I just love that rug, keep up the story telling. I enjoy reading what you post in your & my blog. Do take time to rest & take in the fruits of your labour Julia.

Your pig is just perfect! <br />Two days ago I found out a friend was just diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer and will be having surgery next week. Thankfully it was found early. I've had a couple biopsies but they have come back negative. I keep all these ladies (and men) in my prayers.<br />Hugs :)<br />LaurenRugs and Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084387971128823025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-84424916467117774272013-07-04T15:32:49.711-03:002013-07-04T15:32:49.711-03:00Sweet Julia I am so glad you posted about the boil...Sweet Julia I am so glad you posted about the boiling water to kill weeds. I had heard that it worked well but never knew anyone who had actually tried it. Now I will go for it since I see it works. I don't like using chemicals around all the wildlife and pets.

Last but not least..Thank you so much for the scarf that you're lovingly making for the "Pink Scarf Project" this fall. I'm know it will bring a big smile on the face of a cancer patient...in fact, another good friend of mine is going through treatment now...such a bad disease..Thanks for the July 4th greeting too!

I am so happy to hear you use hot water to kill weeds. That horrible product that a lot of people spray all over their yards is so toxic...people don't realize it contains the same ingredients as Agent Orange and has devastating health consequences...some of my neighbors use it all the time! <br />Love your pretty gazebo pic on your header.<br />Have a great weekend,<br />RobynMugwump Woolieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963220428095765949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-18347782222447213272013-07-04T10:18:09.018-03:002013-07-04T10:18:09.018-03:00I'll have to try the boiling water for the wee...I'll have to try the boiling water for the weeds...

I think the water with the swimmers looks fine.<br /><br />I've used boiling water on weeds for years, especially the poison ivy that grows up along the foundation of the house. Better than spraying! I usually pour off cooking water from whatever and take it out and douse the offenders instead of pouring it down the drain.weaverpathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533327863909312395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-61855367311329186732013-07-04T09:38:27.806-03:002013-07-04T09:38:27.806-03:00You are such a good and busy person!

With so much going on at the farm, where do you find time to fit in knitting? Very pretty shade of pink and for such a good cause...Hugs from Maine, Julie.
