Here are the meanings in case you decide to make your wreath a different color.

Magnolia Color Meanings:

• Yellow magnolia represents the sun, any solar goddess or god, and for spells case on Sundays.
• White magnolia represents the moon, any lunar goddess, and spells cast on Mondays.
• Pink magnolia represents the feminine, friends, and love. Spells using pink flowers are best cast on Friday, the day belonging to love goddesses like Venus or Aphrodite.

DIY Jack-O-Lantern Floral Centerpiece

I was looking for something different to make for the Halloween season and found this DIY on Pinterest. It  an easy craft and you can find all the items easily at your local Walmart, Dollar Tree and craft store. Let's get started!

Supplies:

• 3 pumpkin pails - Walmart
• Off white spray paint, preferably for plastic - Walmart
• Metallic acrylic paint - Walmart
• small paint brush - Dollar Tree
• hot glue gun  - Walmart
• hot glue sticks - Dollar Tree
• Jute cord - Dollar Tree
• some sort of weight: sand, rocks, etc.
• assorted fall flowers - Dollar Tree

Instructions:

The first thing I did was spray paint the pails. If I had thought more about it, I would have glued them all together first then spray painted. But I painted them all individually. You may want to seal them afterwards as I found out the paint didn't adhere as well as I thought. I might go back later and seal. 

It took a few coats to cover. It didn't take long between coats to dry. I left the handles on because it was easier to handle them and transport them back to my craft room and finish the project.

After a few hours of dry time, I painted the faces with a metallic paint. It took a couple of coats of paint to make it look super gold.

After all the paint was good and dry, I put a large rock in the bottom pail for stability.

I glued the pails together with hot glue and when along the outside after they were all together and added more glue.

Jute cord finished this project off and hid the messy glue. I tacked the cord at the ends with hot glue.

I had a bunch of fall silk flowers in my stash and used them to fill the top.

I'm super happy with this craft. As you can see I didn't line the faces up on purpose because I thought it would add a little character to the craft.

Check out the video on YouTube ...

10 Household Ingredients to Help Your Garden & Natural Pest Repellants

**UPDATED 6/25/23**

Did you know you can use household pantry items to help grow your garden and are great insect/animal repellants? Here are a few tips & tricks:

1. BAKING SODA - Sprinkle it on the surface of your soil to make your geraniums, coneflowers, daylilies, and clematis bloom like crazy. That’s because baking soda is alkaline, and those flowers thrive on alkaline soil. Also makes your tomatoes sweeter. You can use it to prevent fungus because its alkalinity creates an environment hostile to fungal growth. Simply stir a teaspoon of baking soda into a liter of water and spray the leaves of your fungus-prone plants (these include tomatoes and lilacs).
   
2. CREAM OF TARTAR -  makes a great ant repellant, simply sprinkle a bit on the perimeter of the table or wherever you want to dust their trail.
3. CAYENNE PEPPER - Repel squirrels, these little buggers like to dig flower bulbs. To deter them, sprinkle cayenne pepper around your bulb gardens. Reapply when you see the squirrels returned.
4. WHITE VINEGAR - Gets rid of algae. Just spray it with full-strength distilled white vinegar on your patio and voila it's gone!! You can also turn your pink hydrangeas blue with vinegar. Vinegar also enhances the soil of acid-loving plants like azaleas, rhododendrons, and gardenias. Use a cup of white distilled vinegar to a gallon of tap water.
5. OLIVE OIL - Rub olive oil onto the cutting and digging surfaces of your garden tools, as well as on your lawn mower blades. This will repel dirt and rust and make it easier to clean them next time.
6. DISH SOAP - Get rid of those pesky bugs eating your flowers and veggies. Combine liquid dish soap with water at a ratio of 2 tablespoons per gallon to create a mixture of slightly less than 1 percent soap. Mix together well. Pour the mixture into a garden sprayer or spray bottle if you prepared it in a different container. Repeat the application every four to seven days until the pests are sufficiently controlled. Use only a mild liquid dish soap that does not contain a degreaser and is not intended for use with a dishwashing machine.
7. COFFEE GROUNDS - Attracts earthworms and other microorganisms. They are naturally acidic and high in nutrients plants need like nitrogen and potassium, which can be very beneficial – a great way to neutralize alkaline soils or enrich nutrient-poor gardens.

8. **CANOLA OIL AND IVORY SOAP - Help rid mites, aphids and mealy bugs. Mix one tablespoon of canola oil and a few drops of Ivory soap into a quart of water. Shake well and pour into a spray bottle. Spray plants from above down, and from below up to get the underside of the leaves. The oil smothers the insects.

9. **EGGS - For Deer control: Mix one whole egg with a quarter cup of water and mix well. Pour the mixture into a pump bottle and spray it on your plants. This deterrent will withstand light rains because the egg sticks to the leaves.
10. **BANANAS - Chop up banana peels, then bury them in the soil when you plant tomatoes, rosebushes, or green pepper plants. The potash and phosphorous content in the peels will enrich the soil and strengthen your plants.

Keep it sassy,

A Visit to the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix Arizona

**UPDATED 3/31/23**

My husband and I made a trip to Arizona late February and early March to visit my Mom in Mesa, Arizona.  One of the places we got to explore was the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona.  The garden was not in full bloom, but it was nice just the same.  I think we were about a month too early.

There were plenty of cacti to see and several that happened to have blooms on them.   There were some beautiful flowers in bloom.  One of the exhibits in the garden is called The Bee Garden.  Here are some of the flowers that were in bloom.  And yes the bees were doing their thing.

This is called the Ironwood Tree.  It stands 20 feet tall.  Quite impressive in person.

Jeff Hebets is the artist.  He made this in honor of his cousin, Phil who originated a tree boxing methodology that enabled over a million native plants to be salvaged instead of bulldozed.

As you can see it is a beautiful place.  There was a lot of walking and the sun does get hot quickly in Arizona.  Leroy and I enjoyed it. The two of us took an abundance of pictures where ever we would go, over 500 pictures on our trip altogether.  Coming soon there will be more posts about the other places we visited in scenic Arizona.  Between catching up on work and helping out the grandbabies, I have been pretty busy.  Plus I have to take time to do our Sassy Silver Sister live once a month.

So until my next blog post, enjoy your time this spring.  Don’t forget to visit Sassy Silver Sisters on Facebook.

Take care, Rhonda (the middle sister).
