Somewhere we've read that drilling holes into stumps and filling the holes with epsom salt will help them naturally deteriorate faster. I have three stumps in the yard and several small ones in a wooded area that we're slowly clearing (trying to get to where we can redo the fence on the property line and reclaim part of the woods near a bbq pit Bobby's dad had built years ago). So before all the rain come this past Monday morning we went to work. I should have used a larger drill bit, but since we were fighting the clouds it was a "get this down NOW" event. I didn't take pictures, though I'm hoping within a month we'll be very pleased with the results. Time will tell!
Saturday we had a baby shower for Bobby's niece. As I was making the mints, Bobby asked what else was on the menu. After I recited off the litany of items, he responded with "No peanut butter?! This shower is for Hannah! What's she going to eat?" (Hannah has had stomach problems over the years and has been unable to tolerate many foods, but peanut butter has been her staple.) Despite my assurances that she would enjoy the foods we were having, he was adamant that I needed to make peanut butter & jelly sandwiches for the shower. Even though I protested that NOBODY took that to a shower, he persisted, and informed me I could make them dainty with my little cutter. And so I did. To my surprise all but 3 were eaten. Who'd a thunk it?
