I have never really thought about it, I can live with or without the royals. Being part of the Commonwealth is supposed to make for better trading. I bet Ann will know a lot more about it than I do.

I have been working really hard in the garden, always so much to do, watering, to make the weeds grow, then you have to pull them up. I cleaned the large fountain today, first time since I set it up this spring and the water was still clear, and the reason was because of a tip I read, add 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar for each gallon of water. It does not harm the birds, they still drink and bathe in it. We just make sure to keep it topped up as the water evaporates, birds drinking and splashing the water out. I put some in the bird baths also today after I flushed them out, I am hoping that will keep the algae from building up..
