  • And here's the secret. Set your blooms in water, and leave them be until the water is evaporated. The flowers will then be dried out. The water keeps the petals in their original shape.

Customized All-Natural Room Scents

Do you ever get tired of the overpowering scent of commercial air-fresheners? Why not customize your own scent with all-natural ingredients. Combine fresh citrus with herbs and extracts ...»
and simmer on the stove.

I made this yesterday and my kitchen smelled absolutely amazing! It was full of the crispness of lemon combined with the heady scent of vanilla and the occasional whiff of rosemary!

Absolutely wonderful!

My Secret Garden

One of my favorite books growing up was The Secret Garden. Since my childhood I have always wanted one of my own. I started planning it several years ago when we moved here and just this summer was able to make it a reality!

    grow and bloom and change as your tastes do. And, gardening is much like housework, if you look around- just a little- you can always find more to do. SO, enjoy your piecemeal garden, by the time something wears out, you will be able to replace it with a new idea. My gardens are like that- and most of the decorating stuff comes from watching for clearance sales ( JoAnn Fabrics have great ones!) Enjoy your work forever in progress!

Outdoor Living: Racoons - more wildlife

Well we just added more wildlife today. These are young and there is no mama around. Will these racoons bother my fish pond? Any other problems I should be aware of.
