A New Grill!

Is there such a thing as an old-fashioned grill anymore?  

No-Squito: Homemade Bug Spray

Summer sunsets are always the prettiest, especially when we’ve had some rain and the remaining clouds add purple streaks to the coral sky. It should be relaxing, watching the sun go down, but it’s usually Bzzt. Zap! Swat! the whole time.
