Recycled Container For Succulents Memorial Day Fun

I hope you all have had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!
The weather here in Bakersfield has been fantastic and I spent a lot of time outside in my little garden this weekend.  I love getting my hands dirty and had so much fun with our dogs out in the yard while I was working..I laughed soo much this weekend ..and what a great time it has been---
am getting ready to make a marinade for some fish tacos---but I wanted to share with you
a recycled container that I did today----  I really like  the end results :)

I had this "waterfall " piece that the pump went out on awhile back---I didn't throw it away--I knew it could be re-purposed for something---

today--hubby drilled some drain holes and I filled it up with succulents and moss---- and I really like it better now    than when the "waterfall" was actually working :)

How to Kill Mosquitoes - NOT A JOKE

I got this in an e-mail today and have never tried it but plan on doing so this summer and had to pass it on here.


"You may be aware of this, but I thought it was worth looking at again “How to Kill Mosquitos - NOT A JOKE “

I can't wait to try this in the summer!
 
I was at a deck party awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it....Pass it on.

OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house. EARTH FRIENDLY TOO!!! "

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I myself look at it this way...
 if any of those pesky critters survive the Listerine attack
...at least they will have decent breath when they bite you :)
