--  Quote of the Day --  © BrummetMedia.ca "I will have me a symphony of coloring.  I will enmesh me in the noon sun's gold  and wind about me the moonlight's silver sheen.  I will dream in a gown made of the haze of a summer evening twilight,  and I will have robe on robe of the sky's deep blue,  and I will line them with clouds of ermine,  and from their trailing folds red stars will gleam.  I will pluck the green from the treetops,  where wild birds nest and sing,  and in the weaving  I will ensnare a song.  And when Sorrow is my guest,  I will wear a gown made of the cold, gray mist."  ~ Muriel Strode ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~

Football, Frisbee, it doesn’t matter what you do As long as your crappy day, stays there, behind you You ca...

You’ll likely find some on the outside of your house too, so be sure to walk around out there and along the deck, taking notes of where they are, and how many of each. Purchase caulking or foam and fill around any piping, cords and vents you noticed that breach the exterior walls.
