PETER WOULDN'T DENY THESE SAVINGS EVEN ONCE 🪨🪨🪨

The Sixth Glorious Mystery: How Big Are Your Savings?

When farmers grow the same crop too many years in a row, it can leave their soil depleted of minerals and other nutrients that are vital to the health of their fields.

To avoid this, farmers will often alternate the crops that they grow because some plants will use up different minerals (such as nitrogen) while other plants replenish those minerals. This process is known as “crop rotation.”

So the next time you find that you need to step away from a project to work on something else for a while, don’t beat yourself up for “quitting” that project. Give yourself permission to practice “mental crop rotation” to maintain a healthy brain field.

It’s important, though, to understand that during the fallow period, no nutrients are removed from that ground, and nothing is expected of it. Whatever the land grows then, it keeps, and it gets tilled back in or decomposes in place, to return its energy to the earth.

We’re not allowed, in our current society, to just let our minds be fallow for a bit, to produce nothing for export, to make nothing that can be sold. But it’s part of good land stewardship, to give every field time when it doesn’t need to give you anything back. 

In a very Standard Cliché Fantasy Setting, there's this guy who is very much the good and lovable charming king with a thick glorious beard and big booming voice, who has an extremely untrustworthy-looking pallid Grima Wormtongue -ass scheming advisor, who is slightly misshapen to all directions, hunchbacked and walks with a limp, and has a seedy habit of glaring at people and whispering into the king's ear when people are talking.

There's rumours that the advisor is actually the king's twin brother, whose mere existence is only a myth as well. It's also said that he was actually the one of the two who had been born first, and would therefore have the rightful claim for the throne, and was passed over in favour of his brother. Some even claim that he is the one actually in charge, pulling strings in the shadows and ruling the kingdom in secret.

The thing is, all these claims are true. However, all the ensuing assumptions about their relationship with each other could not be further from the truth. The advisor prince does not hate nor envy the king, nor is he plotting for the king's downfall. That's his brother. He doesn't want the throne. Their parents weren't ashamed of him and didn't "hide him in the shadows", they made the choice to keep the more fragile and vulnerable prince away from the public eye because of how cruel and shitty people can be, especially in the court. In private, they were raised and educated side-by-side just the same, as brothers and equals. He's perfectly happy with staying out of the spotlight and managing spies, assassins, and tax brackets.

The sheep need the hair cut.

Nothing dies for it.

Sheep live pretty much wild for most the year.

Placed correctly they maintain a landscape and help the wildlife that live there to thrive.

Doesn’t use Vast Quantities of land for little product.

Not draining inland fresh water oceans.

Been spending thousands of years perfecting the genetics for this purpose.

Comes in many different kinds of uses.

And the animal it comes off is fully edible.

Also an unshorn sheep can drown if it falls into water, just by the sheer weight of the water its wool can absorb, dragging it down.

A Tunis sheep can live in a large doghouse, and staked in a different place every day, will mow your lawn (buy they get lonely. Buy two).

Light shearing nicks heal fast because the sheep’s waxy lanolin coats their skin. Though most sheep farmers won’t Nick the sheep bc it gets blood on the wool.

Sheep farmers MUST treat their sheep with care, because any little thing that upsets sheep affects the quality of their wool.
