Keeping/cleaning a bird bath
I saw a post on gardenweb not too long ago,... but can not find it any more using the search option. I was wondering what is the best sure fire way to keep a bird bath from becoming so grungy and scummy during the growing season? I just cleaned mine the other day, and frankly it was beyond nasty. The algae was so think in it. I try to empty it every 3 days and add fresh water,...(to keep the water clean & avoid mosquitos) and but the algae is relentless. It just keeps getting worse. Is there a natural way to curtail the growth? And what are some of the safer means to clean the bird bath, when I can't stand it anymore? I tried a scrub brush, and a scraper this time, but I was wondering if there are some natural products out there I can use to make the job easier and more complete? Baking soda maybe?
Please advise if you can. ;o)
Thanks and sincerely,
Debby O
Debby: Luckily I haven't had a problem with my birdbath so far. But if you go to your local pet store, you should be able to find an algae inhibitor. It's safe for fish and other pets, so it won't harm the birds if they drink it. I've used it in my aquarium with some success. It's not that expensive- probably $3 or $4 for a small bottle.
Ok thanks. ;o) That was a very fast repsonse! I appreciate the advice. I thought I had also read that one can put some lavender sprigs in the bird bath to minimize the algae growth. Is there any founded truth to that? Have you ever heard of that?
Also, do you think baking soda is safe to use to clean the bird bath when it needs a thorough cleaning? It seems like it would be safer for the birds etc,... than maybe ammonia, clorine bleach or ajax cleanser.
Treat your bird bath with bleach first (which will kill every algae around). Rinse well, and add fresh water. The problem is algae inhibitors may not be too good for birds to drink. YOu didn't mention how deep is the bath, but if you can bring in an aquatic plant that produces oxygen, it would help to prevent algae growth (regrowth).
Thanks for the extra tips ;o) The idea of an aquatic plant is an interesting one. That would be very cool for many reasons. I have a pretty deep bird bath too,...... have you actually tried the aquatic plant method?
I did clean the bird bath out with some bleach water and scrubbed it as much as I could.
I just didn't know how the bleach would affect the birds.
I figured I would rinse it out as best as I could and let it dry in the sun for a day. Now I can throw in a penny in for good measure (good luck), and hopefully we are good to go!
When it comes to algae, let me tell you that it's tricky. There are the regular algae in which you can keep in check with fresh aerated water (lots of oxygen) and then there's the types that can suddenly bloom on you and get your water quite stagnant. The blue green algae is one such algae. It is very foul smelling and grows in thick slimy sheets. Interestingly, it is not a true plant form but somewhere half bacterium and half plant -- which is why, another way to kill off this type of algae is to use fish antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off bacteria.
I'm an aquarium owner - I have what is called a nature aquarium, meaning I grow plants in it and have fish more for the decorative aspect of it. As I was growing, my parents kept at least 2 large fish ponds which had loads of valesneria(spelling), hygrophilla, water lettuce, water hyacinths, lilies and papyrus. There was no serious problems in algae.
Algae is not somehting you can prevent, but only that you can keep in check. Algae spores travel through air and also in water. When it the conditions are right, they will grow quickly. They love low oxygen, stagnant conditions, and loads of sunlight. Also bird poops just adds to the conditions they will thrive in. There should be several type of pond plants that can grow in your bird bath and help to produce oxygen. Why don't you go and check your local pond suppliers for ideas if you wish to go with this idea. Or.....
Another thought other than plant is to place a small fountain in your bird bath. That should be enough to oxygenate the water and help clear it of algae. There are several small types around that wouldn't be difficult to install.
I have an unfinished cement birdbath that has this same problem. The more the birds use it, the harder it is to clean. But since I have to fill it with water at least every other day, I just bought a scrub-brush from Walmart and scrub it out every time I fill it with water. I had to try a couple of scrub brushes before I found the one that works the best. My birdbath has a raised design on the inside, so the best brush for me is one with a long handle, bristles that are plastic and round like a half-baseball, and a small 1-2 inch long brass-bristle scrubber. I think they called it a potscrubber and it cost me about $2. The brass bristles are the best for getting down inside the design and cleaning out the mold. Now it takes me just a couple of minutes every day or two to keep the birdbath clean. If you wait until it gets really dirty, though, it's much harder to clean.
I would be very hesitant to use any kind of chemical cleaner, even bleach or toothpaste. Our wild birds are already exposed to more than enough chemicals, in my opinion.
I have also wondered whether adding a glaze or finish to the inside surface of the birdbath might help. I have a glazed pottery one, but I've been using it as a pot base for the last few years (it's impossible to find anything else big enough to fit under some of my large pots). I've never noticed mold or algae growing on the edges of this ceramic birdbath (that's all I can see for the pot.)
The chlorine in bleach will evaporate in no time after cleaning and rinsing, especially if your birdbath is in the sun, and is not going to be around long enough to harm anything.
I'm glad this thread got started as I am having the same problem and am tired of scrubbing. Prevention of bloom to start with would be great.
I must be the only person who power-washes my birdbaths,
My resident algae is reddish brown and sticks like glue. No amount of scrubbing removes it, short of power washing.
I make mosaic bird baths and if the tesserae can stand up to a power wash, I figure it's a keeper!
I use vinegar once every two weeks. My bird bath is a terra cotta planter resevoir -- and it can get a buildup of salts from our alkaline water. I remove the birdbath, dump in some vinegar and let it soak an hour. Come out, scrub it out with a toilet brush and rinse it out.
Works great at that nasty stuff from the bird doo.
I just put a piece of copper pipe in my birdbath and it stayed clean all summer.
I use a terracotta saucer as a birdbath and it gets green fast. I dump the water. Add a teaspoon of baking soda with enough water to make a thin paste. Crumple up a plastic grocery bag, or similar item I was going to throw away anyhow. Use the crumpled bag to scrub out the algae with the paste of soda and water. Takes just a few seconds. Rinse out the soda with clear water. Soda is a mild abrasive. You could then rinse with vinegar and water which dissolves any soda traces and also kills germs. I read somewhere that straight vinegar kills more germs than lysol but there is no money selling vinegar as a cleaner. If you want to test how well vinegar dissolves soda, wash your stovetop with baking soda and water. Rinse well. Let it dry. The stovetop will still have a baking soda 'haze' that is almost impossible to rinse away. Now sprinkle the stove top with a bit of vinegar and wipe down with a wet sponge. Rinse off with water. The soda haze will be gone and the stove will sparkle
Our birdbath got to looking so bad I was seriously thinking of doing away with it....Mentioned this to our daughter and she said she heard put a copper penny in it.
Well I cleaned it one day, filled with new water and dropped the 4 " copper tube my husband had cut for me....Last summer the birdbath looked good, When watering the flowers I would swish out the old water and fill with new. I am a believer in that copper story. Saf
Kaymidga, to answer you question about a porous birdbath, I found a type of paint/sealant just for that purpose. I donÂt remember the brand name, but found it in the paint isle of a home improvement mega store. It is specifically for sealing water prone areas like pools. My concrete birdbath would empty itself after a few days due to a hairline crack, after applying the sealant two years ago itÂs not leaked since.
Also, I canÂt wait to try some of the great ideas posted to keep alge down! Hurrah! I had given up on it being clean between scrubbings.
I put water plants in mine . I gathered them when we took the canoe out on the river last month. I have water lettuce and a water hyacinth and some other tiny green plants. It has been three weeks and the plants are still alive and the bird bath is clean. I just keep adding more water. Funny thing- the birds don't seem to mind the plants at all. I had a robin and two gray tufted titmice there yesterday -- all splashing around at the same time ! Sometime soon I will have to gather more but only because the birds splash them over the sides. Some one else suggested this and it really works- especially if you live in a warm climate.
I've found bleach to be the only real help and then, in my case at least, it only lasts for a few days; and of course the bath should be thoroughly rinsed before putting it out again.
The pennies/copper idea is interesting, presuming that it doesn't harm the birds at all. I guess if the bath is flushed and renewed every day it should be ok. Must try that.
I must be the obsessive-compulsive type (LOL), cause I empty, rinse and refill my birdbaths every day.
I normally put a half a bucket of water from the pool in them along with tap water...seems to keep down the algae.
I'll be adding a couple of pennies and some water plants........what a capital idea!
A million thanks to the person who suggested copper! We have 2 solar powered birdbaths that were just disgusting from the algae. I had tried everything I could think of  scrubbing them every day, and periodically cleaning them with vinegar or Clorox. Nothing worked. I went to the hardware store and got some copper tubing and put a circle of about 18" in each birdbath last weekend. The results have been nothing short of miraculous! Not only did the algae stop growing, but every day a little bit more of it scrubs off the bottom of the birdbaths. It's even coming up out of the little indentations where the scrubby doesn't reach. The birds don't seem to be bothered in the least by seeing it either. (I did have some concern that it might say "SNAKE" to them, but apparently not.) It sounds like an old wives' tale, but it works like a charm.
If too much copper is harmful to humans, I was also wondering about the birds. cornmeal slows down algae growth, but does not eliminate it. at my previous home I only had green algae, but here on well water I have a red growth. my bird bath is hard to drain, therefore harder to clean.
I agree about the apple cider vinegar. I use 1 Tablespoon to a gallon in my chicken waterers to keep the algae down. We are in well water here and it will turn the waterers green in a week without it. It is harmless to birds. One thing though, you should use the apple cider with the 'mother' in it. It is the cloudy kind that you can get at health food stores not the distilled type from most grocery stores.
I am so glad I found all these comments! I finally got a bird bath last weekend and didn't even think about it getting that green algae stuff. Now I know how to safely clean it and keep it nice for all the birds!! It's really hot here in Texas! 100 degrees on my front porch!!
Using copper in the birdbath to keep it clean makes sense to me. I recently had a strip of zinc put on my roof (this metal was used as it went better with the color of my roof, copper would have been used if my roof was dark)This was to prevent mold & algae buildup. I am going to try the copper myself & hope it helps. I don't think the copper would harm the birds as they do make copper birdbaths (must get HOT!)

David Cronenberg, Sarah Polley, Xavier Dolan Dominate Top Canadian Film List
TORONTO – Xavier Dolan's award-winning film Laurence Anyways bowed in Cannes, where it earned an acting award for Suzanne Clément, before taking the best Canadian film prize in Toronto.
But the Montreal director missed out on possibly becoming an Oscar nominee when fellow Quebec filmmaker Kim Nguyen saw his Congo child soldier drama Rebelle chosen by Canada to contend in the Academy Awards' best foreign language film category.
PHOTOS: 'Cosmopolis' Premiere: Robert Pattinson Makes First Red-Carpet Appearance Since Kristen Stewart Cheating Confession
On Tuesday, Dolan and Nguyen came together when, along with David Cronenberg, Deepa Mehta and Sarah Polley, they saw their latest work make the Toronto International Film Festival's top film list of 2012.
In a competitive field, a panel of industry professionals put Cronenberg's Cosmopolis, which stars Robert Pattinson, Mehta's Midnight's Children, a collaboration with Salman Rushdie, and Polley's documentary Stories We Tell on the 12th edition of Canada's Top Ten list.
Also making the cut is Michael Dowse's hockey comedy Goon, which stars Seann William Scott and Jay Baruchel, Michael McGowan's Still and Peter Mettler's The End of Time.
Rounding out the 12th edition of Canada's Top Ten list is Sean Garrity's My Awkward Sexual Adventure and Nisha Pahuja's The World Before Her.
The ten best Canadian films of 2012 will tour Canada to build awareness of homegrown films, to include an early January run at Bell Lightbox in Toronto.
STORY: Jay Baruchel Working on Canadian Hockey Comedy 'Goon' Sequel
Left off the best film list was Sudz Sutherland's Home Again, which stars CCH Pounder and Tatyana Ali, Jason Buxton's Blackbird, which won the best debut Canadian feature at Toronto, and Brandon Cronenberg's debut feature Antiviral, which bowed in Cannes.
And unlike recent years, Quebec films did not dominate the Canadian film list, with pictures like Manon Briand's Liverpool, Luc Picard's Esimesca and Claude Desrosiers' L'Empire Bosse also ending up as notable omissions.

The "FUN" title gave it away. u should have used news. April Fool's to you too buddy.
What gave it away is when I scrolled over it said April Fools.
What gave it away to me was already knowing what day it was
That one was just cruel since I want it to be canceled soooo bad! lol
Feed the Birds. It's not just a song, it's a way of life.
that was not soo nice! i totally was wishing they would cancel it!!!!

Axed would have been better
or cut from the budget

-Al LutzTo that end I'd like the Internet community to join me in reminding the Disney company that "it all started with Walt." As you can see below we've created some T-shirts, plus a few simple graphics that you can copy and paste into your websites to let folks know how you feel.
That would be great if it were true. Non-musical Disney movies should not become musical stage shows. The Finding Nemo show at Disney World is horrible.
Did you read the other twenty five April Fools threads and decide there needed to be another? lol

Her gym playlist also includes Beyoncé, and J. LO! But — Whip My Hair. Awesome. Let's all watch the video right here, right now.
First she shaved it all off, then dyed it green, and now her head is the color of a highlighter. Won't she just grow it back so she can whip her hair back and forth for us again?

Milan striker Maxi Lopez appears to be the latest footballer to pull a Ronaldinho, as the interwebs are awash with pictures that seem to depict the Argentinean putting on a clothes-less webcam show. The leak is said to have angered his model wife Wanda Nara, who gave birth to their third child two weeks ago. Presumably, she'll calm down when she remembers she has her own infamous leaked sex tape.
According to Sport.es, Nara's lawyers insist the pictures are fake:
"They are old and absolutely fake", said lawyer Ana Rosenfeld. "He has had short hair for more than a year. It's just an old picture of his face put on a body that isn't his."
An investigation has been launched into the leak, and if you're so inclined, you can do your own investigation with slightly more NSFW images on Sport's site.

OMG! what fun we had! Judy was frogging an item she was no longer happy about and it got severely tangled. She was using multiple yarns in different weights and textures. The fuzzy one kept on getting caught on the one with slubs, etc. Finally, there were five of us working on this - two unraveling and untwisting and three of us winding balls from the yarn as it was freed from the snarl. We don't know what everyone else thought who watched us, but we were laughing and having a good time as we worked through it all.

crepe myrtle scant blooms help! not blooming well
This Miami or Sioux (not sure which, lost it's tag) Crepe Myrtle was planted 2 yrs ago. It has never bloomed well.
It is now July 24 th. Like last year, it grew about 3 ft or more of long limbs and it's just recently produced the few small buds you see here ( I think there is one larger bud) .
It receives 8 hours of full sun each day. Other Crepe Myrtles in my area are in much less sun and they are either full of buds or fully blooming.
I trimmed it just a little during the month of February. No fertilizer , just applied some compost with wood chips in Late May / early June.. I do not fertilize my lawn.
As you can see I pulled the compost / wood chips (about 2 - 3 inches worth) away from the base. Does it appear that it has sunk or was planted too deeply?
PLEASE HELP!!! Why won't it bloom profusely?
Should I wait it out till next year or dig it up and get a better specimen?
PLEASE.....also if you can help identify if it's a Sioux or Miami that would be appreciated.
i guess that all of them do not bloom as vigourous as others. I see them around my town and some are full of flowers and others are not. Your tree also seems fairly young. I think it is a miami variety but i cant be sure.
here is a pic of one i just planted last weekend. It is full of buds but has not bloomed yet. It is about 4 feet tall.
Yours has beautiful buds. Congratulations.
My tree is atleast 15 ft tall so it's not that young, I don't think.....it should certainly have shorter limbs and more blooms. Yours is only 4 feet tall and you have nice buds and what looks like sturdier limbs.
Are you saying that Miami Crepe Myrtles don't bloom as well as other crepes? can't tell exactly from how you wrote your response.
No, i mean crape myrtles in general.
Some wont bloom the same as others.
When im driving down the highway i see several that are planted next to each other and they are obviously the same type but some will have more blooms than the others.
I though your tree was about 8 feet tall, lol. It doesn't seem like its near 15 feet. Do you know how old it is?
It was much taller than me, 7 - 8 ft when I bought it. It has grown atleast 3 feet each of the past 2 years (maybe 4 or more feet, it's hard to tell exactly because I've trimmed it a little each February.
I have no idea how old it was when I bought it. paid a lot for it and it has been VERY disappointing.
As you said it could be that this particular tree is a late bloomer (must not be Sioux because I've heard Sioux Crepes are one of the more profuse bloomers).
Gee I wish someone could direct me. It's too late to buy a replacement this year.
Thank God My pink Velour is blooming great.
Oh. One piece of advice that might help open your buds...if it hasn't rained there recently then you might want to give it a good soaking with the hose.
I guess you're already doing that since you just planted yours.... watering it frequently during this hot weather.
I find that with my Pink Velour that when it hasn't rained, that if I give it a good soaking then it will bloom the next day.
Watering might make more blooms pop (I don't know), but, in general, crApe myrtles will bloom fairly well in relatively dry conditions. CrApe myrtles are much more drought-tolerant than many other shrubs and trees.
As already mentioned, I think your crApe is likely to produce significantly more flowers in future years. Younger/more recently planted ones are typically not going to bloom their heads off.
okay. I need patience I guess. can anyone verify that this tree is Miami ? or Sioux ?
I'd love to be able to identify it.
also, can anyone tell me if it is planted too deeply / sunken?
It is getting more and more buds on it. So hopefully it will put on a show soon. If so, I'll rephotograph it.
There is a website called crapemyrtleguy.com
He has his email and phone number listed on it.
You can ask him what kind it is.
He also sells many different varieties so if you want another one you can also buy from him.
I texted him earlier this week and he responds very quickly!
Oh.I contacted that CrapeMyrtleGuy website and the man who emailed me back said it looked like my CM was healthy.
Another note: yesterday I looked close at where I had pruned it in Feb. to see how much was new growth. This tree almost doubled in size in this one season so it is putting most of it's energy in the limbs and much less in the blooms.
The shorter branches you see on the left are just about how tall it was in February.
The first 3 inch bloom appeared on those smaller branches maybe first or second week of July.
WIsh I knew why my tree put so much energy into growing long limbs and fewer blooms.
What can I do to get a bushier tree with more blooms might be a better question. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Im glad the crape myrtle guy said it looked healthy!
Tons of the buds have been opening up on mine. Im so excited. I will try to post a pic later.
What i can suggest ( i dont know if it will work or not) is to clip about 4 inches off of all the top branches with the blooms on them and new growth should appear out of the cuts. The new growth might make tons of flowers.
But dont do it until later in the year when the plant is dormant.
What can I do to get a bushier tree with more blooms might be a better question. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Just wait. It's a BABY! Miami and Sioux grow at least 25-30 feet tall. They will slow down growth as they reach their adult size and blooms will be more abundant.
Concentrate your pruning now on getting a good trunk and limb structure for what will be a small tree - prune out any branches that are crossing, rubbing and heading the wrong way. Start pruning the lower branches off to get a tree form you can walk under. As it grows, keep pruning up.
Don't cut the tips off the main shoots to make the tree "bushier" unless you want a "witch's broom" clump of twigs at the top of the tree. Clip the tips of the side branches that you are planning to prun off in a couple of years.
tlbean, glad to hear yours is blooming. I'd love to see photos . My pink velour is doing great. What color is your CM?
lazygardens I will try pruning as you suggest but my tree is not tiny... it is over 15 feet now (maybe betting close to 20 ft) tall so it won't be easy. I don't want it to look like a witch's broom chopped straight across the top..... but I do want it bushier. Right now the top half are long limbs that don't branch much at all.... I'd prefer shorter sturdier limbs that branch out some. Each of those top limbs are about 4 ft long and straight with little branching.
My goal is of course more blooms but I definitely want to avoid that lollipop look you see from Crape Murder. You know with all the growth at the tippy top and bare legs. Maybe that's what you meant when you said a witch's broom. I'd like a fuller / bushier more natural look if possible but not out of control crazy either. Hopefully I'm making myself clear.
Here is a short video that i just shot about an hour ago with close ups of the blooms.
And here is a new pic.
Please post one of the pink velour!
Beautiful. Do you know the name of yours? Razzle Dazzle?
Here is a pic of my Pink Velour. It is a cloudy day so you can't see how deep neon pink it is.
My other tree almost double the size of the pink velour but still slow to bloom. Atleast it's forming buds.
I've never seen Centennial Spirit in any of the Big Box stores or Nurseries around here. The one that looks similar to yours is called Razzle Dazzle I think.
I see you posted a question about taking clippings from the highway. that is so funny.
I responded to that post. This week I took several cuttings from Store Parking Lots. I guess we're obsessing over Crape Myrtles. hee Hee.
Another obsession I have, Maybe you'll catch it is...
The kits show up in stores around the Fall for Christmas Presents. Sometimes they go on sale for a few dollars.
You can get the Amaryllis bulbs on Ebay too.
I have too many Amaryllis.... let's just put it that way. After the bulbs from the kits bloom, I just let them grow in a sunny window.
When Danger of frost is past, I put them out in their pots in the garden and feed them with Miracle Grow.....then.... they come inside to my basement in Oct. 31 (or before the first frost
The leaves die down and the bulbs in pots stay in my Basement all winter..... By March of the next year they push up buds. I start watering them and put them near the window and they produce the most beautiful flowers.
Believe me, if you try Amaryllis you most likely get hooked. Check out the garden web amaryllis forum if you're interested.
Attached is a pic of my Peke Ziggy with one of those Chrismas time Amaryllis Kit flowers. This one is called MINERVA. I think I paid $2 for it after Christmas (Home Depot).
Here's a funny article from SOuthern Living Magazine about Crepe Myrtles.
I don't know, gotta be careful with that 'dwarf' word. I love the Dwarf Hopi, and the Dynamite Red. They are all very vigorous. Actually, I was sure the red was dead after last winter, but it grew back with a vengeance! These have been in the ground for a few years, but like I say, I do cut them back as the plot in the front is small (95% of my yard is in the back). The front gets full sun, all day and can get quite hot. These are Catalpa (purple ones)... (Have to post my Zuni post in a separate post as I am not sure how to do multiple pics here.)
I'm so jealous. Love the picket fence too. My front yard slopes , so a picket fence would look weird. I think it looks better w/ a flat yard.
Your taller CM Zuni looks a little like my pink CM. I'm trying to identify it. Maybe yours is a little more powder puff pink. Mine is a pepto bismol pink.
Taking a walk this morning, I noticed the neighbors' CM blooms are starting to wane a little and my Unidentified pink CM still hasn't bloomed much at all. So disappointing.
August 5 th and have to say I'm thoroughly disgusted with this tree.
It is just beginning to bloom . It's blooming SLOWLY and the blooms look dusty to me. The color is muted not a beautiful pink but a duller pink.
I paid ALOT for the tree .... and it is not performing.
I might list it on Craigslist in the Fall as a giveaway...Have someone come and dig it up and take it for free.
Patience. Some times they just need several years to get of a critical size to really bloom well.
Next Spring I would remove a few of the lowest limbs and 'head back' the tallest ones about 6 inches to promote more of a 'canopy' up top. More branching should = more blooms.
What I did this year was remove the lowest limbs. I did not do this for the bloom, I just like the look of the multiple trunks. The bark of a Crape is part of the attraction (color and bark naturally exfoliates).
I would give the tree some time. I don't know if it's patience, I just have so many gardening interests that any particular tree or shrub might sulk for a few years w.o. me even noticing. Trees and shrubs are not said to be fully established for up to three years after planting! So too, It might be a soil thing. I did feed mine once in the season as it was pushing new growth, otherwise I do nothing special for them. Make sure you clear the weeds over the drop line and do mulch. (Summers here are usually wet enough to eliminate the need for any watering.)
Boy oh boy, do the honeybees love their blossoms!
OK. Here is is Aug 14 , 2014. It is starting to really bloom.
I'm feeling a little happier but worry that it will always bloom so late .
I think I can rule out it being a Sioux because the leaves are not a darker green. Also the bark is a darker cinnamon than the Sioux on the National Arboretum website.
So I think it is a Miami which will probably grow too tall for the space. 30 ft would be too tall. I was hoping it was a Sioux and would grow a little smaller.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
2 years ago I paid around $140 and the tree was on sale.
I bought it from a nursery that has been in business for a long time in my area (not a big box store).
The Pink Velour I bought from Lowes is doing just as well or better.
The problem with it blooming late is you get less bloom time I've noticed many other Crapes in my area will bloom from June until Sept. If it performs anything like last year it will only bloom until early Sept (one month).

Additional cleaning will be arranged every 2 weeks for longer stays and will be added to the total at time of reservation.
To comply with local regulations there will be an additional 12% tax applied to the nightly rate. This will be collected at check-in and in cash, to avoid additional Airbnb fees.
Interaction with Guests
We let our guest decide how much interaction to have with us. We are available and happy to socialize but we respect our guests' need for privacy if they prefer to be on their own.
Strictly no smoking, no heavy drinking and no drugs.
We live on a narrow road in a quiet neighborhood. We are in close proximity to our neighbors and we expect low noise levels and absolutely no parties in the house.
Had a fantastic stay. The apartment is exactly as it appears on the photos, in a very quiet location, yet close to San Francisco and local shops/restaurants. We took an Uberx taxi from central SF to the apartment one evening which cost us a reasonable $33. Alessandra was very helpful throughout in terms of check-in, providing restaurant recommendations and even offering to post a pair of shorts we left behind. The house is also well stocked with essentials such as detergent, soap, coffee/tea, milk, eggs, butter, as well as biscuits and chocolates. It definitely felt like staying in a home and I would have no hesitation staying again on a future trip.
Our stay in mill valley was even better than expected. Great town and really great accommodations. Beautifully decorated through out, well equipped kitchen, including a few fun treats on arrival, as well as eggs, milk, bread and great coffee for an easy first morning. Great restaurants and beautiful trails in Muir Woods. Would definitely come back. Thank you!!
Alessandra did a fantastic job of providing information before our stay and ensuring that we had everything we needed when we arrived. Her apartment is beautiful and exactly as described. I would definitely recommend this apartment for a stay in Mill Valley.
Alessandra was a great host and the place was as lovely and clean as shown. Our stay was excellent and she was very timely with communication. Highly recommended!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay in Mill Valley, we sincerely wish we could have never left! The apartment was the perfect setting, a fabulous, quiet retreat from the busyness of our days. Easy access to town, grocery shopping at Whole Foods, but it felt as though we were in the middle of nature. So much so, we had three small deer visiting us in the back yard almost every day!
The apartment itself was bright, clean, and very comfortable. Our hosts made sure of that and we are so grateful. Alessandra was a great help upon our arrival with tips on trails in the area, etc, and made herself available when we needed her during our stay. Very responsive and kind.
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful retreat with us! We felt right at home, which is important when someone travels so much!
Both Alessandra and her apartment are absolutely lovely. She thought of every need for the space, and she was an incredibly attentive and kind host. The apartment was very private. Also, the area is very nice, so close to everything, and parking was never a problem. I can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much Alessandra!
The apartment is beautiful. We just spent 3 days in Mill Valley and the apartment was a home away from home, only more stylish. Alessandra was so thoughtful. She bought us some eggs and milk and even left me a cute necklace, which she made, for my birthday. We cooked breakfast, but ate out at night. But there were plenty of tools in the kitchen to make all your meals there. Parking was on the street, but we had no trouble finding a spot. Just be aware that the street is quite narrow and windy. The Dipsea Trail is nearby and we hiked to Muir Beach passing through Muir Woods on our way back. There are countless trails nearby for those that enjoy being outdoor. I would not hesitate to stay at Alessandra's apartment the next time I head to Mill Valley.

When did your Ameraucanas start laying?
I was wondering if any of you all had Ameraucanas and if so at what age did they start laying? My RIR's had all started laying by 5 months but these Ameraucana chicks are over 5 months and no blue eggs in sight. I know they days are getting shorter but my RIRs started laying in December so that didn't effect them. Are Ameracanas more light sensitive? Do yours lay in the winter?
My RIRs are taking turns molting now too so out of 25 hens I'm lucky if I get 9 eggs. My neighbors are all addicted to my free range eggs and I can't keep up with demand.
The roosters seems to think the chicks are old enough to lay eggs, as they are doing their best to make sure that any eggs laid are fertilized ; ) They look ready to me also, they are all at least as big as the RIR hens and most are bigger.
I've tried pep talks, shaming them by comparing them to their redheaded sisters, telling them no one gets a free ride in this life, they just peck at my pants and demand treats. Spoiled chickens.
Do I have duds or was I just spoiled with my RIRs?
My ameraucanas start laying pretty much at exactly 5 months. However, none of them lay through the winter, and then they usually only lay from march until august before molting and then stopping altogether for winter. I've had a few decide to molt right at 5 months old so i didnt get eggs from them until about 7 or 8 months old. My RIRs on the other hand are excellent!
But have no fear, when your ameraucanas do decide to start, it'll be well worth the wait for the yummy blue eggs!
Ha ha ha... :)
They should kick in with the eggs pretty soon. Although it's coming on Winter, when egg production naturally slows...
Most of my girls are molting (it looks like a chicken nudist farm out in my yard!) so between molting & colder, shorter days we're not getting many eggs right now, either. Spring will change all that!
Velvet ~:>
Remember that Ameraucanas come from South American blood. I laugh lately, I turned on the heatlamp in my barn and whenever I go to look, my four Ameraucanas are hogging the space right under it! My chickens are just finishing their molt and returning to the nests, despite the shorter days. It's nice to walk in after work and find five eggs where it had been maybe one or two every couple of days!
Before you know it, you'll be getting those eggs.
Hi Jenica,
ours started laying right around 5 months also. Of course my Ameraucanas have also started molting so I get 2 everyother day and 3 on the third day. It will get down to 20 tonight and it has been raining like gangbusters for about 3 days and with that everyone will slow down - but rest assured like everybody else said come spring that will all change.
Velvet - A nudist colony!!! LOL LOL LOL I did not think I would stop laughing at that visual!!!
Mine are doing the flash for cash in the front yard - people actually stop, they think we have some kind of exotic chickens - I always tell them what is really going on and then they buy eggs! I think they feel sorry for them!
I always tell my girls "Thank you very much"
Thanks everyone for your reassurances. I really hope they do lay through the winter. It doesn't get too cold here and we generally get a lot of sunny days in the winter compared to most places so hopefully that will help. If they take a vacation every winter I'm in for some expensive eggs! With the RIRs they pay for their feed and then some with the extra eggs I sell to my neighbors. With everyone doing holiday baking I have an even bigger demand for eggs. My one neighbor says he goes through egg withdrawal when I don't have enough to sell to him. He jokes about going out and squeezing the chickens!
I feel bad for the molting chickens now that it's getting chilly. Poor girls can't seem to grow back their back feathers because the rooster is overly amorous.
So do the blue eggs taste any different from the brown? I just thought it would be neat to have different color eggs and hadn't thought about the taste.
It seems strange that there are so many featherless (or close to it) chickens out there. In all the years I've raised birds of all sort there has never been any 'nudist' molting going on. It might be they are not getting enough protein during molting season. I usually maintain a 15% protein level in the hens except during a molt. Molts usually occur in September/October in our area so at the begging of September their protein levels are increased to 19-20% by adding more soy meal (you can add chick starter) to their diet. I see an increase in dropped feathers but never bald spots. The egg production continues at their normal rate. At the end of September Grow lux and Sun Stix Fluorescent light are placed on auto times extending the day to 10PM each day (about 3-4 hours/day). I have 16 large egg layers and average 15 eggs/day. The Seramas (210 hens) produce a daily average of 160 eggs. Most Seramas lay only every other day a few lay every day.

Help-Should we make this last minute Drastic change?
The longest GW remodel continues.....
Our latest saga is this, in the baking center, the fridge and freezer are flanking the back wall, sink in the middle. Well.... We decided to make the pantry a foot larger and didn't realize the impact of that lost foot on that wall! The cabinet maker came to finalize measurement and placement of the sink and other cabinets and we were kind of disappointed to say the least. Now the sink looks too large to me for that wall. It can't be centered because we are planning on an 18" DW between sink and refrigerator. DH does not want to change out the sink, he likes it.
Our pantry isn't finished, because it is temporarily holding the fridge/freezer, but we do have a couple cabinets installed. One large cabinet which holds a toaster oven and large cooking accessories.
DH pointed out that we use the toaster much more than the freezer and suggested we move the freezer to the pantry and put regular base cabinets where the freezer cabinet is now. The sink could then stay centered and a bank of drawers would go where freezer cabinet is now for bread, snacks and paper plates that I had originally planned on the left of sink. Not to mention the counter space. With it the way it is, the cabinetmaker can barely fit in a 12" bank of drawers and that doesn't seem large enough to me.
I'm posting some pics to give you an idea of what I'm talking about, I'm sure y'all can help figure this out!!
Thanks so much!
Looking in to area
Your pic is upside down.
It's upsidedowness is coming from how your camera was positioned when you took the pic. You may be able to rotate the image and re-post it, but I'm not a Mac person, so I can't offer advice.
There's a thread on the Home Dec forum that deals with how to take pictures so they appear correctly. I'll see if I can find it for you.
Hope that helps.
Here ya go.
Ths thread discusses the problem, cause, and I think, the fixes for the wrong-way pics.
I know they look OK to you on your device, but for most other people, they are upside down or sideways.
It has to do with where your camera lens is when you snap.
I think the simplest cure is to retake the pics.
Absent that, posting them to a a 3-rd party site like PB that allows rotation and re-posting using html is best. Bonus is that you can post more than one pic ina single post that way.
Look forward to seeing your picsc.
Here is a link that might be useful: Link to thread where bad pics - and cause and fix is discussed
I can't tell much from your pictures...but the way you describe it, I agree with your husband. Put the freezer in the pantry (if possible) and move the toaster out by the sink. It sounds like a better option, especially with the extra drawers :)
Here you go :)
The clicking to re-orient the pics thing doesn't work for most people, alas. Only for some people with certain devices running some programs.
What does work is a kind soul like Lavendar Lass who makes the effort to copy, rotate and repost the pics from their own PB account.
Which is exactly what the OPs could do, if they want to take the time to do so.
I'm not trying to be snarky, but I think that for the most part the burden of right-side up pics should rest with the OP.
Especially now that the cause - and the cure - for this systemic problem are known. It has to do with how the camera is oriented when a picture is taken. But even if/once it's taken incorrectly, it can be remedied by posting from a third party site as LL did.
Thank you so much lavender! You beat me to it! I've been spending all morning trying to figure this out and I added them to my photobucket account, rotated them and was returning to do a test run. I so appreciate your help! As a new iPad user, I had no idea that pictures would appear in any other form other than how they display on the preview when drafting a post! I appreciate it being pointed out, otherwise I would have no knowledge of the bad etiquette apparently being posed on people here to help.
I try to be patient with people when they are trying new things, especially here, we know humans are just that and sometimes need a little patience, guidance, and yes, help, in a lot of instances!
Thanks again lavenderlass.
Seems like the consensus is to move the freezer, although in this lengthy DIY project I hesitate to add more work but DH is willing, and I would rather get it right than have regrets. After all, we are never doing this again!
Thanks for all your input!
If anyone has any more suggestions, I'm certainly open to any and all!
No worries! It's a learning curve...and it took a very nice gal at the Cottage forum quite a while to explain posting pictures to me :)
I see what you mean about piling more work on your DH...but since he seems to like the idea, now might be the time!

Fax from email or Internet
Anyone know how to send a fax from my gmail account
Can you recommend an Internet to fax site (or are there any I should avoid
I have used eFax for years for my business. I have a premium account, which gives me a unique phone number so people can fax back, but they're free for up to 10 outgoing faxes a month, I think.
As an aside - fax is an outdated method of transmitting document, and I *HATE* it that I have to maintain a fax line, but I do!
Here is a link that might be useful: eFax Free
I've used HelloFax (was recommended here @ the KT) & it was easy without problems. The first 5 faxes are FREE. I rarely have to fax so this fit perfectly for me.
Here is a link that might be useful: Check out Hello Fax
Now that I don't get. How is a faxed signature more "authentic" than a document that's been signed and scanned? Same thing, as far as I can see. If one wanted to be deceitful about it, either method would work? And you can be truthful with both methods. So what's the dif?

I love these!!! My favorite brushes out of the 6 has to be the eyebrow groomer and concealer brush. All of the brushs' bristles are incredibly soft. But I have to point out that I was a little bit disappointed with the eyeshadow brush, because I saw that the brush applied the eyeshadow very loosely, making the result a bit messy. Overall, I think this is a very good set, which I got for $17 at Ulta.

Just picked them up from winners the other day because they were so cheap and needed new brushes. I was really impressed by it!! It is unbelievable soft, way softer than my mac brushes. I find that it doesn't shed at all and is super soft on my face. It makes applying my makeup funner. Would reccomend this to anyone.

I really like that this comes with it's own pouch! It's great for keeping other tools you use. I use the blush brush the most for my bronzer, and it's NEVER shed on me after many washes. I'm not much of an eye shadow wearer, but the eye shading brush does work well for it. It's also good for concealing. The concealer brush gives nice coverage too, but you can never have too many concealer brushes imo :) All the brushes work very well. What I like the most is that they haven't shed on me after many washes, and I bought them for a good price :)

I own two sets of these for three years. Every brush in this set is excellent quality, never sheds or looses shape even after rigorous washing. Soft on the skin but firmly packed. Eye shadow brush is best for creams and packing on product over primer. Shades prone to fallout will be slightly harder to work with on the eye shadow brushes.

I LOVE the quality of the blush brush best! Best blush brush I own! It's so soft, NO fallouts, and easy to blend with.
Now, the eyeshadow brush is okay. It works great but not on my little Asian eyelids.
The concealer brush is perfect, I use it to apply my MAC eye primer.
Eyeliner brush is pretty decent as well.
And the brow/lash brush works just like every other brow/lash brush. Repurchase: MAYBE.

Following his mentor Amar Singh, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt on Saturday night resigned as general secretary of the Samajwadi Party claiming he was hurt by the treatment meted out to his "elder brother" by certain leaders of the party.
"When the Supreme Court did not give me chance to contest Lok Sabha elections, Amar Singh made me general secretary of the party. He had said both of us would work for the party from the same position," Mr. Dutt told a hurriedly-called press conference here.
"If he is no more the general secretary, I am also quitting the post," Mr. Dutt said.
He, however, said he would remain in the party as long as Mr. Singh was there.
Mr. Dutt said that though Mr. Singh slogged for the party in his poor health condition, certain party leaders mistreated him.
"Amar Singh was hurt by many people in the party. I am also feeling hurt that he was hurt," he told journalists.
Mr. Dutt said he was also "hurt" by the statement of senior party leader Ram Gopal Yadav, cousin of SP chief Mulayam Singh, that the party had not got even a single seat in Uttar Pradesh due to campaigning by the film star.
"We [actors] are touchy people. I feel hurt. I had slogged in the U.P. polls, but there is no recognition for this in the party... I am happy that I am quitting the post," he said.
Mr. Dutt, however, praised Mr. Mulayam Singh and said he respected him and would continue to work as a "dedicated" worker.
Asked whether he had sought permission from Mr. Amar Singh before quitting the post, Mr. Dutt said: "I have told him that I will do this. But he advised me against resigning. I told him you are my elder brother and we will be on the same pedestal."

IQALUIT, Nunavut - Nunavut has tabled a largely stand-pat budget that forecasts a sliver-thin surplus and focuses on the territory's continuing and interlocked issues of health and education.
"We will be well-educated and self-reliant within successful communities," Finance Minister Keith Peterson said in his budget speech Monday. "We will live comfortably in the modern world, guided by Inuit values and traditional culture."
There is, however, a long way to go before those goals are reached.
The anticipated $36-million cushion on revenues of about $1.6 billion will be the Arctic territory's third surplus in a row.
But the 15-year-old territory is far from self-sustaining. About 90 per cent of Nunavut's revenue still comes from Ottawa and 40 per cent of Inuit families depend on income assistance.
"It's too soon to say we've turned a corner," Peterson said in an interview with The Canadian Press.
There are small, positive signs.
The number of jobs in the territory increased by six per cent last year, fuelled mostly by construction. The Conference Board of Canada predicts healthy four per cent growth in the coming year. Nearly 60 per cent of the territory's working-age residents are employed, slightly better than last year.
And for the first time, Peterson said, their average weekly wage topped $1,000.
"With wages rising faster than inflation, Nunavummiut have more purchasing power," the minister said in his speech. "All of these are excellent signs for the future."
He acknowledged later that those bright spots aren't spread evenly throughout the territory — or even among people in the same community.
"I walk around Iqaluit quite a bit and it seems like everybody has a truck," Peterson said. "But then I go down to the Tim Hortons and I have coffee and I see a lot of homeless people come in and sit around.
"I know there's people out there that need help."
New spending initiatives are thin in the budget, Peterson's sixth as finance minister.
Most funding increases are modest and targeted at fighting poverty, keeping kids in school and addressing social problems such as the territory's increasing level of violence.
About half of Inuit students drop out before finishing high school. Nunavut's rates of violent crime and family violence against women are eight and 14 times higher, respectively, than the national rate.
The budget offers modest increases to early childhood programs, as well as to other programs to involve parents in encouraging their children to attend class.
The territory's new Family Services Department, created in last year's budget, is receiving a small boost. More money will also be spent on mental health and addictions treatment.
The territory will also introduce responsible drinking campaigns, funded by new regulations that allow money to be raised from booze sales.
Nunavut spent about $30 million on new housing last year out of $100 million provided by Ottawa, and expects to spend the remaining amount this year to build a total of 231 units.
Still, that won't be enough. Studies suggest that Nunavut, with Canada's youngest and fastest-growing population, has a housing deficit of about 3,600 units, with another 90 needed each year.
"I'd sure like to have some help on bigger infrastructure projects," Peterson said. "Housing, for me, is the one that's really caused a lot of problems for us."
But Peterson suggested the government has come a way in its ability to manage its financial resource. As recently as 2010, a government agency underestimated costs for social housing construction by $60 million, leading to deficit budgets.
"We've made tremendous strides in that area. And that gives us some leeway to things with limited resources."
This year's budget is just under five per cent larger than last year's. Because of the ongoing surpluses, Nunavut still enjoys a Moody's credit rating of Aa1, in line with most provinces.

Every year Viewmont holds a fundraiser to support kids in Salt Lake City that attend Guadalupe Elementary School. The monetary amount differs from year to year but has consistently reached upwards of $25,000 in the past 4–5 years.[citation needed] The money is used to buy Christmas presents that the children would otherwise not obtain. Other local charities are also given part of the students' fundraising efforts. Students who wish to attend the trip to Guadalupe must participate in fund-raising activities and help shop for the children's wish-lists.
VHS Marching Band[edit]

Pathways, advisory and SRC[edit]
For the 2007-2008 school year, each student at Viewmont was placed into one of five pathways: Arts, Business, Humanities, Science, or Technology. The pathways "allow students to develop their interests and specialize as much as they would like".[4] Students go to an advisory class twice a month based on their grade and pathway. SRC (Study Hall-Remediation-Collaboration) is a mandatory study hall for students that failed one or more classes the previous term. SRC is also mandatory for all sophomores during the first term of each school year. It is held during the first part of lunch every school day except Fridays. In addition, Viewmont has "Link Crew", a new sophomore transition program, which matches up incoming students with a group of upperclassmen to help connect and educate and facilitate inclusion for all new students.
