Their beauty in the Spring and their fragrance just warms my heart! I use the typical peony rings to support those big beautiful blooms, but I also use medium size round tomato cages. I spray painted them green and put them in place in April before the plant gets too tall. Over the years as the peony widens I just put a 2nd cage next to the other. They stay in place all summer because the leaves of the peony hide the cage. The cages are a bit taller than the typical peony rings, which helps hold their blooms up high! A proud flower I'd say!

Make it into your own work of art. And that old chipped plate, you didn't know what to do with, can adorn your masterpiece. My piece is in memory of my Irish grandmother, Kay. I had a few of her old yellow rose plates which I fondly remember having meals on as a child, which also brings back memories of staying with her on summer vacation.

Today's Tips: Use Egg Cartons to Prop Vegetables in the Garden Use egg cartons to prop your vegetables up out of the dirt in your garden when they get too heavy. I had a squash laying in the dirt and was trying to think what to use to prop it up as it continued to grow. I cut 2 egg cups from an egg carton and placed it under the squash - outside up. Now it is high and dry. You could stake the egg carton in place with a skewer if needed.

I have a Kirby that went out, and I got tired of repairing it each time because it always cost me $24.00 to repair. I am so proud of this vacuum. I have lots of animals and it gets all the hair up. I was worried it wouldn't be very good, but wow was I surprised! I give it a 5 star rating!

I found a very cheap way to pack breakables, all I do is wrap the article then pack all around it with plastic shopping bags. Very cheap to use and weighs hardly anything, therefore you are not wasting precious money on packing material, so you can afford to add in that extra little special something.

In the USA I like to use the "Got2B" brand because it's so very stiff and strong, but a dollar-store brand will also work. Pop flower heads off the stems, then while holding the back of the flower with your hand, spray first the back then the front, totally saturating the flower. Lay flower on a nonstick surface to dry. My favorite way to dry the flowers is to lay them on a wire shelf, but in the summer I like to set them in the sun on top of the grass with the top of the flower facing up.

I have steamed, used baking soda, enzyme sprayed, etc. with no success. I have since decided to use previously used coffee grounds. I have read that it works miracles on many things! I took dried coffee grinds sprinkled all over smelly areas. I left it on overnight. I vacuumed this morning. The smell is going away! It is still faint; but I can sit on the couch and not feel sick to my stomach!. I would recommend using this for several days. (I will let you know if it goes away!) I already notice the area where I ran out of grinds. It smells. I look forward to drying out more grinds from this mornings brew! It does need to be repeated. Good wishes on your smells!

I measure the required milk in a 2 cup mixing cup. Then I add the correct amount of oil and eggs. I beat the cake mix to get the lumps out and then gradually add what is in the 2 cup measuring cup. Once it is blended well, I scrape the bowl and then beat for 2 minutes on medium speed. I then pour the batter in a prepared 9x13 inch pan and bake it a 300 degrees F for about 45 minutes. Baking it with a lower heat makes the cake rise more evenly and keeps the cake from having narrow edges and a high center of the cake. People that eat my cakes can't believe I used a cake mix. They say it tastes like a "scratch" cake.

Use a notebook of any sort and notate things you think would be helpful in future planning. These are the things I'm including in mine: Dollars spent on seeds, fertilizer, soil and such. Names of the seeds planted, date planted, and dates of first harvest. Cost of vegetable plants to track savings from starting from seed. At $3.50 per plant versus $1 per seed packet, I saved $96.This will motivate me to start seeds on time. Names and types of fertilizers along with how often applied. Number of each vegetable planted. Map of garden so I'll remember what was planted where. General notations about diseases, problems, what worked and what didn't. Log the weight of the produce as it comes in to track real grocery store savings. Happy gardening!

I also have to take a fiber supplement daily for my health. I was getting the plain flavored powdered kind so I could hide it in my juice or something, but one day my husband brought home orange-flavored fiber supplement by mistake. I opened it without my glasses on so I couldn't exchange it. I was sad, but then I got a strange idea. I remembered those chocolate "orange slice" candies my mom had bought me every Christmas. So I poured my teaspoon of fiber at the bottom of my coffee cup, added a spoonful of chocolate drink mix (generic), and then the regular amount of instant coffee, sugar and creamer; then hot water and stirred vigorously. I was worried it would taste strange, but it was so delicious! Now I have a great frugal way to "take my medicine" while waking up in the morning, and I'll never have to pay $4 or more for a fancy cup of coffee again! They also have chocolate flavor, I guess, so you could just go chocolate flavored coffee with your fiber hidden in it too. What a delicious way to save money and help your digestive health at the same time!

Soon after, while the couple was vacationing at a resort complex to get his mind off a rather complicated cocaine conspiracy case, he noticed a small, round disc sewn into the design of the tie. The judge showed it to a local FBI agent, who was equally suspicious that it might be a 'bug' planted by the conspiracy defendants. The agent sent the device to FBI headquarters In Washington, DC for analysis. Two weeks later, the judge phoned the Washington office to learn the results of their tests. "We're not sure where the disc came from," the FBI told him, "but we discovered that when you press it, it plays 'Jingle Bells.'"

This winter we started developing a dark or black substance on our plasterboard walls in the living room. It is slightly in the kitchen, very dark on the wooden cover over the attic in front of the bathroom doorway, and just slightly in the computer room behind the bedroom. We do burn candles daily to keep the odor of my cigarette smoking down in the computer room and in the living room, but this never happened last year at all. Can someone please tell me if this dark substance is a mold growing or candle soot? Is there a way to tell the difference on plasterboard, and further more is their an inexpensive way to clean it off the walls.
