Hello Marge and all,
Bobbie here in Mass.
I had to laugh when I read about the defoliating locusts as a way of killing
them off. Why? Because it brought back a memory of this older Finish
friend, who recently passed away, and his telling me that defoliating was a
great way to get rid of poison ivy!!!
Yeah, right!!!
But he was serious.
