I received an email from my sister regarding an email she had received about putting up a contraption to discourage flies and bees from entering your home.
The email stated that if you take a baggie fill it halfway with water and put four pennies in it, it was prevent flies from crossing over it.
I called her immediately as told her that there was a deli up here that had this on the top of their doors. I had asked the girl at the counter why it was there. She said it stops flies from coming into the deli. "Right" I thought. Well, when this email crossed my path, I said "what the heck" and tried it.
Does it work? Let's put it this way, before I would have A LOT of flies in my house, especially when I had horses, that was really bad. Now I may have one or two in my house and that may be from another door being open and they will come in that way.
People ask "What the...." I tell them I am trying something different and their response is why don't you get a screen door? That would be way too easy.
Here is a picture of it, I would recommend it especially if you have flies bad, at that point, I would of tried anything!

Well I ammmmmmm Back!!!!
I have been wanting to write to everyone and I am getting a lot of emails wagging their fingers at me due to the fact I am not taking time to update my blog.
Wow, all I can say, WOW!!!!
What the heck!!!!
OK OK OK let's start for where I left off, Bertha (the tree) is DOWN!!!!! I knew Andy would not let it alone. Called a friend of his and asked "Whanna go cut down a tree?" "Wow!" Sam said when he saw it, "let's do it!" I had to be there to watch this show. Well as you can see the pictures, no harm was done to humans, trucks or to the forest. The crack as it was coming down was incredible!!! Five and a half cords of wood that puppy gave us (not including five cords that was Sam's) Over 10 1/2 cords Bertha had! Can you believe it! So, that has occupied ALL of our time for the past week and a half, cutting up the tree, splitting and stacking the wood, FINALLY OVER! Good news, I didn't even break a nail! So, here are some pics of the HUGE undertaking, this is just one story of MANY I have but one post at a time!!!
