Tip of the Day - Get in Gear for Summer
Posted on June 18, 2008 by
I’ve compiled a list of ten tips for keeping cool and having fun, to help you make your summer a green one! (Hey, look, it rhymes! That was totally accidental.)
Tip of the Day
Soak Up Stains With Salt
I’ve been a little lax about scrubbing the kitchen sink lately. It’s old white porcelain and soaks up stains like nobody’s business. If I keep up with it, a gentle all purpose cleaner is enough to get the stains out, but when I let it go, it’s usually time to bring out the big guns.
Hooray for garage sales!
Under the Keep Your Kitchen Cool heading: grill. Summers in Tucson mean trying to keep as cool as possible (108 yesterday). I try to use my kitchen appliances as little as possible and move to the grill.
I’m thinking of taking #2 a step further and putting my crock pot on the porch to cook with it. I just hope it doesn’t attract bugs.
Good tips!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Frogwatchers tip. Actually these are all great. One of our favorite wood walker memories from last year was spotting a little snake eating a littler frog. Sort of rough, but that’s nature for ya.
I’m so glad to be reunited with my patio furniture. I’m going to be hanging outside all the time now. Screw the AC!
And garage sales, yes please!
