The white "stuff" they paint on the bottom of the tree is an insecticide. It keeps ants and other destructive bugs from burrowing ?into the bark and causing damage to the tree. That is what my neighbor told me when I asked him about his trees. "??? via the Internet..............

Does anybody remember the donkey softball games????? The donkeys were provided for the games and the "locals" rode them.???? The donkeys were stubborn (what else is new?) and they ran when they wanted to, and didn't run when they didn't want to.???? Sometimes they came close to each other, nearly throwing off the riders.???? Those games were a hoot!!!
Does anybody know why our parents and grandparents "whitewashed" the trunks of the fruit trees????? Do they still do it???? Was it for bug prevention or what???????? I can still see in my mind the white trunks of trees in my childhood.???? Or did my family just do it????
The best thing to come along in Dalton within the last 10 years (or so)?is The Bliss Cafe on Main Street.???? It is?owned by Janice Douglas Grim and it is the most welcoming place in Dalton.???? I always get my lattes there when I am in Dalton.???? They have good sandwiches and soups, too.........????? And sometimes they have entertainment in the evenings.??? Have other classmates visited the Bliss Cafe????? It's the best!!!!!
