NEWS FLASH!


A recent tip came into this office by an unidentified source that Seymour, the black snake, from Sunnybank Farm, has been spotted spying out the territory.

He was seen close to the farm house by Snuggles, the gray and white cat guardian of the place, with his head in the air, checking out things.

Rumor has it that Seymour is a trouble maker. He regards not any of his fellow denizens of the area. He's been known to:
  • sneer at advice from wise-fellow Fenis (the red-tailed hawk),
  • steal from the farm hens, and
  • smack his lips at the little ones (as if to terrorize them).
As given to us, here is a likely description of this possible crime-doer:
  • long
  • fairly thin
  • black (but could have other shades)
  • beady eyes
  • fangs
If anyone has any knowledge of him, please call WRT A BOOK as soon as possible.


Truth or fiction?

Who's to say? But some in the know believe that he is getting ready for something BIG.

Stay tuned for more information. You can be sure we'll report it as soon as it's available.



Here's a quick hint for make-your-own Air Fresheners:
  • Cinnamon and Cloves: Boil these spices for a fragrant smell. For ease of cleaning, make a cheesecloth bag to contain these spices, and boil the cheesecloth bag. An excellent alternative when entertaining is to steep spiced tea or cider.
  • Potpourri: Buy or make your own potpourri from your favourite herbs and spices. Place the potpourri in a small basket or jar or in small sachet bags.
  • Vinegar: Distribute partially filled saucers of vinegar around the room or boil 1 tablespoon of white vinegar in 1 cup of water to eliminate unpleasant cooking odours.
  • Essential oils: are ideal for creating effective, all-natural fresheners for the entire house. The air freshening qualities of lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree cleanse and freshen homes that are shut tight during colder winter months. Simply place one ounce of water in an atomizer and add 12 drops of your favourite aroma. Shake well and spray into the room to mask unpleasant odours and introduce pleasant, enjoyable and healthy aromas. Make small batches frequently to ensure freshness.
