Comments (31)Still trying [not so successfully] to get caught up. Joe the Plumber & Jellyroll Morton are two that are real stand outs! Jellyroll especially has always caught my attention. Jack Sprat. Has great color and is vigorous but has one issue: when disturbed [split or something] takes several years to get going again, even if I just work hard to take a piece off of one side and seem not to disturb the rest of it. Joan Senior. Not sure why the camera brought out so much yellow in the throat, but still pretty. Jolyene Nichole poly Judge Roy Bean. It is actually more of a cinnamon color.

Comments (11)We live in a 3500 square foot home and have been battling pantry moths since December 2021. Fortunately, the moths have been contained to our mud room which is a room between our attached garage and the rest of the house. We believe the source was birdseed that had been stored in the mud room. (I have no idea why someon put birdseed in that room!) Although we discovered the moths in December, I am pretty confident that they were there for at least a month or longer before we found them. We found moth pupae in the sealed glass Yankee candles! One blessing was that our actual pantry in the kitchen was free of moths, and remains free. Needless to say we still invested in hundreds of dollars of airtight containers to store our food. Now it is May 2022 and we still are finding moths. Not many though- we went over 3 weeks without seeing one. We thought we finally beat them. The two mud room doors remain closed at all times except when entering or exiting through to the garage. We removed most of the cabinets from the mud room when we did the initial clean out. The mud room is almost completely stripped. We contemplated taking off the trim that goes around the doors and the baseboards…. however we haven’t since there is caulk between the trim and the walls… It seems so ridiculous that an insect can be so disruptive…. So we will continue to monitor and kill on site…A couple of weeks ago, we had mulch delivered for the flower beds - to my disgust, the mulch had moths in them. Not the same as the pantry moths, but moths no less. We paid for 11 yards of mulch and the nursery threw in the moths for free, I suspect… I don’t think there is an answer for any of this. I am just sharing my story, to let others know, if you see a moth in your house, be vigilant - don’t ignore them....See MoreWhat are you reading? May 2021 Edition
Comments (108)Since I know this group will appreciate my thrilling literary luck. Project Hail Mary sounds intriguing and I loved The Martian when we read it for book club a few years ago. So based on your recommendations, I just rolled through the 4 options for how I get library books: hard copy and e-versions on both systems I belong to. And I hit the winning literary lottery ticket! One of the systems had the Kindle version waiting to be snatched up. So I did :). I"m supposed to be giving the house a clean this afternoon but that may have to wait...LOL...See MoreWhat are we reading? Sept 2021 Edition
Comments (104)Finished The Girl with the Louding Voice. About a 14 year-old girl in Nigeria, a tiny twig of a girl refusing to curl up and die in the face of unspeakable horrors. What a dynamite of a book! Heartbreaking at times yet so uplifiting and inspiring. The powerful, piercing, raw language is a fitting voice for the main character — her unbreakable spirit, her searing but unschooled mind, her naive but resourceful ways. I think the story is a believable one, and unfortunately even a common one. I shared an apartment with a Nigerian roommate in grad school. This was 35 years ago and she was from Lagos. Though we are not close friends, I got to know her well and have kept in touch with her. I believe the values and norms of the society described in the book are — unfortunately — accurate ane prevalent even now. The treatment of hired help in the book rang true too. I grew up in India though I’ve lived all my adult life in the US. The dynamics of the wealthy and the working class in the book is, I’m ashamed to say, prevalent in India too, though it’s changing. Finally, the power of education to lift lives out of poverty and oppression can never be as real to others as someone gripped by unspeakable desperation. I come from a relatively privileged background and can’t pretend to understand the life of someone like Odunni in the book, but it was education that allowed me an escape from the vise of patriarchy. Feminism is not a fancy notion, a notion many struggling women around the world don’t even know about. It’s simply a woman’s rejection of her lot in life and her fight to survive. It’s as simple and real as that. The book lays it bare in the most unadorned way. I teared up occasionally. My heart swelled with thrill and pride for the little girl at other times. I laughed out loud at her cheeky little obervations. She will stay with me for a long, long time. salon, faftris, 4kids, thanks for the recommendation. This book is an unforgettable experience. Loved it. 4.5 stars....See MoreJasdip
