Try Sweet Autumn Clematis and
Honeysuckle, jasmine, mint and other herbs like rosemary and thyme, oriental lilies, lilacs, roses, peonies, broom (the yellow one that attracts bees), freesia, angel's trumpet (mandevilla), stock, petunias, golden chain trees, purple robed locust trees, and others that I can't think of right now. Some geraniums smell awesome and others don't have a smell. I have one rosebush that is from New Zealand that smells like apples! I plant the mint and herbs all over and even by the porch so when you step on them they smell terrific! They are hardy and can take a little punishment. Get your shovel out and start digging now!
Topsy Turvy Tomato Planter
So I see this commercial and I LOVE THE IDEA....the price...not so bad...19.95 for 2. but then the lower the boom: 7.95 shipping for EACH?!?! You've got to be kidding. I just wanted to know if anybody has one and if it's worth it.
Wave to Fountain Hills as you fly in.
That's where my sister lives.
Going to an outdoor wedding on Sat.
where they are having a pig roast. Never heard of such a thing at a wedding, so should be interesting. Sunday going to my sister-in-law's summer home, as she calls it, (her trailer at a campsite). She loves it there and then laboring on Labor Day. Have to work. Enjoy the unofficial end of Summer.
OUTDOOR ALLERGENS
I agree with your comment about hanging clothes outdoors during certain months. Allergens such as mold and dust cling to the clothes hung outside and you bring them into your home and they also spread the allergens. We don't do that because my grandson and I are highly allergic, and we just have to be outdoors in the allergy season and we sneeze all the time, which is why we both take an antihistamine.
Heat for outdoor pets? Anyone know? (sm)
We have two outdoor dogs and I want to be able to keep them warm at night - if we bring them inside in their crates they cry all night - and if we let them loose they go wild in the house. They love to run and play outside all day and are very loving and friendly and happy - but not indoor types of dogs. We have a barn they can go in at night but I still would like some type of heat for them. I am afraid they might chew the electrical heated mats. Anyone have ideas? Thanks
Chances are, this is an outdoor, nondominational
codes against taking them to a church service, because that would open up a whole nother can of worms.
But really... home-teaching shouldn't be the ONLY input a child gets in life. They will ultimately make their own choices in life, and the more viewpoints they learn, the better their choices are likely to be.
Some of the wildest, most out-of-control kids I know are the ones with ultra-strict parents. Worse yet are the home-schooled, who go out into the world without a good working knowledge of how to deal with diversity.
And look where home-teaching about sex, birth-control, and abstinence has gotten us. More and more teenagers giving birth every day. sex education in the home is pathetically lacking for most kids, and so is home-schooling when it comes to morals and values. And I'm not talking about biblical 'morals', I'm talking about an every-day, common-sense personal CONSCIENCE. Far too many parents I meet appear to be sadly lacking in common sense or a conscience.
we have indoor/outdoor cats
They are allowed to come and go as they please. They have all their shots. We have never had any complaints. I have had five cats that were both indoor and outdoor. One died of old age at 14 and one of heart disease at 12 1/2, one was hit on the road at 3, and the other two are still here. They are 8 and 6. They enjoy going out, and I wouldn't want to take that away from them. We have 5 acres and they probably stay mostly on our land, but I really don't know for sure. Actually, the 8 yo probably doesn't go very far; he usually only wants to stay out for 10 minutes.
buy a very loud outdoor dog that will not shut up???

Deer and rabbits especially think my garden is an outdoor diner. (sm)
Have tried multiple things, can keep rabbits out of green beans, peas and lettuce until they get larger and not so palatable by using chicken wire bent over the rows and pegged down. The deer seem to prefer to just rip smaller branches off the fruit trees and really seem to hit the melons hard.
One of the things that I have tried and works pretty well for me is Irish Spring tied in the branches of fruit trees. I suppose it is the smell they don't like.
Anything else you come up with, please share.
The produce in the store isn't going to do anything but get higher with strikes, etc.
They make paint for everything now...from metal to even outdoor plastic furniture...I am sure there
