Japanese Beetles
July 24, 2010 – 6:41 am
These Japanese Beetles absolutely covered a morning glory vine that is climbing my front banister…i’m not saying that this natural cleaning product is the end all natural deterrent for japanese beetles. It’s most certainly not a official recommended usage for this product, but I must tell you that there are like NO japanese beetles on this [...]
Something Eggy About It
July 5, 2010 – 6:17 am
A friend recently asked how do they get egg shells to be brown?? I thought what a great question – truthfully I have no idea!! So I thought I’d ask my local farmer. I get my eggs from Katie and Hans at PrairiErth Farms . What makes an eggshell it’s color is the type of [...]
Summer Fluffy White Cloud Day
June 29, 2010 – 2:42 pm
One excellent barometer for an absolutely perfect summer day is the blueness of the sky and the fluffiness of the clouds. When combined and viewed from an especially thick patch of grass laying flat on your back (that’s what I did when I was little – how about you? ) this is what daydreams are made of. [...]
Grilling Rubs And Marinades
June 19, 2010 – 6:47 am
Did you know that if you take a portabello mushroom and marinate it for DAYS, that it’s exceptional grilled? I tried it, and sure enough. It was just superb.

Do Your Popsicles Hydrate?
June 9, 2010 – 6:02 am
It’s that time of year when it’s definitely hot enough to enjoy popsicles again. I have always been a tad horrified by those plastic tubes with food dye colored popsicle treats. Something that turns your mouth blue just doesn’t seem very natural. The expense of alternative fruit juice pops has always seemed too high. For years and years we [...]
The Athletic Edge

Summer is a Great Time for Sports Nutrition Products Are you exercising more now that it’s summer? Perhaps casually; on your bike, taking walks, or creating your annual garden? Maybe you are an amateur athlete in volleyball, baseball leagues or preparing for a tri-atholon? Sports nutrition products can help hydrate you or relieve those aching, tired muscles. Not all sports hydration products are created [...]

Bikini Or Bust?
May 26, 2010 – 6:45 am
The hype is on! Lose weight so you can l0ok good in that summer bikini! Is that hype healthy? Quick weight loss is never the answer. I feel weight loss is like a chemistry project. A big ( no pun intended ) very complicated, individual, unique equation that requires all the variables to be working together. [...]
