i've found that once they think a place is home they won't be deterred by scented anything. the main help has been to find the gaps they are using and get them completely sealed up - even if there is a tiny crack left if they can sense there is a gap behind it and smell food they'll chew their...
stability is better than up and down...
i think we've entered the "like button" age. when everything thinks that just by pushing a button they can get anything done, but they don't want to do it themselves...
i would also like to stay in bed all morning but once i'm awake it doesn't often...
welcome from mid-Michigan. :)
being somewhat differently abled i have to plan and pace myself for almost everything but i still manage to get most things done (and the heck with the rest...). plus i really hate having to do things twice (or more times) - but that is also what learning is about...
the plain chocolate crackers you can find in bags (Stouffers i think is the brand) for a very reasonable price, and then you don't have to waste the filling.
that one seems super common sense! i sure would not want someone doing something like that on my property. one bad slip of the knife and you're all up in insurance or other legal troubles...

i've only had a Concord grape vine here and it wasn't done in by frost but by the...
so far this season i've only seen one hornet and yesterday i did kill a few black carpenter ants that were scouting around. always something to keep you on your toes...
fish sticks for dinner yesterday and also for breakfast this morning. :) not sure what else we'll have later, but i can graze if i have to...
this morning i need to check out some tangerines we've had sitting for a bit too long, i don't know if they'll be good or not, also need to slice up...
i did get outside for about an hour to work on a garden. very nice weather. :)
most everything is pretty well done from last year so whatever i'm doing now is just keeping up and getting more ready for planting and a few small things that could wait until whenever.
sunny out there, perhaps i can get out to scrape a garden or something useful today. high of 76F forecast already says it's 65F but a bit of a breeze.
i sure can use the exercise but i'll have to take it easy and pace myself.
