P.S. I apologize for the belated & short issue - most of my time this past week was spent caring for (and now mourning the loss of) my cat. After he passed away yesterday I lost all motivation so this is the best I could manage in the time given. As always, if there are any inaccuracies just let me know and I will edit to fix!
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. Its never fun when you lose an animal on the homestead.
Great issue of the Weekly Homesteading Newsletter and I hope you have a better week ahead!
Thank you for your effort despite the trying time you are going through! It's a great issue as always :)
Much love,
@amymya
