Maple tree seeds are known in my area as whirlygigs. I have heard them called other things, such as helicopters and twirly’s. Much to the disappointment of children in this area, Ohio will have a big drop in the number of these floating around this year. We had a week of very […]
Occasionally a blogger will write something that is completely unrelated to their normal topic, but they are compelled to share it with the world. This is just such and occasion! Check out this post I wrote on a personal blog. You can take it as funny or serious, I just had the urge […]
I recently went to visit family in Kentucky. I can’t seem to leave my gardening habits at home anymore. I spotted these outside Florence Mall in Florence Ky. Talk about over potting! It’s hard to get a good idea about the size of these in the picture, you almost have to […]
Ohio is known for its unpredictable weather. The one thing we can count on is that we’ll have weather. What kind is any body’s guess. I planted my vegetable garden almost two weeks ago, and the one time we don’t have a freak rain fall is when I want it! It […]
For those of you who read my post a couple months back about Ferdinand, you’ll remember he was an indoor ficcus in bad shape. Sadly, Ferdinand did not survive the repotting. He was officially pronounced dead last week when one of my cats got to him and broke some of the limbs. […]

For consumers, that could mean significantly longer time to talk and play music between charges. The new battery, which is also biodegradable, could eventually […]
Deborah over at Simply Thrifty found a great site that is giving away free tree seedlings! Anytime you can get a couple good seedlings for free is a good deal. Not sure what kind of trees they are, but it is being promoted by the National Arbor Day Foundation, and Doubletree Hotels, who […]
I encountered a slight problem when I broke ground for my vegetable garden last week. An underground power line! Thinking it was a tree root, I almost chopped through it when I felt my shovel hit it. Fortunately my curiosity got the better of me and I pulled it up before I cut […]
Due to time constraints and lack of space, my list for my vegetable garden has changed a bit! I’m only doing corn, limas, tomatoes, and potatoes. I had hoped to do several new things this year, like carrots and zucchini, but unfortunately time has a way of getting away from us, and I […]
