Living In America

Live with this

Of course, without hard work nothing grows in your garden… just weeds.

But some of them are flowers too! (when you learn to recognize them).

Until you know what kind of plants they are these plants are disliked.

For example:

If you see this in your grass:

Leave the dandelions alone… These are not bad at all. On the contrary, they improve soil structure for the type of root the grass has.

But it’s best to cut their heads before the seeds spread.

And if you have clover don’t worry about these either ↑: this little plant ↑ takes nitrogen from the air and feeds the soil.

Think of that!

In fact, there is no such thing as ‘weeds’, just as there is no human being that has no value.

I’m not a gardener, I learned this in the “Consumer Reports” magazine this month.

It Happened Today

There are as many stories to tell as there are people to tell them…

But this really happened, this morning …

While I was out walking early this morning I heard a noise in the water — like pebbles…

I got scared because there wasn’t anyone else around… besides Toby, me and hundreds of them jumping…

Yesss !!

To be a different fish you have to jump out of the school!

But the truth is that …

I’m really convinced that: envy, hatred and selfishness are the first in the race to the top of the mountain.

A confident person enjoys the journey, enjoys the people and everything else he finds along the way…

And does not see life as ‘competition‘.

These people also get to the top… but not because ‘God is up there waiting…’

He’s right down here helping his followers to understand that: the vision is glorious, wherever you are! !

Forget

Forget pricey plant food – water your greenery with a healthy broth!

Cover peelings from fruit and veggies with cold water, soak overnight and strain, then use it to feed your plants. It contains vitamins ans minerals that make greens thrive.

Invite

Encourage butterflies to stay more time eating dessert in your garden ….

Serve these snacks for their ‘offspring’ …

Their favorite food is’↓:

♥ Parsley

♥ Dill

♥ Milkweed ↓

For a butterfly that is the ‘equivalent’ to a 5 star restaurant! ♥

The Monarchs travel 2,000 miles each year (from Canada to Mexico) and are very hungry in this season.

I Highly Recommend

This kind of help I have at home …

I’m not talking about the dogs, but this white robot on the floor that works silently sweeping and (or) washing the floor.

It’s called” Mint”.

I bought it more than a year ago, and until now no problem at all.

The only thing you need to remember is that he’s working, because he doesn’t make any noise!

I’m also have those from the ”IRobot” brand and they are great too, but … they make a little noise, … Just a little bit more so that you don’t forget they’re working.

This yellow one is called ”Dirt Dog” and it is for hard work like picking up nails, screws and stuff like that… I use it more to clean the porch, but sometimes he works indoors.

Those ”IRobot” they have a little brush that comes out, rotate and clean between the baseboards and the floor. Super good, but my dog (Shiloh) always want to chase that brush. Very funny but expensive damage.
Any one of these robots will ’call you’ if they find some trouble, but they do not fall from the stairs.

What you need it’s take away things with fringes of the ground it can be a mess to fix it.

The sounds that they make are very funny.

No, I’m not earning anything at all to make this commercial, or any recognition.

Here in America you can buy ”Mint” in any Walmart, … The other ones online, at Fry’s, Best Buy, Sears…

As they are ‘shorties’ they go anywhere, especially under the bed or any of your furniture.

When they finish work they call you.” Mint” works through a GPS.

One Solution

They arrive in the Spring:

The damn fleas.

But you can still keep them away by using eucalyptus oil (5 drops in a glass of water), and spraying collars, bandanas and wherever your dogs sleep.

Insects such as fleas and other nasty insects do not like eucalyptus!

This tip is only for those who have dogs.

I mixed up a solution of oil of eucalyptus, oil of lavender, peppermint oil and water, put it in a spray bottle. We are super fragrant for our evening walk! The mosquitoes hate this solution.

I spray it into my hands and then rub a little on the legs, neck and belly of my Jacks.

I learned the eucalyptus suggestion from Charlotte Reed in “The Miss Fido Manners Complete Book of Dog Etiquette.”

I honestly forgot the combination of the oils.

Of course if you have carpet there will be those eggs, in this case do the following:

→ Throw baking soda on carpets, mats and cushions and every crevice of the house… leave it on for a while and then vacuum up the powder being careful where you dump the contents! Do this once a week, besides everything else you already know about cleaning. Fleas are very difficult to remove if you have an infestation inside your house.

Goodbye

Why can’t we get the whole world, those who we really like, and stay together …?

Well, maybe just would not work so well …
Someone always ends up going.
Then you would have to say goodbye anyway.
Just because I hate goodbyes.
I know what I need: more ”hellos”.
Because there is no comfort in this word ”goodbye”, even though you say in French, German or English.
“Goodbye …” the type of word in any language, is full of sadness.
A word that promises absolutely nothing.
Saying this word is equal to die a little.

Why all the hellos have to come with a goodbye …?

Come back soon Rocio.

You Can Choose !

To pay $ 125 for this rain boots in any store, online or not:

Or pay $ 7.89 for the same boot, brand new! Never used (tried on maybe, as with any shoe store).

So go with an open mind, a resale shop, thrift store, or even a garage sale in America.

I found these boots last week which were perfect for my walks with the dogs on rainy days.

Thrift is poetic because it is creative; waste is unpoetic because it is waste.That’s what I believe.

Help others pass this information.

Listen

You are doing God’s work.
And it’s doing wonderfully well.
He is always going to bless you and bless you for it … Even and especially when your days and nights are those very challenging.
What reminds me of the woman who anonymously, timidly, … maybe even with some hesitation (and embarrassment …?), Fought his way through the crowd … just to touch the hem of the garment of the Master.
So, I’m sure Jesus will also tell women who worry, wonder and weep for their maternal responsibilities:
“Daughter, be of good cheer: thy faith hath saved thee.
“And that will cause their children to be healed too. ”
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY !!

Present

For Mother’s Day,… or any other day:

Books are a GREAT gift, they contain a whole world inside …. Also it’s much cheaper to buy a book, than the whole world.

Maybe that’s why they’re so heavy …?

Well, I love to read stories and there are stories and ‘stories’ behind everything!

How … I put that picture on the wall, why I have this or that scar …

Sometimes the stories are simple, sometimes hard to tell and break our hearts …

But behind all the stories, it always’ the story of our mother, because with her ALL began.

Now go and visit her, look into her eyes and see the purest love that exists on this earth.
