Eye on Illahie: July 2009
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Friday, July 31, 2009. Don't You Wish You Were an Insomniac? Look at all the stuff you miss while you are sleeping! Critters eating my tomatoes! I went out yesterday and picked a colander full of almost-but-not-quite-ripe tomats. This is what was left after I shared the bounty with Kent, who was kind enough to let me put a 4 x 4 raised bed in his sunny site. I've about had it with this thief.

Eye on Illahie: Non-Toxic Mosquito Spray
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009/07/non-toxic-mosquito-spray.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Friday, July 3, 2009. I was horrified last night when I was closing up for the night to find that there were about 100 mosquitoes on my kitchen ceiling and walls. Yikes! I have no bug spray in the house and really wouldn't want to use a toxic spray in my kitchen anyway. But I grabbed my spray bottle, put in 1/2 cup of water, added 1/4 tsp of dish soap and three drops of peppermint oil. I shook it a bit and started spraying. No more skeeters. :). Eat Close To Home.

Eye on Illahie: May 2009
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Monday, May 18, 2009. Yesterday was Planting Time at IB. Late morning half a dozen of us assembled on the beach with the huge bunch of plants we'd bought the day previous, and plant we did! I won't even begin to guess how many plants were put into containers, but we started at the beach, did one on a corner, and then broke for lunch at Timmy's. Ahhh, summer approaches. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. This post is a "steal", directly from the 100 Mile Diet. Because it says ex...

Eye on Illahie: Ahhhh-CHOOOO!
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009/07/ahhhh-choooo.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Thursday, July 2, 2009. I have grown quite aggravated at whatever critter has been eating my garden. Other people are dealing with aphids and white flies. I have no aphids and only a few scattered white flies; But I do appear to have a cow visiting my teeny patch. Well, a small cow. but one who adores watermelon vines and bean plants! That is until the hungry hungry whatever. And my bush beans! Several plants eaten right down to the stem! This calls for war! About 1...

Eye on Illahie: Ruth's Golden Thumb
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009/08/ruths-golden-thumb.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Monday, August 3, 2009. Tony says Ruth doesn't have a "green thumb", she has a golden. Her 4 x 4 garden has been spectacularly successful this summer, and the latest evidence is this green pepper which she picked this morning. And the answer must surely be yes.

Eye on Illahie: Under Cover of Darkness
http://eye-on-illahie.blogspot.com/2009/07/under-cover-of-darkness.html
Our Little Community on Okanagan Lake. Sunday, July 5, 2009. Under Cover of Darkness. I should have been sound asleep, but like the cat, I am often nocturnal. Unfortunately, unlike the cat, I can rarely sleep during the daytime. What do you call someone who doesn't sleep besides tired? Anyway, at the usual 1:00 am there was a scramble of little feet on my pots, little toenails scrabbling across plastic. I had left the spray bottle of home made Tabasco and soap Critter Off!

The Cataract Club (formerly known as) The Musings of a Middle Aged Woman: October 2014

The Cataract Club (formerly known as) The Musings of a Middle Aged Woman. Getting older isn't just about arm flab or memory loss. It has its advantages like senior discounts or two for one at IHOP (between the hours of 4 and 6pm only). It's not much different than the terrible twos but without the spankings.that is unless you want one. Thursday, October 30, 2014. I was reading yesterday about ways to cure the hiccups. I had no idea there were so many methods out there to cure them. First, pinch your nose...
