This I’ve Learned

I WAS THINKING
about the coyote who was trying to get through my rod iron fence. Luckily, he didn’t fit. It’s not unusual to be awaken in the middle of the night from the howling of coyotes, but they sound far away, but I guess not. Since, I don’t have any small animals, I’m not sure what it was after. ME???
My rod iron fence certainly doesn’t deter the rabbits and ground squirrels from making themselves at home. It’s obvious that they think my tomatoes and fruit are for them. I just wish they’d leave some for me.

WORDS OF WISDOM
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it.
The best way to get rid of a problem, is to solve it.
Most people are as happy as they make up their minds to be. (Abe Lincoln)

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Hospital regulations require a wheel chair for patients being discharged. However, a student nurse found one elderly gentleman already dressed and sitting on the bed with a suitcase at his feet, who insisted he didn’t need any help to leave the hospital. After a chat about rules being rules, he reluctantly let the nurse wheel him to the elevator. On the way down she asked him if his wife was meeting him. “I don’t know,” he said. “She’s still upstairs in the bathroom changing out of her hospital gown.”

ANTS? UNUSUAL WAYS TO DETER THEM
(Taken from Halley Hints)
Sprinkle sage or white pepper around affected areas, in crevices and cupboards.
Put salt on cucumber peelings and place near ants.
Draw a chalk line on floor or wall where ants march. It’s said that ants won’t cross a chalk line.
Squirt lemon juice on windowsills and bottom of doors. Ants hate it.
