ANTS? Easy, Safe Solution!
An exterminator told my friend that when you begin to see ants, they are the scouts. Stop these and you won't have ants. My son discovered that if you spray them with Windex (or any other glass cleaner), they are exterminated. Keep after it for a while and you won't have ants. We have used this for years. 2 days ago our humming bird feeder leaked onto the concrete front porch...the liquid got down in the crack between brick and concrete so there was not way to flush it out.

Painted flower pots for color!
When I decided to add color to my porch (earlier post) I painted old flow pots to match and put them on the front steps.

Definitely gives your entry a welcome punch of color.
Rooting Sago Palm!
We took advantage of picking up a windmill palm while visiting my sister on the coast. A friend of hers had cut down a Sago Palm that had branches 6" dia. My son wanted to plant one and see it it would root. Obviously it did! So I am sending this to all, especially Douglas Hunt!

Repurpose drinking straws
With the heat ruining most of our flowers, the only beautiful color left in the yard being the Caladium, I needed a way to help keep them standing tall so I picked 3 different colors and used drinking straws to help assist me. Instead of throwing them out, save some and reuse them. It just happens that I have red accents in my kitchen so these were perfect for me...but you can find them in many different colors.

Chandelier in a Vase
Several years ago large, cut crystal vases and bowls were the rage...and they were very expensive! I found a great use for mine...I put Christmas lights in it and it gives a great atmosphere to my dining room! I love the way it casts shadows onto the wall and ceiling!
