NO more Ants

The ants were invading my hummingbird feeder!

So I did a little research and found that I needed to add an ant moat.  The ants crawl up the pole but can't get to the feeder because there trapped by the water!  GENIUS.

A little craftiness and a hot glue gun does the trick.

Use an aerosol can lid.  Drill a little hole and take some wire or a coat hanger.  Use the hot glue to attach the wire and close up the hole so the water does not drip out.


Now the hummingbirds don't have to share with the ants only the bees.

Painting the Stair handrails

Don't you just love that 80's orangeee oak color?

Well that's what I had on the stair handrails. And since the handrail is open and runs up thru the center of our house and all across the cat walk I got to look at it every day. I had trouble deciding whether to paint it white or black.

Some Inspiration:
