Word of the Day: Panacea Definition: A cure-all, supposed remedy. Used in a sentence: He considered the little pink pill a panacea for all ills.
Well I sure could of used some of those magic pills yesterday! 🙁 I had the worst headache ever and ended laying in bed most of the day. I’m feeling much better today though, so that’s good news. It’s suppose to rain all day today but I’m still going to try to get out there and get a little gardening done. Maybe even pull up all that ivy I planted. LOL… What would I do without you?
Have a great Friday everyone,
♥ Mavis

Mavis,
Great tips and info as usual but I’d warn you the the RFID blocking aluminum wallets tend to fall apart quickly. They don’t hold much, the locks break and fairly soon so does the hinge. I’ve used them in the past and I’m back to a regular leather wallet. My wife still carries hers in her purse but it’s held together with rubber bands.
Mavis Butterfield says
Thanks for letting me know. I guess we will see how it goes…

Mavis, I must say I am jealous of your bare shady hillside. I think you would be missing out by planting ivy (which most of your readers detest, including me) when you could create a beautiful woodland garden full of native shade plants.
Cecily says
Check out http://www.wnps.org for plants that would do well for your particular site.
Helen in Meridian says
On your word panacea, you need to cross out PINK pill and write in BLUE pill. All the men readers will agree.
Mavis Butterfield says
Ha Ha Ha!

If you decide to plant native’s on your hillside a great place to purchase them is at a Conservation District bare root sale (that is how I have added many native species to my property.) Pierce Conservation District http://www.piercecountycd.org/treesale.html you can order until January 23rd. Thurston Conservation District http://www.thurstoncd.com/store/ you can order until January 30th. I have had great success with the bareroot plants/shrubs. The prices are fantastic and your supporting a wonderful cause! We also have another great group here in Thurston County, Native Plant Salvage https://www.facebook.com/nativeplant.salvage
