveway that starts at 158A Pilkey Point Road and carries on as a private service road for the owners of Lots 159 to 164.  If you must smoke while you are trespassing, please carry your cigarette butts home in your pocket.

Thank you, 158A

Lambs For Sale

I have a few lambs to sell as meat or flock starters. They are beautiful and healthy sheep that have been bred for their exceptional quality fleece. 

If you are interested in starting a flock, let me know and I can help.

If you would like to purchase a side of lamb, cut and wrapped, they are processed at a government inspected facility. A side works out to just under 30lbs and the price is $10/ lb hanging weight. 

I am happy to answer any questions and if you think you might be interested in a single cut or in stew, mince or sausage, please let me know.  

Thank you for your interest!

Theo Monk is Home

Theo is back after 3 weeks. Dehydrated but ok and purring up a storm.

Thanks to all the wonderful islanders who looked, listened, checked their sheds, sent tips, photos, encouraging stories...

He spent the last few days very high in a cedar tree.
Where he was before that he is not saying.

Special thanks to Penelope and Craig (and Hudson!), Steph and Chad
and Silvaticus who literally put the cat in the bag and brought him down to earth.

With appreciation from Jollity Farm

Missing Flat Deck Trailer with Cedar Sides

We bought this trailer (please see picture) from the previous owners of the Black Sheep Farm on Mill Road in mid-July. When we arrived on site on July 16, it was gone, nowhere to be found. One month later it is still missing.

If you see it anywhere on the island, please let me know.

If you borrowed it as part of a previous agreement with the previous owner, please return it to the farm: no questions asked, but no more borrowing without asking us first!

Thank you, Sheila Abel algaefresh@gmail.com
