The mosquitoes are terribly thick this year, and we are seeing swarms of them in areas we never saw before.
So......
I decided to dig a bit deeper and found a recipe on Mountain Rose Herb's blog. Less messy, and easier to tote along for possible camping trips. They posted one using catnip, other essential oils, and witch hazel extract.
I had all of the ingredients but a few, and even found catnip to make the tincture for it.

Homemade Mosquito Repellent ~ Summer is Not Over
I know it's a bit late in the season, but I have been wanting to try a recipe using basil and vodka. The temperatures soared up to the 90's this week. It definitely feels like summer is still here.
I spent the early part of the week deep cleaning my kitchen. That was a relief, and it kept me out of the heat.
I also took some time to file recipes, pitch the ones that didn't make the cut, and recycle most of the paper.
The kids are still sick, and I am feeling better. There is nothing worse than to have severe congestion when it's 95°F outside.
