A star child

Vincent (Starry Starry Night)

“Don McLean wrote Vincent in 1971 after reading a book about the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh. In the 1970s, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam played the song daily and a copy of the sheet music, together with a set of Van Gogh’s paint brushes, is buried in a time capsule beneath the museum.”

This song, the words, Vincent Van Gogh, along with his paintings describe to me a Star Child born in a time that may not have understood.

Peppermint Oil/Leaves

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint

another use of peppermint oil, I have just recently read, is a natural way to keep mice outside of a garage or a home. Its supposed to smell like a female cat to them, so they stay away. The peppermint oil should be one that is pure, an essential oil or can be the peppermint leaves crushed maybe. I have no peppermint leafs so I am going to place the oil in little glass containers like mason jars, not paper containers, because of the oil’s strength, in the garage this fall, if nothing else, the garage will smell very minty.:) I think to know if I use too much or if it works, if all of a sudden there are all kinds of male cats about.

I am going to tell the neighbors on each side on me of this too, so they might tell their neighbors, and these neighbors will tell their neighbors, until maybe the mice will come to a neighbor with an open field:)

A little word of caution if this is tried, to be careful of the oil getting into your eyes.
