HOBBIES/INTERESTS/PASTIMES . . .

HOBBIES is a word that has such a pleasurable and contented ring about it - hobbies, something that you enjoy doing and adds to the quality of your life. Perhaps like me, you envisaged retirement as a time to at last indulge yourself with all the hobbies and interests which had to be pushed into the background during the hectic years of working and looking after the family, only to discover that retirement is just as hectic and that it is still a job to fit in hobbies. I was surprised to read ...

Emu, THE Natural AlternativeTM for the

A hot new food for the outdoor cooking season Fifty years ago you might see the backyard grill in action three times in a year: Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. Dad would wrestle it out of the garage, knock off the dust and hand Mom the rack to clean, usually at her insistence since the blackened grime 'added flavor' and 'the fire would burn off any germs.' She would carry it at arms length into the house where she would scrub it. Dad would get the charcoal just right and flip ...

    Easy Tips On How To Care For Your Plants

    Many people worry a lot when it comes to caring for their plants. When talking about house plants, there is no need to worry. There are just a few things you need to consider. 1.

    Healthy Garden Soil - Composting; how, when, & why

    In the soft, warm bosom of a decaying compost heap, a transformation from life to death and back again is taking place. Life is leaving the living plants of yesterday, but in their death these leaves and stalks pass on their vitality to the coming generations of future seasons. Here in the dank, moldy pile the wheel of life is turning. Compost is more than a fertilizer or a healing agent for the soil's wounds. It is a symbol of continuing life.
