SIGNIFICA

Common daisies close their petals
as night or rain approach. Wide
open morning glory blooms predict
fair weather, closed predict foul.

Spoon or pipe in about a 1/2 tsp of
Nutella into each half and sprinkle
generously with chopped almonds.
Serve immediately.
Cook's Hint:
Strawberries don't continue to
ripen after being picked. Make
sure they are plump, bright red,
the leaves look fresh and there is
no mold.

Old Saws

Why isn't phonetic spelled the way
it sounds?
Talk is cheap. Until you hire a
lawyer.
Help stamp out, eliminate and
abolish redundancy!

Gardening Hints

Use your phone and find a good
weed identification Ap. Now is the
time to remove and control warm
season intruders.
Put a rain gauge in your garden. If
you aren't getting an inch a week,
then supplement with extra water.
Young trees like Japanese Maples,
look great in large pots and can
overwinter in a garage.

The Appalachian Mountains
first appeared on a map in
1562.
