JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

I ran across this trivia site that provides info on a wide array of subjects. One of the bonuses of the info is that it is presented in a brief and concise manner while remaining amusing and interesting.

Given the recent sextuplet "hoax" on many caring and sympathetic individuals, it’s always great to run across information on positive solutions to some of the numerous challenges that we as people face in life. I heard about this site while watching the TV program “The View”.

A few days back the sun shined brightly as the first Spring butterflies fluttered around our yard. Just a brief reminder to hubby that this is the time to check the folliage on his flowers for signs that any infestations. He has some wonderful blooms that he doesn’t want to be this year’s munchies. At the same time, we enjoy watching the graceful flutterings of the butterflies so we don’t want to use insecticides. The solution we came up with was to remove any infected leaves and place them in potted containers of less valuable plants in another area. This way we save the desired flowering plants; the caterpillars will have a source of munchies to devour; and with any luck we will have a colorful and relaxing yard full of butterflies in a little while.
