Willa’s Poppy – Book Review

by

write 2 right

Willas Poppy is a 166-page young adult, thriller-adventure with a hero-element in a subtle theme of rising above challenges and making a difference in the world. Animal lovers, rescue shelter workers and all readers from 8-18 will adore Poppys adventures. Because the author also gives insight into an adults life through their feelings and experiences with their careers, this book may serve as a tool to bring understanding and awareness in families.

Willas Poppy is about the exciting adventures of a girl and her puppy as they grow to maturity. Willa, a young teenager, struggled in school. Her desires for a bloodhound dog enabled her to earn the pet through better grades. Always a bit of a loner with only one true friend, Willa easily took to training and befriending the rescued puppy. Bonding with her beloved Poppy brings Willa out of her shell where she blooms into a bright flower. The family has subtle difficulties, but the entire family comes together when Poppy locates a missing child and rescues both Willa and her baby brother, from a dangerous criminal.

Author of 5 other books, WWII veteran, farmer and garlic specialist Chester Aaron creates a wonderful, heart-warming story in which the hero is Willas dog Poppy. The only noticeable negative point is the poor quality of the front cover design. Otherwise, I heartily recommend this book.

Willa’s Poppy – Book Review}

byAlma Abell

Termites cause billions of dollars in damages to American home and business owners each year. Help make it harder for termites by hiring a professional Stump Remover to get rid of all old tree stumps.

About Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites get their name because they live in huge colonies underground. They even make mud tunnels with a combination of dirt and termite spit so they do not have to work in the full glare of the sun. Subterranean termites go through all this effort because they have soft bodies that soon dry up when exposed to direct sunlight. Because they remain hidden underground and in mud trails, it is difficult to see any termites until extensive damage has been done.

How Termites Get Food

Termites eat anything that contains cellulose, such as in wood, paper, plywood and many building materials. Rotting wood leaches chemicals in the soil that act like red blinking neon signs for hungry termites. The colony sends out scouts to find these chemicals and check out the food supply. Even after a source of food is discovered, such as a tree stump, scouts are constantly on the move to find more food for a ravenous colony. They wander many yards to discover any other rich sources of cellulose like fencing, outbuildings or houses.

Do Not Leave Out For Termites

Leaving old tree stumps in the ground and not expecting termites to arrive is like setting out a big plate of dog food every night and not expecting to find dogs on the property soon afterwards. Sooner or later a termite scout will scent the rotting wood and bring the colony to feast. Getting rid of tree stumps entirely leaves the termites with nothing to eat and no reason to hang around a particular piece of property.

In Summary

Subteranean termite scouts travel up to 300 feet from their colonies searching for food. Since termites are blind, they search by smell. Rotting wood from tree stumps sends out particular smells attractive to termite scouts. Hire a Stump Remover service such as Jose Martinez Tree Service Inc. as soon as possible to prevent pests like termites from making a meal of the yard and home. You can also connect them on Facebook.
