What a really beautiful November day! -44 days until Christmas-
Hi friends! -As I went grocery shopping Saturday, I noticed that Christmas music was playing in the store already. People are getting excited about Christmas a little early this year. My daughter said, "I just love Christmas music!" She just smiled. That's good. But the holidays aren't quite here yet. I still have to decide about Thanksgiving dinner. Should I add some new things to the dinner this year? Should I let the girls do the cooking and sit this one out? Should we go out to eat? (then, where?) So many choices...so little time! -I don't know yet.
It was supposed to be dusted over with snow outside when we woke up this morning. Nope. No snow. Just a beautiful day. I need to clean up dog poo outside today. Not a fun job, but it needs to be done nevertheless.*

Flying Bugs on Houseplants
I used to find bugs in my potted plants after I brought them in for the winter.
Filling a spray bottle with water and an inch or two of a product called TENGARD is absolutely the only thing I've ever found that works. I've tried water and dish soap, I've tried vinegar. Regular and apple cider. Finally I tried this product. It's one my husband uses for bugs in the back yard, kills any kind of bug we've needed to kill, even fleas, so I tried it here. We purchased ours at a place called 'American Pride Co-op' but they sell it online also.
Just fill your bottle, spray, and there you go.*
