Not many mosquitoes yet ....

This week I got one of those e-mails that's sent by people to 40 or so of their friends .. it's usually something political or inspirational or a great photo of something in NYC or a helpful hint like this timely Heloiseish (sorry, Ish) one ...

Here is a good thing for the summer, for those who like to sit and enjoy the outdoors, but don't like those pesky mosquitoes. It was given at a gardening forum:

Put some water in a white dinner plate and add just a couple of drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing soap. Set the plate on a porch or patio. Mosquitoes flock to it and drop dead or fall into the water or on the floor within about 10 ft.

Works just super!


I realize that with all the great outdoors of Canada that you have to deal with, there aren't enough plates in China, so to speak, not to mention Lemon Fresh Joy, to deal with your mosquito problems.

I've only seen one butterfly this year, black with gold edging on the wings, Widow's Shawl I believe it's called.

It's rained so much I think all of the skeeters have been washed away. Ticks are bad this year though.

A brown nubian goat was born in Florida with a white #3 on it's side. #3 was the late, great Dale Earnhart's number on his NASCAR race car. That goat is worth a fortune as NASCAR fans have been lining up to see it.
