I need to curb my ambitions. <br /><br />I'm going for my walk early today. last night I scared myself walking after dark, and when I walked past the empty weedy lots, it creeped me out when the weeds would brush my bare legs. I was thinking skunks! snakes! raccoons!<br /><br />Don't worry, we are only close to Thanksgiving in kitchen-remodeling time. Still got a few months otherwise. I don't know Divali and Eid. I'll have to look them up.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134423070092222259.post-74782798984832539582009-08-25T10:35:36.140-06:002009-08-25T10:35:36.140-06:00You've made a start and the washing is definit...You've made a start and the washing is definitely symbolic - not just of doing one last thing for your husband but perhaps refreshing yourself in the process?<br /><br />I am very impressed that you have taken on Jacqui's challenge as have others. I am behind so will have to buck up. i did actually think about it this morning but that's as far as I got! Normally when I get the feeling that I should be exercising, it is a well known fact in my circle, that I take two Panadol and lie down until the feeling goes away!! Seriously I am going to make the effort although you may have seen my reaction to the suggestion on FB!!<br /><br />Thanksgiving?? We are nearly there?? we have two Public Holidays, Divali and Eid to get through before then and then it's Christmas!

Haven't tried it, but the idea appeals to me.<br /><br />This year I bought some environmentally friendly snail bait that has worked well. It's supposed to be not harmful to birds or other wildlife. It is effective, as I see snail bodies around my hostas the next morning. I don't bother to dispose of them as the shells look rather nice among the bark mulch.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134423070092222259.post-18565867507018943152009-08-25T06:15:51.340-06:002009-08-25T06:15:51.340-06:00Beer.

I would like to think of a way to recycle the shredded paper. If I could burn it, I could as least add the ashes to my lasagna experiments. There's such a variety of different types of papers in it, copier paper, glossy colored paper, heavy stock, booklets, etc., I'm wondering if I can come up with something practical without causing myself a lot more work.<br /><br />I sure like the slug control idea. Those little devils have been after my new hostas all summer.Bekkieannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058996951400003081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134423070092222259.post-65775263851910492152009-08-24T11:32:32.838-06:002009-08-24T11:32:32.838-06:00I was enjoying reading your blog till I got to tha...I was enjoying reading your blog till I got to that one more week in August part. I am in denial about summer being almost over.<br /><br />Oh, in NC I used the shredded computer printouts from work to mulch my garden over the winter. It worked wonderfully. So since you have four boxes you might want to consider putting them to use. Wet them down after spreading. And in the spring just rake up and burn. In NC it even put quit to slugs.JBinford-Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14293248281473648182noreply@blogger.com
