Rainbow...not..

When we were driving going down West Union last week, I asked my husband to slow down because I thought that I've seen a rainbow. I haven't seen any rainbow at ever since I came here in the States so I got excited. But when we finally stopped at the cemetery to visit my FIL's parents, my thought of a rainbow was wrong. I don't know what makes the cloud looks reddish in some part but it wasn't a rainbow for sure. Here are some shots I took.

Pretty isn't it?

Organic Insect Spray

Aside from my dog, Chelsea, who love eating my flowers, insects are also one of my flower's predator. Below is a photo of my yellow rose at our backyard. I was happy that this rose is tall and that our dog can't eat it. The only problem is the insect that starts to eat it. Do you see the see the defective petals at the bottom? I keep removing the worms and the eggs that I see in it but every morning, they're back again. I have to get me an insecticide which is safe for the dogs and for my kids since I can't do my gardening without them by my side.

I search for organic insect spray and found the EndALL insect spray. This insect spray is suppose to kill 45 kinds of insects of all stages, meaning from eggs to adult. This would be a good one for me to buy since I have two dogs and two children, plus using an organic spray also helps not to pollute or not to cause harm to our environment. One thing that I like is it's affordable price. How about you, do you get any insects in your garden? Do your prefer using organic spray to kill them? I DO!

Installing the Gates of the Fence

Hello everyone, how is the start of your week? Mine was busy, I just now have the time to open my blog and make some update. We went to Lowe's today and bought the water sealer that we will apply on the inside part of the fence. Below are the pictures when hubby and I, with the help of Dad, installed the gates. We did not buy a ready made gate because it was a little expensive.

My husband just made tow gates out of the panels that we bought.

Now that our fence is up, I am glad because the kids can just play at the back without me worrying that some bad people will harm them. The deers also can't access with my flowers anymore, the only problem is that my dog Chelsea loves eating all of the flowers she can't find wahhhhh.

We used solid stain outside the fence to hide the grains of the wood and we will be using clear and natural look of stain inside. Hubby will use a sprayer inside to finish it quicker. Will post the painted fence net time. 

Mulch

We went to Lowe's yesterday to buy the water sealer for the fence. I also bought two bags of mulch and put it in my garden in front of the house. I got tired of the weeds that keeps coming back over and over again. so there, it looks better with mulch anyway.

These are the flower seeds that I am growing. I did not buy any flowers this year in the store as I did not have savings for it. Hopefully this will grow faster before the heat of the sun become intense. The seeds by the way, are the seeds from my previous plants, I did not buy them.

Thanks for visiting folks.

Lost but Lucky

I wasn't able to participate to the Camera Critters meme last week because we went down Hoopie, the place where my parents-in-law both grew up. We took Dad with us and he showed us the places where they used to play and stuff. I think, it's been so long since my FIL visited the lace that is why, we got lost. We turned the wrong way.

We got LOST but we got lucky because the owner of this ranch that we drove to were very nice. They let the kids pet the ponies and the dogs, they also got the chance to rid in the horse!

They have goats, chicken, and I think 8 horses in their ranch.

Thanks Mary and Janie for being so cordial and friendly to us even if you don't know us. You guys gave our kids a great opportunity to experience the wild side of WV.

Rylie and EJ had a blast, they sure had so much fun in going down WV.

We plan to come back there when we have a chance. It's a long drive though, It takes 2 to 3 hours to drive down there. You will never get bored though because the view are gorgeous! I'll show some more pics next time!
