WHICH IS IT?

Clear moon frost soon.
When flowers that bloom in the

GARDENING HINTS

Don't be in such a hurry to clean up
your yard. Some butterflies shelter
under dead flowers, while some
beneficial insects and wild bees
hibernate or go dormant under layers
of leaf litter. Cavity nesting bees
make their homes in the dry canes of
raspberries and blackberries.

REGIONAL NOTES The
Stumphouse Tunnel was originally designed to route trains
through the mountains of South
Carolina to the Ohio River. After
a brief stint as a blue cheese
cave, this pre-Civil War 1700 foot
tunnel in Walhalla was opened
for visitors. Be prepared for bats.

There's no such thing as a free lunch.
The best things in life are free.
The early bird gets the worm.
Better late than never.

FACTOIDS

To clean neglected paint brushes, soak
them in hot vinegar.
American Airlines saved $40,000 in
1987 by eliminating one olive from
each salad served first class.

Frogs can suffocate if they hold their
mouths open too long.
