There always seems to be a sentence in your missives that causese me to laugh out loud and then it keeps going fillinge with smiles. And this one was quite ripe with imagery.

We were taught that banana peels help keep aphids away from rose bushes so I have had no qualms about tucking banana peels semidiscreetly behind a bush. Co.e to thinl of it, I remember my husband shaking his head at me for chucking apple cores into the woods. I mean it's so much better for Creatures of the Wood to have a chance at unwanted fruit and veggie parts rather than letting them languish in a trash can.
