Pay it Forward- Never too Busy to Aid a Stranded Driver      Recently, we had stopped at our local gas station and were on our way to spend the day at the beach. Yes, I sometimes take a day off but we were in a hurry. While sitting in the car, I noticed a distressed lady and she had walked up to a car and spoke to someone and they rolled up their window. She did not look like a pan handler and anyway I rolled down my window and asked if I could help her.   Come to find out she was a recent widow and was on her way somewhere and her tire was extremely low and she did not know how to put air in her tires or how much.       My husband gladly went inside and asked the clerk to turn on the air and came back and put air in her tire and luckily had a tire pressure gauge in his car.   Frankly ... 04/07/2013

  St. Patrick's Day along with some Myths and Traditions       The Day of the Festival of Patrick is a cultural and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March every year. It is named after Saint Patrick (AD 385–461), the most commonly recognized of the patron saints of Ireland.   Until the 17th century, BLUE was the official color of St. Patrick's Day. Over the past 400 years, the vibrant GREEN of the lucky shamrock came to symbolize Ireland's patron saint.   Irish Folklore says that Saint Patrick used the 3 Leafed Shamrock to teach pagans the history of Christian Holy Trinity; the father, the son and the holy spirit.   Saint Patrick is known to have banished snakes from Ireland but the truth is there were never any snakes due to the extreme cold climate and the icy cold waters. Saint Pat... 03/16/2013

  Orange Full Wolf Moon Spectacular   The first full moon of 2013 occurred on Saturday January 26 and I got some good pictures that night. The moon looked awesome.     Some call it the Wolf Moon, which the Farmer’s Almanac attributes to the Algonquin’s and other American Indians, under the notion that hungry wolves would howl on the outskirts of Native villages in the dead of winter.         According to EarthSky.org, the January full moon—like the July sun—”follows a high path across the sky as seen from the northern part of the globe, and a low path as seen from the southern”. Hence, it rises north of due east around sunset, climbed highest in the sky around midnight and sets north of due west around sunrise.   This happens because a full moon lies opposite the sun, mirroring the sun’... 03/13/2013

    During the Cold Weather, Don’t Forget To Feed the Birds   Feeding the birds is a rewarding and enjoyable hobby in the midst of chilly winter weather and this is the time when they need your help as the snow has covered the seeds and insects plus the temperatures are extremely cold so they need more fuel to survive.   ·        Cover: Feeders will be most useful in the winter if they have a wide cover over feeding ports, perches and dispensing trays so seed is not buried during snowfalls or storms. Fly-through platform feeders are especially good designs for winter bird feeding. The cover should extend several inches over the edge of the feeder to ensure protection from all but the most serious storms.         ·        Placement: Ideally, winter birdfeeders should be placed in shelter... 02/22/2013

Make Pinecone Ornaments on a Dime  I have an abundance of pinecones nearby so I like to decorate with them. Here’s a few ideas that are easy to make and totally inexpensive. Pinecone Frames   Find the cones that have opened up so you can easily remove the scales. Wash the pinecones and let them dry thoroughly. Break off the pinecone scales with floral clippers or wire cutters.    Cut a template out of cardboard. Cut a  photo about ¼” smaller. Glue photo on the top with a glue stick. You can also use a pretty Christmas card to as I did in the second example.     I used a hot glue gun to place the pine cone scales around the frame. You will probably have to trim the scales to make them lay flat on the frame. "Do not use your good scissors for this project as it will dull them".  **If you ... 12/18/2012
