I hear that the mosquitoes in Alaska are horrible though, so I guess cold doesn't kill them. <br />So glad that you got Jack back into his daycare! It will be easier for him since he's already familiar with it. <br />Boiling water would not kill these plants. Not the roots, at least. They'd just come right back.

I did buy a very small turkey, so that helps at least.<br /><br />I also called Jack's old daycare that's near us and they can take him starting next monday. I am so thankful.<br /><br />Enjoy the cool weather and your garden, even if the plants do laugh.

The other one I use occasionally is a floor lamp in my bedroom for when I can't sleep at night and get up to read. The third one is an antique and never gets used, mostly because it's not ever needed and the bulb burned out and I haven't replaced it.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-89792877761362234242022-10-11T03:55:59.691-04:002022-10-11T03:55:59.691-04:00Isn't it lovely to have found someone who resp...Isn't it lovely to have found someone who respects your home as much as you do??
