#DIY Mosquito Control

Ran across this article on the Instructables website and I thought I'd share it with you. DIY Mosquito control He uses an electric fan and screen to capture the #mosquitoes . What do you think? Not sure I'd want to listen to the hum of the fan but it sounds like it may have some merit. Also, must be safer than using all those chemical sprays so I guess there is only one way to find out how effective it is - something to try on the next camping trip.

Here is some of the wildlife we saw at #CharlestonLkPP

 

 

Baby King Birds
Osprey
Deer
Blue Heron
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker
Black Rat Snake
Loon

#CharlestonLake
#OurPurpleCanoe

Paddling around is a great way to see nature.  With the exception of the snake, these pics were taken from the canoe paddling along the shoreline, mostly in the area around Whitefish Island.
On our last day there when packing up, we were fortunate to see the #BlackRatSnake slither acrosss the road right in front of our campsite - a nice way to end another wonderful camping experience at #CharlestonLkPP

It's finally here..

(I honestly think I will be able to post this year and get this blog off the ground)

#thepurplecanoe has awoken from it's winter slumber and the first order of business is to give it a nice wash.

It was a beautiful sunny day and and a good scrubbing was in order.  In short order thepurplecanoe was all shiny and showing off it's magnificent "purpleness"

Here she is with her camping mate in the background.

Happy Canada Day!

What a beautiful Canada Day here in Niagara - sun and heat.  Could only have been better if we had been on the water.  Spent the day packing the trailer though, and listening to the live music drifting down from the park up the street where all the Canada Day celebrations were taking place.
Soon enough The Purple Canoe will take it's maiden paddle on the clear, cool waters of Charleston Lake.  Looking forward to camping time with our 'canoeing partners' Mark and Maureen for some relaxing, fun times around the fire.
