To see if your plant cuttings are growing..

If you have cut flowers...

My wife uses them to clean the dirt off potatoes, radishes, etc. They only cost a dollar at the local dollar store and seem to last forever.

Just a thought.

news and will stay there until the election is over. I came across an article titled:

A Simple Fix for Social Security

and it is located at:

It is worth your time to read it.


Until next issue,
