I’ve noticed that when I go to the local farm to buy my produce, I come home with produce and little else. No extra plastic bags or bulky marketing tags. Don’t get me wrong; some things need to be placed in bags. Ever try to bring home loose string beans without a bag? The good [...]
I am absolutely amazed at this simple remedy for squirrels in my flower box. Quite some time ago I wrote about how squirrels were destroying my flower box . I have been unable to stop them from ravaging the dirt and tossing it around the deck. Pre-Planting Discovery I have two flower boxes that are [...]

Very recently I found a much cheaper and easier (and embarrassingly obvious) way to disinfect the kitchen sponge. I can’t believe that I overlooked such an [...]

The real kicker with Earth Tones is that they donate 100% of their profits to organizations that help to make the environment better. Earth Tones Wireless Service [...]
In my last post I was very excited about my solar spotlights. They worked well and they helped me to see the trash when I made a night trash run. You would think that I’d leave well enough alone, wouldn’t you? Well, I didn’t.
I’ve rekindled my love affair with solar power and solar lights. Like most folks, I’ve got the obligatory solar lights that line front walkway to my house.
