A few nights ago, my left foot began strongly itching at 3 a.m. It itched so bad that I couldn’t get back to sleep. I had to have lotion applied to it in order to stop the itching. Since it’s difficult for me to reach my feet in order to apply lotion to them, I had to wake up my husband. He got up, applied lotion to both my feet and lower legs and then we both went back to sleep. Later that day, I was thinking about how my husband woke up at 3 a.m., got up and put lotion on my feet without a complaint. All he said was, “I hope that helps...
These chilly mornings when my hubby brings me coffee in bed has made me think of days when “Bed Jackets” were common. I remember seeing some of these bed jackets in my mother’s and grandmother’s things. I never knew how they came about, but the bed jackets that I remember were fancy. I am sure that the wealthy may have had jackets made of silk, however the ones that intrigued me the most were hand crocheted. (Was there any other kind of crocheted items available in that era?) Stories of early days do not help me picture women lounging in bed,...
Anyone can get bed bugs - it is not a matter of cleanliness but more of transportation. They only need a place to hide and a human host to feed on. Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are wingless, oval, reddish-brown insects about ¼ inch long that feed primarily on the blood of humans. They are most often found around, or near the bed but when populations are large they may move to other rooms. They can live up to a year with females laying nearly 400 eggs during that time. The bite of bedbugs can leave a swollen, red, irritated welt usually in clust...
Last year’s drought and fire didn’t just set back crop yields, damage land and test communities. The extreme weather may also boost exactly the noxious invaders we don’t want — weeds. Weeds are tough enemies, typically more adaptable to change than their native counterparts. Both droughts AND floods, for example can help spread them. And in Montana, dry conditions have helped them take root. “So it looks like a promising future for invasive plants, when you think about things going on globally,” Jane Mangold, a professor of Land Management...
