Mint Julep Fruit Salsa
This bright, fresh, and flavorful fruit salsa is the perfect addition to your Kentucky derby party spread! I have to admit I’ve always kind of scoffed at the idea of fruit salsa, but this recipe definitely changed my mind! The addition of the bourbon and mint gives this such a great depth of flavor and I was literally just eating it with a spoon! Serve with some sweeter crackers or chips (cinnamon pita or tortilla chips are ideal) or eat all alone!

Our Experience with Fox Pest Control
As many of you all know, living and renovating historic homes comes with a unique set of challenges. One of ours has always been mice and pest control. Older homes often have lots of little nooks, crannies, and holes that are not easily identifiable and make perfect little entrances for pests of all kinds! Our home is on a very small basement/crawl space and also has an attic, which adds to these challenges. A few years after moving in, we started to notice mice droppings in several areas of our home. Since we free feed our dogs and often leave dog food out throughout the day, this was only adding to the attraction for the mice, but was also something we couldn’t really change or avoid. We have tried for years to get a grip on the mice issue, but even when we would catch a few and clean everything up, they always seemed to find their way back in again after a few months.
