REFLECTIONS

I took some clover "weeds" from the yard and treated them as house plants. The're just too good to be weeds. After growing them in a pot outside I took them inside and placed them close to my other houseplants. Now it's on the bottom shelf of my plant stand, next to my desk.  Hopefully they will become accustomed to life inside

I stopped following the statistics for the number of visitors to my blog.  They'er no longer accurate. I'm sure I do not have so many visitors from Russia.

The other day as I was about to put the trash bags into the trunk of my car when I saw them.  I went back into the house for more trash bags to double bag the garbage.  I did not want those nasty looking things in my car. The maggots appear in warm weather if you don't dispose of the garbage sooner than usual.  I routinely go to the dump once a week but now while it's hot I'll have to go twice a week to avoid having it happen again. (photo from web) Flies lay eggs that become maggots.  Thankfully I almost never have flies in the house. It's the trash can that's a problem.  I have a metal trash can with a tight lid so I have no idea how flies can get in there.
