The renovations have started. Here is the sunroom with the moat and a regular occupant.
The red bordered photo displays poison ivy.....a rather frequent volunteer plant at Chez Purling Oaks. The moat received its name on the day we inspected the house with our inspector in the month of February about 3 or so years ago. Little did we know it would really become a moat this year with water streaming down the glass and squishing back into the house. However, as of today, the moat is no more!
Looking for a toothbrush?
This morning I went to Curves. It was good. I also worked and then went to visit the dentist for my six-month cleaning and check-up. I had a great check-up! About five months ago I purchased an Oral-B Triumph electric/cordless toothbrush and I've been using it consistently. My dental hygienist said my teeth looked like they had been whitened. Plus, my gums were super healthy. They were healthy before but now they are super healthy. So, if you are on the fence about one of these fancy toothbrushes, you can leap down now and run over to the market and feel good about your purchase. I am not receiving any compensation for this plug. It is just a good thing and I think it shouldn't be a secret.
Great to see the renovations starting. I have been using one of those tooth brushes for a while now and I love it. One of my Dr's suggested I try it because radiation can destroy the gums and my gums are in great shape despite the treatment.
I can touch poison ivy without getting a rash as can my younger son. My elder son is another story.

Ahhh the sunroom lookies so much better now that the renovations have begun. Bye bye poison ivy! Hooray for you joining curves again. You are going to love it. Those little electric toothbrushes are awesome. I've been using a Sonic one for several years now and they do make a world of difference.

I've never seen poison ivy. We have stinging nettle and devil's club. The reno looks so huge! Too bad you don't have a really big toothbrush to clean up there. I'm crazy about my Sonicare toothbrush, though it was a bad choice for an Xmas present. My dentist says my teeth look "young".

I just bought an electric toothbrush after my dentist told me to. It would probably work better if I took it out of the box.
