sprinkled all around

Yes, the white stuff is on the ground but 

And a drop in degrees as well

On the buds, last night, an interview w/ the Pres of Soybean Growers ( U.S. ). He represents an export value of 4 B $. The announced Chinese tariff on soybeans estimated by an university economic group, to have an effect of dropping exports by 40 % and losses in dollars close to 70 %.
China imports almost a 1/3 of its soybean demand.
CORRECTION ?

On CBC online, the value quoted by the U.S. Soya Bean Growers
is  14 BILLION $
Why the discrepancy ? Cuz, I was 1/2 awake in the night
or maybe the guy represented the Western soybean growers b/c he was in Iowa

And full sun for the afternoon


Mouse Tales
Well, the pest guys come back to-morrow. They will take away the one-way door cage and re-attach the screen.
We have not heard a sound from the attic since they've been.
We have not caught a mouse in 2 weeks.
However, next door. The appraisers and adjusters were in again, to-day. The house has been vacant for 5 months. the water is off and the agents were using our washroom.
While waiting their turn, one told Margaret that the house is infested w/ mice. As in the mouseys are everywhere. 
Their opinion is that the house cannot be sold until fully de-moused.
