All but one of the smoke alarms in the house are electrical with 9 volt battery backup thus no need to replace the batteries every year. The one that was in the ceiling of the downstairs was not wired and did not get ruined when we had the flood. The new drop down ceiling made it hard to put back up on the ceiling so we put that one on the wall above a door.

This morning I started some seeds in pots in the garage; two types of Forget Me Not’s, more butterfly weed, and some zucchini. The first round of butterfly weed did not germinate.
