Does it need to be scented with mammal smells? Any suggestions? I'm just

curious, and would like to do this before and after rain, etc. to see what's

going on here, as far as risk to mowing husband.

Hi Jodie,We're home now, beset with the mundane tasks of reality (house, yard) and heat (which is still better than it would be in the South where we travelled-can't imagine what it's like there now). I really want to de-clutter my environment and lighten up my home and my body. Have lost 10 lbs, so that's a start, but need to lose a ton of books and stuff that no longer serve, and eBay is no longer a promising place to sell much, so it's either going to be labor-intensive, weather-dependent yard-sales, or an incredible donation to our local ASPCA thrift shop.Doing well! Sleeping with fewer interruptions which means better quality sleep and dreams. Got very tired on the trip, sucking the marrow out of Life. (It's easy to go into override and not recognize deepening fatigue) Having a few little joint issues, like a knee that's never been problematic before, so that and the heat has slowed me down, but I'm generally feeling so much closer to normal than I have in over a decade, that I can't complain. I'm looking forward to cooler weather and the surge of energy that will follow.How are you doing these days? I'm hoping you haven't been on here much because you've been re-entering life and not because you've be poorly. I welcome newbies and feel i must share, as others have shared with me, but i do miss the veterans of the fight. Nice to hear from you.Be well,Léna
