This Weather...

is really starting to freak me out a little bit. LOL. It is so cold that I have the heat on!!!! That is not right. The normal temps for this time of year here in Southern Indiana are about 80 degrees. It has been cold all week. I hope that it does not mess up my garden! I am pretty sure that we had a bit of frost the other morning. :(

Well, I need to go - Today is my 40th birthday and I have to go unpack some sweaters - because we are all freezing!!!!!!!

How to Get Rid of Wasps

How to Get Rid of Wasps

I am needing this now - The wasps are back. Every time I clear out one their nest they just move to another place in my yard. Now they are in the shed again and in the telephone box thing on the side of the house.

6 Fun Ideas to Keep Cool on a Hot Day

The heat of the Summer sun does strange things to people, who'll often go to great lengths just to feel refreshed. Having a cold shower and sitting inside your house in the cooling air conditioning aside, here's 6 fun ideas to keep cool on a blistering Summer's day:

Swimming. The number one past time to while away a Summer's day. Little can beat a day at a water park if you've got one near you. Or you might be lucky enough to live within walking distance to a public pool, or even luckier enough to have a pool at your house. If so, why not gather some friends together and make a day of it? There are few people who'll refuse the opportunity to have a refreshing dip in a pool on a hot day.
Water fight. We're all children at heart, but it might take the adults in your neighbourhood a bit of convincing before they agree to this one. Water pistols and water balloons are the obvious weapons of choice here, but really anything can be employed such as ice-cream containers, hoses and buckets. There are little rules to a water fight, it's sort of a soggy guerrilla warfare. Encourage passers-by and your community to join in, you may start a street-wide battle. Of course, if you're in an area where water shortage is a problem, this is obviously a terrible idea.
Picnic in a park. Find a shaded area in a forested section of your favourite park and settle down on a rug with a good book or good friends. Eat cold foods and drink and you'll soon be comfortable and calm. It's amazing how effective sitting in the shade is for cooling off.
Frozen treats. Keep your children healthy by keeping them away from ice cream. Frozen ice blocks made of juice or cordial are a delicious Summer treat for children and adults alike. Pour liquid into a glass or cup and cover with tinfoil. push a spoon (or ice cream stick if you have them) through the foil and pop into the freezer. These will obviously need to be made the night before, but are well worth the wait and will keep for weeks.
Ice-skating. Rinks need to be kept at a constant cool temperature, so if you're looking for respite from the heat, this is the place to go. Be aware though that there is often session times you'll have to wait for and going from the freezing rink back into the oppressive heat can be a little disappointing.
Get out and get inside. Heading to an indoor shopping centre is a very effective way of keeping cool. Any indoor space is bound to have a constant cool temperature thanks to air conditioning. Alternatively, you could head to the movies, where you'll sit in comfort in the cool air and not have to think about the heat outside for a few hours.

Keeping cool quickly becomes the most important part of your day sometimes, but it can also be the funnest. Think of the Summer sun as an excuse to have fun and you'll soon be popping with ideas of your own.

Keep Cool With A Water Mister

I bought one of there a couple of years ago and it works great. My little one always wants to be outside , but because he is so young , someone HAS to be out there with him ! He keeps cool by playing in his small pool. I needed something to keep me cool, so I tried one of these and love it. It really works. Blows the cool water on me and really keeps me cooled off. When you have nothing else this can be a life saver. I also wear a sun hat.

Keeping Cool With No A/C ( or Power )

I am always looking for ways to save money on bills ! Our heating bills were more than usual this year because of the major cold we had. So I have been looking for ways to save money on cooling cost and ways to not use the air conditioner as much. I found these free patterns or Tutorials online to make these awesome neck cooling bands. They are so easy and really do work. I remember when I was little and we sat in the heat all day at the Madison Regatta and someone had let us kids use theirs and it really cooled us off. You can buy yourself some , but I am all about saving money so I suggest you make your own. I know that you have some fabric laying around that is just begging to be sewn into something useful!!

I will try to post some other ideas on how to keep cool this summer over the next few weeks.

YARD SALES!!!!

My daughter woke me up on Saturday and wanted me to go to yard sales with her. Even though I had only 3 hours of sleep , I got up to go with her and am glad that I did. These were the first ones that I had been to this season. It was pretty productive and VERY low prices compared to last year. Last year every yard sale I went to was priced like the owners thought the stuff was made of solid gold.
I got a tent for $2.00!! Which we are going to use this vacation to stay close to home and camp at the state park that is about 10 miles from our house. I am not sure what happened to our other tent that we had , but now we have a good one that is for 6 people. I also got a ton of fabric!! More sewing!!! Yippee!!! I got my little one some Tonka tractors and trucks. I got some clothes and a few books. Over all it was a really good time with my daughter and a good day!!

Oh I almost forgot , I got a really neat Pyrex dish that is inside a brass thing that has a lid! Under it is a holder for a candle. Really cool. I tried it out that night and put a can of pork and beans in it. Lit the candle and within a few minutes I had warm beans. GREAT!!

My Small & Humble Garden

It is a real small garden - about 3 feet by 10 feet is all that I have space for. But me and my little one got it all cleaned out and turned over. Than we planted our seeds. He picked out Green Pepper, Cherry Tomatoes, Brussel Spouts, Zuchinni, Baby Corn, and Green Beans!! I think that for being 4 years old , he picked some great veggies to grow in our small garden!! I need to go and get some stakes and tomato cages so that when it all starts to grow we will be ready. Last year all that we planted there was tomatoes and green peppers. The tomatoes took over and we had thousands of cherry tomatoes!! My little one had just thrown the whole package of seeds. LOL This time I actually planned and only put in a few seeds. I think that it should produce good. I have some ideas for doing a couple of raised gardens out behind the shed that I want to work on this weekend. It is not supposed to rain too much. That is why I am so late getting this garden ready. Everytime I would plan on working and getting it done, A huge storm would blow in!! I also have strawberries inside in a huge pot and another huge pot that has Baby Cucumbers!! I can't wait until it all is grown and we are eating it all!!!!!!

Car Trouble

We had finally went a got a newer car 2 weeks ago and today we woke up and it would not start. Come to find out it had a bad battery in it. Luckily I had a battery here that was for our generator and it fit right in and started right up. But, how in the heck does a car lot sell a car with a bad battery in it. The positive post was broke off and the juice was leaking out. The positive thing was all corroded. Oh well. At least we had a battery. But what if we did not have one?? I guess we need to be prepared for any type of an emergency, not just food and home!! We also need to be prepared for car emergencies, also!!! I need to get one of those car kits , that have the jumper cables, flashlights, etc in them. I also want to have a bag with emergency stuff in it. Just something else to have to prepare for.

Garden Weekend

With all of the bad weather that we have been having I have not gotten my garden started yet. I feel so behind and bad about that. Hopefully it will not affect anything and the veggies and herbs will grow! I do have strawberries started inside. I wanted to get some other stuff started inside , but I just have not gotten anything done that I wanted to get done. I am in a funk, I think. The bad winter and than this bad weather just has me down. Hopefully when I see my garden start to grow I will feel better. I am going to spend the whole weekend working on the garden. I am going to get the veggie party started in my yard.

ANYONE ELSE BEHIND ON GETTING THEIR GARDEN STARTED???
