Peach pie AND strawberry shortcake for dinner tonight. Talk about sugar overload!! >>>Twitter haven’t a clue how it works.<<< That makes two of us. Maybe some kind soul will give us a tutorial. I clicked on the URL and it looked interesting but the directions had me stumped.

>>> If you have peppermint<<< Many, many years ago,I had a fairly extensive herb garden, which among many other herbs contained spearmint and peppermint. The bed has been gone for many years with a lawn in its place, and when we built our new home loam was removed from this area and replaced when landscaping around our home. Now can you believe, we have peppermint and spearmint everywhere, although there had been no signs of it for many, many years. Such a delighful aroma when mowing the lawn!! I shall certainly try rubbing the peppermint on me as an insect repellant.

What fun, even if it is in the wrong place.

They say that if you plant peppermint around your doorways and windows, it will cut down on flies and ants.

Try blocking the ants paths with branches of peppermint.

I know they will not cross a line on the floor that is sprayed with half vinegar, water and a few drops of peppermint.

Next time you are hot and miserable, like from forking manure and hay all day, treat yourself to a nice peppermint bath, boil a pot of it for 10 to 15 minutes and then strain it into the bath..........your whole body will feel good and it is a healer, inside and out..

Yes, I approve of two deserts for dinner.

LOL, reminds me of my daughter in law, one of the few times she ever complained about Scott to me, something was said about dinner and she kinda exploded “I don’t know why Scott has to have 2 vegetables at dinner!!”

That was easy, I always served two, as there were some that I didn’t like....LOL... and some that I did and Bill liked the ones that I did not.
