Instead of lime juice, use 18 cup (30ml) of fresh or frozen strawberry puree. Blend it with 1 cup (217 g) of ice cubes, 14 cup (59ml) of tequila, and 1.5 tablespoons (22ml) of orange liqueur. Make strawberry puree by placing strawberries in a food processor and processing them until smooth. For kids or adults who don't want an alcoholic beverage, substitute plain sparkling water for the tequila. Then, instead of orange liqueur, pour in orange juice. Blend it all together with ice and frozen limeade concentrate. Keep in mind that without alcohol, the frozen margarita will melt faster. Store bought mixes come in all different flavors, from mango to pineapple, and usually only require you to add tequila and ice. Follow the instructions on the back of the bottle for making frozen margaritas with that specific type and brand. You can find pre-made margarita mixes at a liquor store, grocery store, or online retailer.

Summary: Swap pureed strawberries for lime juice to make a strawberry frozen margarita. Opt for sparkling water and orange juice if you want a virgin frozen margarita. Use pre-made margarita mix if you want an easier option.

When training a deaf dog, you need to be able to get its attention without using sound. It's easy to scare or surprise a deaf dog that is sleeping or doesn't notice you approaching. Be thoughtful when approaching it so that it doesn't get scared and snap at you in fear. Above all, don't touch the dog without being sure that it knows you are there. You can gently wake a deaf dog up by placing your hand in front of its nose so it smells your presence. Do this consistently every time you wake your dog up. Give the dog a treat when it wakes up so that it starts to associate waking up with pleasant emotions. If your dog is awake but not looking at you, you can use light to signal that you are nearby and you want its attention. Shine a flashlight or laser pointer in your dog's line of sight to get your dog's attention when it's not looking at you. You can also flick a light switch on and off to get the dog's attention. Try hooking a small flashlight onto the handle of your dog's leash. This will ensure that you have a flashlight to use with your dog when you take it on a walk. If you don't have a light to turn on and off, you can use vibrations to let your dog know you want its attention. Tap your foot or hand on the floor of your home at least 2 feet (0.61m) away from your dog. The dog will feel the vibrations and know you are approaching. If your dog is sleeping, you can gently scratch the floor or some object near the dog so it feels the vibration. This trick may not work if you and your dog are on very solid flooring or are outside. There are specialty collars that send a small vibration to your dog's neck when you hit a button on a remote. These can be used to get your dog's attention when it is not looking at you or is far away. This is a different product than an e-collar, which emits a small electrical pulse onto the dog's neck. Do not use e-collars. They are not considered humane, as they can be painful for the dog, easily overused, and can lead to the dog exhibiting aggression or fear.

Summary: Don't startle a deaf dog. Use light to get your dog's attention. Make vibrations on the ground to get your dog's attention. Put a vibrating collar on the dog.

The dried petals can be stored that way for extended periods. Make sure the storage containers seal tightly to prevent insects from entering and eating the petals. Do not store them in direct sunlight. The options are endless. Use them in your wedding, create a sensual experience, or add them to potpourri or try one of the following. Enhance a rose cocktail, create a festive rose petal punch, or indulge in some refreshing rosewater. Create a necklace out of rose petal beads, or make your own unique scent with rose petal perfume. Try rose petal sandwiches. Get rustic by making your own rose petal jam, or make frosted rose petals to add to a cake.

Summary: Store dried rose petals in coffee cans, tins, or glass jars. Decide how you want to use your rose petals. Add rose petals to your favorite drink. Get artsy and add rose petals to your crafts. Add some petals to your food.

Stick your finger into the top inch of the soil. If it feels dry, give your plant another healthy dousing of water. Clematis only need about six hours of direct sun per day, and they prefer to have their roots in shade. Placing the clematis near an eastern or western window, or in a shady spot on your deck or patio, should provide sufficient light. The amount of fertilizer you add after that will vary based on the type you use. A rose fertilizer a month or two apart should provide enough nutrients, or you could give the plant a liquid fertilizer high in potash two to three times a month. Too much fertilizer can cause harmful salts to build up in the soil, however, so you must monitor your plant to determine if it is still healthy. The label "10-20-10" refers to the percentages of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nitrogen produces leaves, phosphorus strengthens the roots, and potassium helps flower growth. The fertilizer you choose should be balanced in nitrogen and potassium with a slightly higher content of phosphorus. Once the vine starts growing, insert a bamboo cane or thick stake at a slight angle into the pot, getting it as close to the side of the pot as possible to avoid disrupting their roots. As the vines grow, gently tie them onto the cane using twine or yarn. Proper vertical support will allow your clematis to become bushier and taller, leading to more foliage and a greater amount of flowering. There are three types of clematis, and each has its own pruning requirements. For clematis that bloom early on the previous year's growth, you should remove all the dead and weak stems as soon as the plant flowers. For clematis that bloom between mid and late summer on old and new growth you should only remove dead growth once the plant gets crowded. For clematis that bloom between mid and late summer on new growth alone, you should remove all growth from the previous year, only leaving the lowest pair of buds. Clematis wilt and leaf spot are the two most common diseases faced by this plant. Infected stems should be removed, and the remaining plant should be treated with fungicide.
Summary: Check your clematis every day to determine whether or not the soil is moist enough. Place the pot in a location that receives partial sun. Fertilize your clematis in the spring with high quality compost or a granular fertilizer like 102010. Provide the clematis with ample support. Prune your clematis accordingly. Watch out for signs of fungi.
