Blue hydrangeas
by Judi Teeter 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

Hi neighbors, Would you give me permission to sip a few stems of your blue hydrangeas? I won't take more than 4 or 5. I'm experimenting with different methods of drying them this summer, and all of mine are pink. If it's ok with you, please give me your address, and let me know if you'd like me to ring the bell to tell you I'm there. Thanks so much! Judi 757-618-4962 if you'd like to text

Handy Household Hint Re LED Bulbs
by richard＠vision-and-values.com 16 Jun '24

16 Jun '24

Whenever an LED bulb started to flicker, I assumed it was "going bad" and replaced it. Today I figured out that all you sometimes need to do in clean off the oxidation on the silvery contact at the bottom of the bulb with a little file or sandpaper. I think that contact resistance causes the voltage delivered to the bulb to drop so low that it can't function properly. (Be sure to unplug the light before you fool with the socket.)
