MESSY KITCHENS

Clean and keep safe by:

Using disinfectants for cleaning counters after working with raw meat and poultry. Get product that is effective, but non aerosol–you don’t need the product airborne.

Using self sticking paper shelf liners that are water proof, if mold develops you will have to change the paper not shelf.

Pick a garbage can with a lid to keep odors and spores in. Empty it daily.

Washing dishrags (longer lasting than sponges) regularly (at least 3 times week) after using for washing dishes and counters.

Avoid ANTIBTERIAL SPONGES which likely are treated with chemical that irritate skin and maybe environmentally harmful.

PICTURES

Kid’s photos: Mount on stiff cardboard with double stick tape, leaving 1/4″ margin all around. Glue wooden pencils around the margin for a nice school theme.

Have frames that don’ match, just spray-paint them all one color—lots of choices here, flat paint, glossy and lots of metallic just depends where you want to put them and your ongoing themes.

Have a frame you love but it’s wobbly–Drive two staples (with stable gun) across the back of each mitered joint.

or get some shallow wicker baskets large or small enough for each picture out and cut out bottom for picture, attach picture and hang on wall or set up alone or in groups on shelves or tables for a dramatic effect….you can paint the baskets first to have an even different effect.

READING OMENS

“A ring around the moon is a sign of bad weather. The old woman who dwells there is putting a hood over her head, a white hood for frost or snow and a black one for rain or a sudden thaw.–Ojibwa omen

Our ancestors paid close attention to the natural world, but most of us now spend too much time indoor, watching TV , putting thing on Face Book and generally not seeing much that’s more than a few arms-lengths away.

Creating awareness of the season:

Go outside

Take in and note all the characteristic: weather, foliage, birds, and animals, temperature etc.

What best represent the present season? Pick only a couple.

Look for signs of past seasons and the indications that his season sprang from the last.

Also for signs of the next.

Best done in the same area and over multiple sessions. Don’t over think, just feel and let yourself understand.

Weather omens are fairly simple..the rainbow indicates the rain will stop and thus became a good omen…it has in fact become an international good luck symbol. The Iroquois noted that lots of husk on a ear of corn means a cold winter and the same was true of well furred feet on skunks and coons.
