| We have discovered there are several mole hills in the yard and they are wrecking the place. Since moles go on scent Bobby was going to plant some castor beans around the garden because that stops them but then he got the bright idea to put used cat litter on the holes and water then. Guess what, the moles are stopped in their tracks. They don't like the smell of cat! Our Butterscotch will kill them when he finds them. |

| My tip on how to clean your house in 15 minutes. You need really heavy duty leaf blower and a 75 ft water hose. The rest should be self explanatory. |

I use the fire hydrant out front with 75ft of 1-1/2 fire hose....large volume of water and high pressure works wonders...... |

| To get burnt food...such as rice ...out of a pan....a can of coke and let it boil in the pan for a few minutes...then a net scrubber will easily remove the food. |

What I like to do...is fill a boiler with water...add orange peel, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves and all spice and let simmer on the stove....makes a great air freshner. |
