I’ve been dreaming of getting a row in the Rio Grande Community Farm garden. I wasn’t the only visitor this morning.
I love sandhill cranes but, if our chickens are any indication, cranes might be kinda tough on a veggie plot. 😁

Heavy metals are turning up in💧wells across the Hermits Peak Calf Canyon fire area. 🔥
Antimony in 93% of wells.
Could fire retardant be the source?
The ONE paper characterizing heavy metals in firefighting products suggests that’s the case.
