I'm happy that she found a kind person to help her out! I hope that if I ever need help I'll have a kind person help me out! Another k...

It seldom topped 80 degrees. I’d grown up in southern Indiana where the summer nights were sweltering, and we didn’t have a...

If horses eat several that were in hay before harvesting, they may receive a toxic dose. Other livestock seem to have a tolerance. They feed on flowers including alfalfa blossoms. An insecticide...
