lately all of our yards here in town have dragonflies swarming all over the place. Does anyone know why? Is it because of the very wet summer we have had here in middle of Iowa. With all the rain/

knewfy well that's cool...because there are very few mosquitos here anyhow. There is a local bat population that lives in the old schoolhouse and I think they pretty well take care of the mosquitoes also. So not there really will be no mosquitos, that is nice to...

has anyone else ever tried cottage cheese and chopped fresh avocado and chopped tomatoes? With salt and pepper seasoning. It is totally AWESOME! and makes a whole meal unto itself.

knewfy you're going to LOVE it. It has become one of my favorite sumnertime meals. Now of course I do eat it in the winter also BUT the tomatoes aren't fresh. That does make a huge difference, fresh tomatoes right out of the garden. And think how good it is for you!

knewfy whether or not dogs mate has nothing to do with whether or not they are littermates..the "mating" is often a sign of dominance, that is how one dog will demonstrate that he/she is the "leader of the pack" , usually they do not actually "mate" unless the female...
