Posts Just For You- This Week at ActiveRain October 6 to October 12, 2024

  

Every day there is something to learn here at ActiveRain.  With this series, I highlight posts that gave me that lightbulb moment. It could be something techie, a post about Real Estate or other professions, about a place, or a person. Or, it could be a post that made me sit up and take notice!

Good morning Kathy Streib! next project is a greenhouse so we can grow some things year 'round. For Saturday's Silobration, we gave guests a small produce carton so they could pick cherry tomatoes from the garden. We've been blessed with a bumper crop of them since the temperatures have cooled.
