what's lurking in your yard?

THE ENEMY- Japenese Beatle
























They invite more beatles by releasing a chemical.















you need to look for
sprays with carbaryl, acephate,
and permellrin on the label.















Some use insectide soaps, didn't work for me.
Neem - based pesticide.






























The bag isn't working.

















I use sevin every spring.



















I have used this last year, so so..









Use grub killer in Spring

Have you had these nasty things in your garden??
If so how do you
get rid of them??

Pleading with the Grocery Monopoly
























I just want dark chocolate--- what's the big deal??
















































Just a few years ago a bag was about $10 now it's $25
no matter what the price of gas and transport.
Their prices went up because of Gas??
I don't ever see them coming down when gas does.
























I am on a walker and cane now.
Hate to go into the store if I am having a long day.




















Am I alone on this? I want to run in and get out
fast. It is so frustrating having to look for an employee
to find where they put a product.







I am so tired of begging
and asking for products.



There should be a law on a monopoly
in small towns.

my dream vacation




















Can you believe I was so close
and never went there. My first time to Italy
I took a train from Paris
to Genova. I had a friend who was the Captain
of a famous yacht, I can't say the name,
but it was huge. He was going to take me around
the coast line to Cannes, etc. Well, He had to leave,
and said he would get off the job in 4 days.
I left for Rome. I was upset, to say the least..















































































*************************************************


Then there is ; a new place I have never been aware of.
Rovinj - Croatia




















I think I would go here Too.


























Arts and culture
Every July the so called 'Artists Colony of Rovinj'
and exchanges of exhibits with other museums
and galleries are organised in the exhibition hall
of the Rovinj town museum. This summer there
will be a new exhibition every fifteen days.
Another feast for the eyes and soul is 'Grisia',
the traditional open air art festival which is
held every August in the street of the same name
