It's odd how quickly the light of the day ends. I was able to dig up and store about 800 plants before the temps dropped too much. So many things could make this process easier but those are projects/dreams for another day. At least I was able to walk back to the house hunched over and not have to crawl. :)

I refuse to let age dictate what I can do!

Great to see you enjoying your adventures!
I’m gonna need a little sand for an upcoming build next year. How much you got?

Current stock is just around 34 DC's. I will be collecting more each day.

Been so busy irl, I haven’t had much mc time in a couple weeks, but I need to swing on by and grab sand while it’s in! Tomorrow evening I will try! Thank you for advertising!

The Destroyer of Deserts

In 2021, one person lagged SMP8 every day for 16 hours from January until the end of May. We couldn’t do anything about it, even with all the proof we had.

Congratulations!

Thank you. 🙂

You're welcome!

Thank you. I'll get some more pictures of the chickens. I enjoy sitting outside watching the chickens hang out and eat their fill of grass and weeds that are in the lawn.

We received another 2" of rain yesterday along with two tornado warnings. I've been digging drainage ditches in the garden but there is so much subsoil moisture the ditch never fully drains.

Yeah, the water table has stayed pretty high here too. As for the flowers, I agree! Bringing them back to life could be a pretty good way to liven up the wooded badlands (which I suspect were probably their ancient native habitat from a lore perspective).

Flying mobs path find to holes. Some blaze farm designs use this mechanic actually to get the blazes to the kill box without the need of pistons. I imagine that mechanic passed on to other flying creature’s behavior

True I was using hopper minecarts with 6 Sniffers then I saw someone in chat mention using allays. Now that I'm scalling up the number of Sniffers I figured Allays would be esier. I eventually want to get to 100 Sniffers but I don't know how much area they will need to wander.

That's interesting about path finding to holes. Since an Allay was basically put in game to help gather wouldn't you think that path finding to escape would have been considered counter productive?

I used a string trimmer the other day to clear some tall brush in the yard, finally. Hit a bit of poison ivy. I'm now going crazy trying not to scratch the wicked itch, all over. A summer just isn't complete until I get into a patch of ivy. The yard looks like a lush jungle biome, emerald green. Just need some moss hanging from the trees.

Yeah, it could be handy to set aside a residence for sniffers and ancient crops if you don't already have 4 reses.

As for your yard, yeah, it sure does! We have an actual jungle behind our house, though. Not a tropical one, of course, but in reality, most equatorial rainforests are technically groves, while real jungles are more common in subtropical, temperate and subpolar areas.

I agree! Still, it's a bit tough to make, and I'm reluctant to overuse it.

I think we are now close to 16" of total rainfall for this month. If I was a kid I would have had a blast gathering all the rain coming out of the gutters. I wouldn't have enough buckets to contain it all but I would be rich with water.

Yeah, did you know? In Minecraft, fire spread is limited in the maritime climate of mushroom fields. The only other biomes with reduced fire spread are swamps (I'm not sure whether that applies to mangrove too) and jungles, which makes sense given the high water table and warm, humid and stormy climate respectively.

16 inches is a lot! I remember, we got 21 inches of rain in February 2019. It was raining almost constantly for a lot of the month. That was very unusual even for the rainforests of Southern Appalachia. Still, I'm thankful that we didn't get twenty inches in a day like poor McEwen did in August 2021!

yes please, but "lactose free" for me

I can do that.

Thank you. I took that last month. It's wicked green now. My neighbor said we received around 5" of rain yesterday. There is standing water every where.

Yeah, it normally rains more in Arkansas than Massachusetts. Arkansas is in the top ten rainiest states; Massachusetts isn't.

It’s funny you say that now, since we’re finally getting some rain here, and maybe for a week or so.

Yeah. We were having a bit of a dry spell for a time in early June, but we've had few rainless days in the weeks since. Tennessee is even rainier than AR, but this is still unusual, even during the stormiest months. But El Nino is here, and the sea is warmer than usual; bringing the jet stream south and heating up the Gulf are sure ways to bring more storms to TN!

Good reminder Ty :)

Yep, 👍
