>>>Save your big coffee cans for pots, 3 holes with a beer can opener will do it, but put the holes on the sides

What a cool craft idea to do with the kids!

Save cans from veggies, coffe and such....let them decorate...punch holes....let them plant (kids love to play with dirt) then use wire to make hanging plants.

They will love that!

Or buy some cheap jute thread and and teach them to macrame, pot holders, just be sure that the cans are large, as the small ones will fail, no room for roots to grow.

If you want to teach seed growing, the smaller cans work, but I always saved the used styrofoam coffee cups and poke 3 holes with a pencil in the bottom

To fix a small can for seeds, using a regular can opener, cut the bottom out.......then using pliers, gently bend the bottom over in 4 places, and drop the cut out bottom back in and you have a way to push the plant out and not damage the roots.

If you are into recycling, you will have a ball, every thing will hold a plant, but the clear soda bottles are not good for growing plants, or at least don't work for me.

better to bury a large one (on the side) so the mouth is at ground level and then put about a half cup of beer in it with a 1/4 inch of cheap cooking oil on top.

You will be amazed at the bugs you will catch.

I knew there was something that I had forgotten.

Yesterday Kristin the 13 year old neighbor, was here for awhile, she was out of school for 2 days, a bonus from the school for having all "A" on her report card.

I do ride her, attempting to break her from picking at her face, a lesson that I still haven't learned.

Next time I looked, she was kinda chewing on her necklace and then it hit me.

She was wearing a simple on a string, necklace of tiny sea shells. .49 cents at any store, as little as possible, no catch......etc..

The worker who strung those few shells on a string, would not have clean hands, might well be too sick to go to a factory and work.

No indoor plumbing, etc, name your own scene.

(get the tinfoil out)

What a quick way to introduce disease to a country.

Anything that is that cheap and simple, well , dip it in germs and be sure that sooner or later a kid will have it in its mouth.

I asked if she had washed it and she told me yes, she takes a shower with it on..............

I will need an extra large jacket, with long arms, maybe a bright blue or red. please.
