It’s ever amazing – to this one, at least – how quickly and how strong the bonds become within my small circle of WordPress friends. The support offered and received is such a grace in my life. With this in mind, I would ask you to keep in your thoughts (and visit the blogs of)  two such wonderful people. Both are releasing – as I type – their novels!!!   Please visit their blogs and support them…

http://whenibecameanauthor.wordpress.com/ …Briana Vedsted is releasing her new book, A Girl Named Cord.

http://legendsofwindemere.com/ …Charles Yallowitz is releasing another in his Windemere series,
Legends of Windemere: Prodigy of Rainbow Tower

I’m sending hopeful and positive thoughts in their direction. I am acknowledging their dedication and hard work. My very best wishes to both of you dear, dear friends.

I mean, seriously

Who invented fruit flies? What are they good for except invading our kitchens and eating our fruit? Would they fill up the belly of a bird? No. And I refuse to let a bird into my kitchen to test the theory. How many tiny fruit fly bodies do I have to pick out of my wine? I get enough protein, thanks.

Every year it’s the same thing. You go into the grocery store and see them swarming around the onions and you think to yourself, the strawberries are far enough away from the onions that they shouldn’t have got into them, right?

Ha!

And so every year my kitchen is either on the wing, or littered with fruit fly traps. The home made ones are the best. A jar with a small piece of banana peel inside and cling wrap over top with a tiny hole. They can get in, but they can’t find their way out.

They are still and always will be a bloody nuisance though!
