Question of the Day
What should I do in the fall to care for my strawberry plants?
Answer


Puzzle of the Day

Formed long ago, yet made today; And most employed when others sleep; What few would like to give away; And fewer still to keep. (What is being described?)

Answer


The beech is dipped in wine; the shower
Is burnished; on the swinging flower    
The latest bee doth sit.
The low sun stares through dust of gold.
And o'er the darkened heath and wold
The large ghost-moth doth flit.
In every orchard Autumn stands,
With apples in his golden hands.

–Alexander Smith, Scottish poet (1829–67)
