RAVINGS

By Mike Hickey

“THE HUNTER” The Jet and I have been hanging out together for nearly three years now. For most of this time we have been very, very regular in our walks through the woods. Also, during this period, The Jet has been a regular visitor to the office, so I have had an opportunity to observe him in very different circumstances.

When hunting in the woods, The Jet, relies almost entirely on his nose, keeping his head to the ground and seldom looking around (just like the missus). This is one reason why he missed seeing a bunny rabbit tearing down the woods road the other day, although he did pick up the scent as we arrived at that spot on the road. His success in hunting partridge is terrible.

In almost every case, he saunters along with nose to the ground until without warning the bird takes flight, often without him even noticing.

The one animal that The Jet regularly pursues are the squirrels!!

The problem, is his pursuit looks more like a 649 Happy Dance and the whole event appears more like a “Hey!! Come back here and play with me!!”

In conclusion, if The Jet and I are ever stuck out in the woods for a week or two, our only hope of survival will be my hunting skills and not his.

Out side of the woods, however, The Jet is absolutely awesome as a “Domestic Hunter”. He has staff at the office virtually lining up to give him treats. A visit to Grammy usually scores a doggy treat and an apple. The reason for his success in domestic hunting, versus his woods hunting is that he uses his eyes instead of his nose!! Sitting quietly, while staring at victims with big brown eyes is a sure fire way to score treats from all but the most heartless human, such as myself.

So we have made a deal, when in the woods I will do the hunting for both of us, but if we are ever penniless on the streets of Hampton, he will take over all of the hunting duties. I am expecting that with our combined skills, that neither of us will miss too many meals!! 800

After the life giving rains that we were blessed with in late April the gardens are off to a rollicking start and the plant outlets are bursting with an amazing variety of perennial plants. All very exciting and enticing but, be warned! Most of these will have been raised in an unheated but protective, covered environment.

This means care has to be taken to harden them off, an extra cool night or blustery wind could easily destroy them; the best method is to expose them to the elements on days that are fairly cloudy, still and mild, increasing the time spent outside a little each day until they become sturdy. Care needs to be taken to insure that they don’t dry out or become waterlogged by too much juice!

Avoid purchasing annuals no matter how attractive the price, there will be a possibility of frost until after the full moon on June 4th. Keeping them healthy for a prolonged period can be time consuming, it’s better to wait a couple of weeks and concentrate on the many gardening jobs that need attention.

Chief among these is the spring pruning, by now the rose bushes have leafed out and pruning out the dead wood while the leaves are small is easy to do without damaging the bushes.

All dead wood should be trimmed back to the first really healthy leaf buds, making sure that the pruners are sharp; a ragged cut is an invitation to the pests that cause disease. The Forsythia has finished its spectacular display and a pruning with an eye on the overall shape that you would like to see is in order. One great virtue of them is, that a new plant can be produced simply by taking a low growing branch and burying it into the ground with a small rock on top to anchor it, by the end of summer it will have rooted and can be planted in a new location.

Deer are again on the rampage and favorite among the early diners are the day lilies. Any smelly concoction will help to ward them off, 1 to 9 parts ammonia with water and a little added oil and soap; a mixture of beaten egg with powdered milk, oil and soap; granulated garlic with egg, soap and oil. These can be concocted fairly cheaply, best sprayed on a still, dry day at a time when you can bung your clothes into a washing machine and head for the shower. The commercially manufactured ‘Bobbex’ seems to have been quite successful.

Good Luck and happy gardening. 805

GIVE THE GIFT OF GREEN FOR MOTHER'S DAY

MOTHER’S DAY

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers.

But for children who want to offer her something a little more special -- especially for their eco-conscious moms -- there are a number of different gift options to make Mom's big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable.

An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these "green" gifts.

Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother's tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners.

Purchase eco-friendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vacuum for Mother's Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and outdoor entertaining.

Select organic fruits and flowers.

Companies like www.organicbouquet.com can assemble a bouquet made from responsibly grown flowers or even a wreath for a wall or door. They also have food gifts, from organic fruits to nuts.

tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure.

Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn't enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find.

Spend the day outdoors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, eco-friendly gift is to spend time together.

Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Or even head to the seaside for a relaxing day. Explore the landscape and be on the lookout for birds and washed up treasure from the sea. Plan to finish the day with a homemade, picnic lunch.

Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel.

Pay for a car tune-up. Improving the gas mileage on Mom's car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly. According to the United States Department of Energy, keeping a car in shape can help save money and improve fuel economy. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom's gas mileage by as much as 40 percent.

Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four

PENPAL? Does this concept still exist in today’s hurry-up world of instant communications? For those who may not be familiar, “Pen pals (or penpals or pen friends) are people who regularly write to each other, particularly via postal mail. A penpal relationship is often used to practice reading and writing in a foreign language, to improve literacy, to learn more about other countries and lifestyles, and to make friendships.” - Wikipedia.

“U3A stands for University of the Third Age. There are U3As all over the world.

U3A is a learning cooperative of older people, which encourages healthy ageing by enabling members to share many educational, creative and leisure activities.

What is the Third Age? The Third Age refers to the period of time after the First Age of childhood and the Second Age of employment and parental responsibility, often called “the age of active retirement”. A U3A is a university in the original sense of the word: a community of people devoted to learning and its members are in the Third Age. (http://www.u3anetvic.org.au/About. htm)” What a concept!
