Annie,

Another thing I learned in the Army , however would not depend on is
this..... get the smoke of a fire on you and it apparently keeps the bugs away?
I have a yard fireplace and I light it when we entertain, I do feel it helps
with the mosquitos but I am not sure on the bee's. I had my husband remove all
the bird houses I made from the backyard since we found several nests in them. I
will make more but with no openings this time. :) I have found the cotton suits
in some catalogs I recieve but have not heard about the paper ones. Thanks
again.

Sarah




Hi Sarah

Double wow!! My husband has also suggested the paper suits for wearing when
I'm gardening, the ones with elasticated cuffs at the arms and the legs
yes??

Annie :o)
