Year 4 Day 65 “Living the Dream”. Thursday, 7/04/2024. Clifty Hill 2 – Happy 4th of July. We celebrated the 4th with hot sunny weather and family fun. We ate a lot!!
Played some games
and gave some house tours.
Marley gave me a pair of earrings she made with Kentucky Crinoids she found in the blueberry farm creek. I had never heard of crinoids before. How cool are these. Crinoids are known as sea lilies because they live on a stem and have a flower-like body. They are like starfish with a stem. They still exist but are uncommon in the oceans today. They were very abundant in the shallow tropical seas during the Paleozoic era. Throughout this time period Kentucky was covered in shallow tropical seas and crinoids covered the sea floor. The Paleozoic era lasted 289 million years and was 541 to 252 million years ago. Paleozoic means ancient life. During this time, plants and reptiles began moving from the seas to the land. The most common crinoid fossils are the individual button-like plates that made up the stem. Crinoid fossils can be found today in the Pennsylvanian rocks of Kentucky.
Most people ended their day with fireworks. We ended our day with a really really nice first shower in this house and looking at picture of Jenna and her family’s day.
Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
EUHOMY 12 Volt Refrigerator: https://amzn.to/4dIbdOW This is the best low wattage refrigerator. Keeps things really nice and cold without using a lot of our battery wattage. The size is really nice, it holds a lot. It is kind if difficult to get to items on the bottom. There are three compartments, and you do stack items in them. It is perfect for our needs, and I could see using this refrigerator in a traveling van, camping, or road tripping. It operates on AC or DC.
