Bits and Bobs

This is where I will be documenting the strange goings-on in my world:

A new use for flypaper tape: wrap it around the base of a tree that the ants are invading and it will stop them in their tracks. No Go. Nada.
I can’t believe I’m actually admitting this…but I’m so attached to my praying mantises that I actually will bring them live grasshoppers from other parts of my gardens, and once I actually watched one getting eaten. EYYUUU!
Every morning I check the size of my watermelon.
I must pluck the hair out of my dog’s ears (yes…he’s a poodle and the hair grows and grows)
I actually like the gravity heaters in my floorboards, but they got so hot one time that the front plastic plate of my air conditioning unit just melted right off.
The fire department showed up the first time we tried to have a barbeque in the backyard.
I’m REALLY good at parallel parking and usually get it the first time.
I cook for my dog every day. Next: homemade kibble.
I’m growing vines on my house to keep it insulated.
I sometimes don’t go to bed until it’s light outside.
I love the smell of mint but I don’t like to eat it because it makes me really hungry afterwards. I won’t even use mint toothpaste. And don’t get me started on almond paste.
I used to be allergic to cats but grew out of it in my 30s. Around the same time I realized I was allergic to carpeting.
