Flooding down on the farm

I knew we were in trouble when the termites stopped eating the wood in the old house and started to build boats.

Cruise liners these were if you compare their size to the construction.


I kept an eye on how things were progressing at the dock side - the front veranda.

It is a hive of activity and when the ants arrived, bringing all sorts of goods to the dock, I was sure that the termites were selling tickets for this cruise.


My suspicions were confirmed on Saturday morning as the flood levels rose and the termite ships started to float away in the flood waters.

Yes, there were ants onboard.


I don't think they appreciated my ticker tape send off, I generously threw a toilet roll at the departing armada.

The insects left on the docks were very agitated and things were looking nasty so I hastily retreated.


The floods have abated, but the termites are still building and the ants are arriving in greater numbers.

I don't know if this means another east coast low is on its way down here in June or July or if the termites are just cashing in on the gullibility of the ants.


Only time will tell.

Healthy Bones for Height Improvement
If you are thinking of growing a few more inches, you must keep in mind that the most important thing do so is to maintain healthy bones. Just because we can still function properly and we don’t feel any pain in our joint doesn’t mean our bones are healthy. Having a fracture doesn’t mean it is unhealthy as well. Here are some of the things that you can do to make sure that you have healthy bones.
First, have the right amount of calcium and vitamin D. we all know that bones need calcium to increase bone density. Vitamin D, in contrast, is essential for the absorption of calcium. Foods that are loaded with calcium include milk, cheese and yogurt. You can get vitamin D by being exposed to early morning sun. You can also get it by eating eggs and salmon. Likewise, Vitamin K helps stimulate bone growth. You can find this vitamin in avocado and in spinach. Visit here for more http://www.growth-flex.com/ .
For a bone to be healthy, it needs to undergo regular exercise. Regular exercise means following a routine daily. It would be best if you do your workout at the same time of the day, with increasing intensity. Take note that occasional exercise will not help. Physical activity strengthens bones in a way that cannot be done by just eating right.
Aside from a healthy diet and regular exercise, it is also important to have a regular dose of growth enhancers that will help boost your growth. Aging means your body produces less growth hormone that it did when your body was still young. Growth boosters such as Growth Flex V Pro System can help in this matter.
