Phyllis Looby replied to Jan Page's discussion IDEA'S ON DEALING WITH FRUIT FLYS IN THE KITCHEN... in the group They Canned...So Can You and I"I use apple cider vinegar with a bit of dish soap (it breaks the surface tension of the vinegar) This I am told helps to drown the dastardly lil fruit flies since they can't escape.

- Vegetable garden stuff almost done. Brought in my only zucchini and potted green bell peppers and put them in sun room. Planted one young lilac and have another to plant and have 15 less out of bag of 50 King Alfred Daffs to plant. Do miss the bigger house but not the driveway and Spring flood. Miss the wood fireplace. Wish I had a woodstove here where I live.

Sorry I missed you when I was back there. My friend ended up doing double shift so no lunch at Coutt's I got home August 28th. Furry,finned, feathered is what I had in van.This could be my 15 year dogs last trip, never know, all my pets seem to live past time of passing. I did stop in at Foodsmith's and got my Balderson Maple Syrup. Something I wanted to get the next time back there. Tastes much better than what is here in Medicine Hat, AB.Bye for now.

I had only lived just outside Perth on Hwy 7 from 2002 to 2005. Ran the B&B in that area, Rivendell till it fell through. I regret selling and moving back not all the way to the Westcoast where other half of family and friends are. I am waiting on the weather and forest fires in Ontario. Was going to leave this Sunday early from Medicine Hat, AB. but a delay. If you know the Holdsworth's in Perth they are good friends of my, have older friend in Maber
So once I see who I need to see Ottawa and Gatineau, then head to Perth and homeward once had my visit. Coot's for special coffee we could meet there, where Big Ben jumping statue is near. Van of pets and me and maybe my tent trailer. Waiting for your weather to get back to normal and forest fires taken care of.
My veggies were slow but I see peas coming and maybe beans. Been eating broccoli. All others have flowers.
