He is so pretty! Skylar could have it finished already! Maybe today? Your fig tree will take off in two-three years. I'm debating whether to prune mine or not. We are really enjoying the Berkey! The cookbox is an interesting experiment! I will try it again! Thank you! I love sharing!Felecia Cofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454535396468307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-12426765638077213892013-05-09T11:20:24.317-07:002013-05-09T11:20:24.317-07:00I feel behind as somehow I've missed this post...I feel behind as somehow I've missed this post of yours with the beautiful Rose-breasted Grosbeak at your feeder! Skylar is working hard on the mulch and that is going to be beautiful when done. Okay, still have fig tree envy too!! My birthday present from last year (my very own fig tree) is growing well and we may have figs this year..... though it is not in any way near the size of yours. Nice your family all lives so close to be able to enjoy each other so. Your new Berkey looks neat! The stainless steel looks great in your kitchen. We have a filtered water system through our refrigerator door - thankfully - as I like my water to taste like water too.... like 'no taste'! Your cookbox is interesting and thinking about the question you asked - sometimes I use a crockpot, but it's more because of how it cooks the meat, than saving electricity. We have 'grill night' once a week, but again, it's more for the diverse flavor. Thank you for all the things you share with us!

The cookbox is something used in countries where they don't have much fuel for cooking. It extends their use of cooking fuel. I've watched some tutorials on this and found how easy it is, and it works! Now I like that idea! I will run that by the hubs! But who's going to dig the hole? Thanks, Jacky, you too!Felecia Cofieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454535396468307243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386096058136077226.post-90723528545734463072013-04-30T07:57:20.045-07:002013-04-30T07:57:20.045-07:00Hi Nancy!

This is just my version. The easiest way is to use a laundry basket and line it with blankets. The Berkey is nice!

Nice that the your parents can enjoy them too. Cooking in a box - never heard of it. I have heard of people making smokers out of old refrigerators; even root cellars (only you bury it in the ground). Have a great day.

Almost done with it and lost it! So is a cook box just two cardboard boxes? I have a one gallon Berkey and love it!! Love the purple and white iris!
