Thanks for the reminder! I’ll have to post pictures here of what I’m entering - and maybe get off my butt and have them PRINTED, and start my ‘Hudson Bay Baby Blanket’ that I also want to enter!
September comes way too soon for me some years. ;)
Ask the internet to confirm, but I think that 5 min on a trampoline re-bounder watching the morning news would give you the equivalent of 30 min of running with less damage to joints and keeps the blood, lymph, and digestive systems moving! (NASA determined this I think?)
I’ve suffered from severe allergies my entire life. Tried every solution the western allopathic medical system has to offer with little relief and no long-term improvement.
Then I learned about S.A.A.T. - Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment. I had the first treatment in May of 2024. 15 months later I no longer need antihistamine drugs to make it through the day. The Alpha-Gal reaction is gone - completely - I can eat as much mammal protein as I want without getting sick. The hay fever is gone - no more constant sneezing/snotty nose/clogged sinuses/ear infections/watery eyes.
Highly recommended.
dragonflies are the mature flying insect.
They are a larva form of a helgrimite.
I believe they also called Dobsinfly.

“Dobsonfly Subfamily of insects
Dobsonflies are a subfamily of insects, Corydalinae, part of the Megalopteran family Corydalidae.
The larvae are aquatic, living in streams, and the adults are often found along streams as well.
The nine genera of dobsonflies are distributed in the Americas, Asia, and South Africa.” Wikipedia.
helgrimites make excellent bait for bass.

I’m glad you’ve found relief!! My first really bad allergy attack had me coughing so much that I broke a rib. The culprit was cottonwood trees in my backyard that were in full bloom. The allergy shots saved me.
When I had those allergy tests, the list of things I was allergic to was stunningly long. I never knew why I was sick at Christmas every year as a kid. It was the mold on the Christmas tree. Ragweed was huge in the late summer.
Eventually I moved to the Midwest where I lived in a zone full of things to become sensitive to. That’s why the shots took so long to complete. I will say, they have been very effective. Rarely do I need OTC antihistamines, but when I do, they work for me.
I’ve never heard of SAAT and will look into that. Thank you!
Now THAT would be framable! Too cute!
Well, the rebound trampoline worked for Evelyn in Fried Green Tomatoes!
I walk once or twice a day for a mile or so. A trampoline would be a hazard to me at this point! I fell off my bike 2x last year. Feet on the ground for me, thanks! ;)
I’ll be checking that out as well.
Thanks.
WOW! What a little goldmine this website is!

P.S. I’m on my Mandatory Union Lunch Break! I just have the garden area to mow, yet.
Beau is all loaded up and ready to head home, hauling his broken truck behind him; should be here by 6pm-ish.
Zucchini Boats for Supper, a side of Green Beans and Texas Toast.
Interesting.
I’m thrilled we have them though. They’re so fascinating to watch.
Thats a nice looking resource I book marked it. First thing listed zucchini fritters. I took out the last package of frozen shredded zucchini to make some today. My first 3 zukes are not bog enough in the garden yet.
I have two yellow zukes on the counter and I’m going out to check the first green one that looked like it should be pick-able, today.
The Zukes I got for free yesterday are ‘stuffed’ and ready to go into the oven for supper, later. :)
Heat index has come down to 96° at 5:30. I’ve been out all afternoon working on siting the metal raised beds & finally couldn’t take it any more, came in at 4:30 to put dinner together. I’ll probably go back out after dinner. The ‘shipwreck casserole’ should be ready around 7:30. Meanwhile, I’m about half way through my 2nd quart of LMNT electrolytes.
Before I got too grubby this morning, I had to buy some weed barrier/landscape fabric. Previously, I got a roll at Walmart, but they were out. Since Tractor Supply is on the same side of the highway, I checked there. They had a 4x100 & a 4x200 foot roll - both were $49.95. The 100 ft. roll was ‘professional’ grade, 30 years while the 200 ft. roll was 25 years. It didn’t much matter because I had no intention of spending $50 on landscape fabric!
I crossed the road to the Farm Bureau. They had a 4x100 ft. roll, standard, 15 years, on sale for $24.95 (reduced from $34.95). My lucky day!
I have 1 bundle of shingles left & that should be enough for this project. If I can get the landscape fabric & shingles down tonight, I can finish up the landscape timbers tomorrow. Then it’s DIRT time - woo hoo!
None of the convenient stores in the nearest towns have decent air, even the one that charges $2.00. No faster than one of those things you plug into your lighter socket to fill a tire.
Juglone from walnut trees has significant insect repellent and in some cases toxic properties, but, it’s also hard on many garden plants. :-(
