We used dunks in the dry well at Fairview; I just saw a video about building mosquito traps using them in buckets with some grass/leaves and water. I’ll try to find it and send it to you!

So sorry about the Lyme—up here in coastal Maine it’s huge. My mom has set me up with insectshield brand socks, tee, and pants for gardening. I try to be good about garbing up every time but geez. Hope you respond quickly to the meds.

So sorry about your tick bite! I guess its the season but it still sucks. Thank you for the pb Twix shoutout—going to keep an eye out for them! We have an old carpetsweeper and still use it all the time (darn cats). Take care!

Sorry-2 Christmases ago my sisters laughed at me because all I wanted for Christmas from my husband was this carpet sweeper. So handy when you have 3 cats!

I have one of those acorns with knitting stitch markers in it! I hope you feel better quickly and have no lingering bad effects.

I remember the carpet sweeper my mother used to use. How wonderful of you to bring back that memory for me! I fell in love with the acorn and must buy one. Congratulations on bringing your dream to life. Your newsletter is always an inspiration for me. Thank you.
