Can now quilt on my porch
#22
I grew up in the country (sticks) on a dirt road. There were some folks that pinned a cotton ball to their screen door as they said it kept the flies away. Mom was born and raised in Chicago, so she didn't go for a lot of the southern tricks, so to speak, therefore, we never used the cotton ball on the screen door. Does anyone have any idea if this trick worked or not with the flies? Mary

will have to try this-too bad I did not know this when I lived in Australia. The Australia National salute is a hand wave in front of the face to move the flies along!!
Flies are pesky little things-wonder if this also works for no-see-'um's or midgies as some call them.
