Get a Free Coke Zero With Your Turkey Burger

Fast food restaurants cannot usually be described as the best place for someone to find a healthy meal. Despite this, there are many people who crave fast food when they are on a diet. In response, several fast food places have started to offer slightly healthier food choices, like diet beverages and leaner burgers.

Checking Out Curb Alerts

You never know what you will find just sitting on the side of the road. Although some people see this as picking up “someone else’s junk” you can find some decent things along the side of the road. I am not talking about somebody’s trash, but very useful and decent items that someone else does not want anymore. People are so incredibly busy these days. It is becoming more the “norm”, as each year passes. People clean in their spare time, which is usually “here or there”. More and more people work these days to make ends meet and they … Continue reading →

When Weather Takes Over

It is amazing how much the weather can affect your home, and consequently your life. For the last couple of weeks, we have been shown this to be so true. From wind and rain that seemed to come out of no where and stayed practically forever, our home and yard has been greatly affected. On one particular day, for example, all three of our car windshields were broken from falling tree limbs! Yes, so there was the expense for three repairs, right there. Of course, I did score a point for having us all clean out the garage so we … Continue reading →

Defining Our New Front Walk

In an earlier post, Putting in a New Front Walk, I talked about starting our new project of replacing the problem walk. Unfortunately the weekend project turned into a week-long project due to a need for additional supplies as well as a freak hail storm. After removing all of the weeds that had grown within the path between the flagstone I previously removed, I moved on to defining the path. It needed to be wider and more even than it was previously. I used the same hand tool that I used for weeding to define and edge the walk, and … Continue reading →

Building Fairy Houses

In our yard there have been all sorts of little houses springing up. Just talk a walk around our property, and you just might spot a few. As you exit our house and travel up the slate paved walk, don’t look down. That is because if you keep your eyes ahead and open, you just might see something curious. Just up ahead, there just might be a quaint little cottage tucked beneath a tree. It had a door with a doorknob and a stately tree out front. These fairies like to build there abodes in cozy nooks. Their homes are … Continue reading →

Attracting Bats to Your Yard

Posted on by

When creating your backyard wildlife habitat, you may want to think about bats! Bats are a great way to control night-flying insects in and around your yard and garden. Not only do bats gobble up flying bugs — many insects will simply avoid areas where they hear bats. Do you live in a good area for bats? Here are some qualities bats look for in a home: Lots of insects to eat — one bat can eat as many as one thousand bugs each night. You’ll often find bats near water because insects tend to favor moist places. Caves or … Continue reading →

Attracting Birds to Your Yard

Posted on by

It doesn’t take a ton of effort to attract feathered visitors to your yard or patio. All you need to offer is food, water, and shelter. Providing food for your visiting birds doesn’t have to mean a bird feeder and a constant supply of seed. Flowering and fruit-bearing plants provide sustenance, as do plants that attract insects. Bugs are a good source of protein! When it comes to water, a traditional birdbath isn’t necessary, but can be an attractive addition to your outdoor space. A shallow dish filled with water (like a large plant saucer or even a snow disc) … Continue reading →

Attracting Toads to Your Yard

Posted on by

When thinking about wildlife you’d like to welcome to your yard, you might not be thinking about toads. But here’s one very good reason to make things toad-friendly: just one toad can eat more than a hundred beetles, slugs, moths, and other bugs per day. That adds up to more than three thousand insects per month! It’s hard to beat a toad for natural pest control. Unless you’re very vigilant, you won’t see much of your toad friends during the day. Toads are most active at night, hunting slugs and cutworms. During the day, toads need a dark, cool place … Continue reading →
