CRUNCHY DOMESTIC GODDESS’ 5 MINUTE SHOWER CHALLENGE : One day this week I stayed in the shower for 10 minutes due to a sore shoulder. The water massage blasted it. I felt so guilty I didn't shower the next day.
CRUNCHY CHICKENS' SWEATY BUTT-CRACK CHALLENGE: No A/C. Nope. No way.
MELINDA'S GROWING CHALLENGE: Borage is in full bloom, the flowers do not taste like honey they taste like cucumber! I didn't realize how big the plant would get- next year it will get it's own spot not share with my huckleberries. Gave the broccoli some liquid gold.
JENNIFER'S STOP THE LEAKS CHALLENGE: Caulked the windows. Adding a duo-pane window to the kitchen on the southern wall, hoping to help warm the kitchen and give some light, too

Glad the borage is doing well. Saw some in the Seattle Tilth garden and they were close to 3' tall! My huckleberries are gignormous. They're 4' tall, 4' wide, and ready to take over the world!! However, they taste... tart. What the heck do you do with them? Jam I guess...?
I'd count those windows in managing things.
If that isn't learning something new, you are quite handy!
Melinda- Huckleberries are tart. They make fine jam but also make fine pies!
Verde-I never thought of that. Not new- I've had to do it before on this old dump
