Horse

Native Americans, sand, burrs and beautiful nights
New Mexico

Mine, favorite, drink, hot and cold

A Baker's Dozen. More later . . .


Have you checked out Cindy's interview, Friday, July 13th. Do it, for a chance to get one of her books!




Surviving the rest of summer hints:

  • Don't like creepy crawly insects enjoying your picnic? Place the legs of the picnic table in containers of water. Ants can't swim.
  • Baby wipes will temporarily soothe bug bites.
  • Use apples to ripen your tomatoes. Place in a container with a lid.
  • Put tomatoe-stained plastic containers out in the sun where it can bleach out the stains.
  • Leave uncut watermelons out on the counter--helps keep their health-friendly levels of lycopene. Store in fridge only after they've been cut.
  • Want a good night's sleep? Spend at least 30 minutes a day outside in natural light.




Quote:
The miracles of nature do not seem miracles because they are so common. If no one had ever seen a flower, even a dandelion would be the most startling event in the world.
