Woodwind LakesThe bright rich color highlights the MANY health benefits it
contains. Let’s go through a few:* Chronic inflammation is one of the leading drivers of
many serious diseases. This fruit has potent anti-inflammatory properties.
* One 12-week study in people with diabetes found that 1.1 cups of (sugar free) pomegranate juice per day lowered the inflammatory markers (CRP). The American Society of Nephrology found the potassium content in pomegranate juice reduces many dialysis related complications for kidney patients, otherwise showing a reduced mortality rate.
* Pomegranate may also be useful against breast and prostate cancer.
* Pomegranate may help fight arthritis and joint pain.* May lower risk of heart disease.I truly believe nutritious fiber dense foods can help us get off
some medications. I have found that to be true from my personal experiences. Positive results were seen when I turned to a mainly plant based diet. Always do your research and take your questions to your medical advisor.

It is a VERY special time of year….May we have Peace On Earth
‘Tis The Season For This Beautiful and Festive Looking Fruit...“The greatest gift cannot be purchased in a store or ordered from a
catalog…it can’t be wrapped in a pretty package with a fancy bow…but it can be heard in the words of kindness and felt in an embrace.”
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy holiday season.

Well, not yours hopefully, but in mine. Let me explain. I have been your faithful "Free Little Library" steward for around five years. Today, I was greeted by the library shelves and books loaded with dirt and sand. A can of this material sat on the nearby grill shelf a few feet from the library located near the adult pool.
What is the thinking behind this? Books and dirt do not get along.
A good amount of time and energy goes into this project. It was begun by my grandson when he was in high school. Today, we continue the project in his name while he attends college. Books for young readers and older readers are replaced with fresh items bi-monthly and the older books are given to charities. There they are distributed to clients or sold to give revenue to the charity. Most are given to the Mission of Yahweh. Nothing is wasted.
In the past, "here’s mud in your eye" was a favorite toast given to friends before cocktails. For me, it is a sad statement. Please neighbors, do not let this happen again.
Thank you,Frances K. Smith
Drain flies are small brownish-grey insects with two wings. They have fuzzy wings and bodies and when at rest, the wings are folded over the body making them look like tiny moths. This is why they are sometimes called moth flies.
Drain flies may be seen in kitchens and bathrooms near sinks or tubs. They tend to be more active in the evening. Female flies lay eggs in the thin film of organic matter that builds up on the inside of drain pipes. Larvae develop in the slime layer, feeding on fungi and other microorganisms.
Unfortunately, targeting adult drain flies will only temporarily solve the problem. To manage drain flies, the source should be located and treated to reduce the population of developing flies. To track down where the flies are coming from, place tape over one side (don’t cover the drain completely) of drains in sinks and tubs before you go to bed. In the morning, check tape for flies that emerged during the night to find out which drain(s) are infested.
Once the drain is located, take a stiff brush and scrub the inside of the drain, following up by flushing the drain with boiling water. There is no need to treat the drain with bleach or ammonia. It may take several days to see a reduction of the adult flies once the drain has been cleaned. You have to allow the emerging adults to die. If you have drains that you cannot access to clean, there are bio-gels that consume the organic matter where the larvae develop. Read and follow all label instructions.
