Deck and Outdoor Living Tuna Can Lantern

Inexpensive and easy way to make DIY outdoor lighting by re-purposing a tuna can. A dowel, paint or old broom stick, wood screw, copper fitting, and a thrift store glass hurricane is all that is needed. Simply drill a hole in the can and dowel to attach the dowel/paintstick and spray paint it. Once the paint is dry add the glass hurricane. Cost- $5.00

    out. Around our area here in northeast point of TN, it is called "The Devil's Shoestring". I think this name comes from the string-like tendrils that are among the leaf parts of the plant and the fact that it thrives in hot summer, never goes away and is for the most part, untouchable. The flower spike is pretty when it is blooming but other wise is just a curiosity that never dies and puts out a nice cluster of flowers on the stalk once a year in summer.

Gardening: Anyone know what this plant is?

I have a friend who just bought an older house in Northern/Central Indiana, and these are coming up all over the garden beds through the weed-protecting fabric. She's not sure if it is a weed or an intentional plant.

    There are lots of weeds that are not so invasive that can be transplanted to flower gardens. I ...»
    won't go into the names of them. Many I don't know, and that have beautiful flowers. Most flowers were all, once up on a time, weeds of many kinds. Humans have placed them in flower beds in years gone by. They have become house plants, yard plants, annuals, perennials and so many times taken in to be nurtured and raised so that the seeds have carried on through centuries of passing them around or taking them from fields to homes. God made all of these plants. Humans have given most of them names. God named many that are mentioned in the Bible, mostly trees and shrubs are mentioned there. God made them and we have cultured them into our likes or dislikes of what we desire in and around our homes. Orchids and green houseplants were once parts of the Rainforests around the world and on mountain tops where they thrived and grew. I love all things through God and His Son Jesus Christ who lives today. He loves all things and gave them to be enjoyed by His human children. I am sooo blessed by Him and His lovely world. God Bless everyone on this day that we show our love for God and worship Him. I have said what one of sweet nephews calls TMI. (Too Much Information) I am a writer and philosopher of sorts, so bear or bare with me all you lovely people. <3 :)
